I bought it at best buy, and I've looked everywhere on the box, everywhere in the manual. Everywhere...I've tried taking it back but they refuse to take it back because it's been opened.

Look on the back of the manual is my guess. Clearly you're missing how obvious it probably is. Did you buy it wrapped?

Yeah it was wrapped, and I've looked literally everywhere on the box and manual.

Just keep looking. 5 bucks says you glanced over it.

Have you tried looking inside the front and back covers of the manual?

It's possible some employee stole the code I guess.  It's also possible your box somehow didn't get a code at the packing facility too.  Wouldn't be the first time that happened.  Just be really thorough and page through the manual, make sure it's not inside any case or anything.

I've been looking around the box for a while now, I know it is not there. When I tried to take it back they said they could not because the game was opened.

Live access key?  Did I miss something here?

The game comes with a key that lets you link it with your xbox live account....or at least it's supposed to.

No clue what that means, but okay.

I assume you're talking about the PC version? If so the game doesn't require the key to be played, you just don't get Games for Windows Live - which is no major loss.

Edit: If you're absolutely sure it's not on a sticker in the manual, in the box, behind disc etc. then you should be able to contact the publisher to send you a new code; in turn you'll have to send them proof of purchase.

How do you not know what that means? It seems pretty clear.

This happened to my friend with Warhammer Online. It was just blank where it was supposed to be. He took it back to GameStop and they gave him a new one, though. Maybe you could do something similar.

I don't think i had to use the live access key for Fallout 3 for my pc, but my live access key was located under where the disc rest with a rounded rectangular sticker, so maybe someone didn't put the sticker on during the production process for Fallout 3

There is no sticker anywhere.

Mine didn't come with a key and I just logged into my account in-game. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, wait, yes it did.

Mine was on a sticker below the disc slot. I think if it's not there that you need to go back to the store and get a new game.

As I've said, I've tried. They said I can't because it is opened. Which is bull. I hate BestBuy.

Yes, Best Buy's return policy is quite garbage.

Yeah it is, when my ipod broke when I first bought it they said I could return it and get a new one right away and when I got their to return it, they said I had to send my ipod to Texas (I live in Nova Scotia, Canada) than from their they would send a gift certificate for best buy for the price of the ipod. It was bullshit, I can tell you this, I am never buying from best-buy again after all this bullshit.

Just call Microsoft about it, I lost a CD key once and they gave me a new one.

Keep looking at the manual, I'm sure it's there somewhere!

hmm it is a pain ,  long shot is you could go back and make formal complaint , might scare them into giving you a refund or exchange for another copy. Even so it does sound more like it fault of microsoft so i would try giving them a call first.
