Is it worth it?

That’s the first question I ask myself every time Wifey or me purchase a toy or whatnot for any of our kids that require the input of several pieces of PIIs in order to either activate, or use their online component.

100% of the time, I use a completely bogus series of info, and I NEVER use any product that requires a credit card.

Nothing they offer – NOTHING – is worth registering for. I have already paid for the toy/tchotchke. Go away.
