copy.

i just don't want him to get in trouble is all

if it matters

he lives in California, USA

just in case thre is some state law as well

Answer 1

He has the game and if he bought it legally then it shouldn't matter. You can't change the fact it is registered to someone else. It should be fine to register it on more than one PC as it still his details and he owns the game

Answer 2

Used games are a great way to save money, it really depends on where you buy them.

If your nephew bought the game from gamestop/ebgames then the game is guaranteed to work, if it doesn't work you can return it for a full refund. You can also return it within 7 days if you don't like it for a full refund

Edit: He more than likely wont get caught but I wouldn't take my chances, you can get Halo for PC for very cheap now.

Answer 3

Your not going to get in any trouble what so ever. Is all I can say I guess.
