A puzzling giveaway! (Now with a hint) - Closed and solution provided

Open
Krotho

I've decided to clean up some of the old bundled games that I have.

To start, have a couple keys: 4ZAJE-I6PR4-B40X2, GL5Z8-MHDEP-9YGEP

Now for the fun!

<Puzzle starts here>
Did you ever have a puzzle you hated? 6 giveaways are hidden in this image. Don't give up just because it's hard! Just look carefully at the image, and I'm sure you'll find them. Complaining is not allowed!
<Puzzle ends here>

Personally, I expect everyone to find the first four. The next one is also obvious to me. The last one is tricky, you'll have to know how I think to get it.

Here's the image: http://imgur.com/9UMu7Lp

If you solve one of the games, please leave a comment and bump this thread, even if you don't enter. It's going to be a long night tonight (the longest ever in fact!), so make good use of it.

Happy Christmas and Hanuka and Kwanza and New Years and Solstice and Festivus and anything else I can't remember.

Bump. 5/6
No one found the 6th for hours it seems. Had a nice idea but it didn't work.

I'm okay with nobody getting it yet. I've already given a few hints, but maybe delineating where the puzzle actually starts and ends would help.

I meant, if nobody found it, it's likely I also won't find it.

4/6. I had many hunches for 5/6, but all of them were either wrong or more complicated.

Or maybe I didn't because now I understand it and I failed epically...

Bump 4/6.
I have 2 "sets" of clue but I don't know if they're for 1 game or both and I don't know how to use them ... Some hints will be appreciated :)

I must say it's a very interesting way to make a puzzle! Thanks :) You have amazing photoshop (?) skills!
I solved 3, and I can clearly see the 4th one, but somehow letters don't fit :/
Won't be going crazy for the other ones... xD

For the TES VI!!!

No photoshop at all. I would never lie in a puzzle like this! Everything I say can be taken at face value.

Wait... Did you miss my TES VI giveaway? And the GTA V? I spent all that money on advance copies to give away here.

Yes, I missed them :(((( Such a TES fan and I missed the only copy of VI!!!:((

BTW, on a serious note, Krotho, can I massage You and get me explained this... I cannot work, I cannot think, I stare at Your picture for the last half an hour!!I need my life back! (and I need to work! Damn, I'm at work!)
Please! I do not care about those games.. I can leave entries for others. I just.. need to know the answers...

OK, the moment I've written this, I tried another option and got 4th one xD
Phew.
But this still doesn't help with the another clue, which makes me SO INTERESTED!

I believe you about not using Photoshop.

No, seriously, I do. Why use Photoshop when you can just edit the HTML for a more realistic-looking page? :D

Solved 4/6.

Are 5 & 6 solvable with "Paint.Net" or is Photoshop needed?

A tool is needed for #5, but it doesn't need to be Photoshop. I used mspaint to make certain modifications to the image, but I wouldn't be able to use it to get the answer.

All you need for six is some insight into my twisted mind and about three seconds looking at the puzzle.

Enough people are getting them, so no more hints. All will be revealed in a few days.

Got them all except for number 5, still looking for the fun of it. You guys need to look really hard for number 6. Well done Krotho, this is a really great puzzle :)
