Buy Dying Light Season Pass from Gamestop, Get the Full Game Free

Hardcore Gamer: Reports are coming in that, when buying the PS4 version of the Dying Light Season Pass on Gamestop.com, buyers are also getting a little bonus, and that bonus is the full Dying Light game. Yup, the whole game.

[vishmarx]

youll just be wasting 20$ considering this is dead island not on an island but a boring suburb
.
besides you still dont have the game.
they can always revert it and fool you into buying the season pass lol

[Lilrizky]

well that's a very negative attitude

i'm playing it and while yes, it does carry elements from dying light (as did titanfall with cod, as did destiny with halo, as is bloodborne with dark souls), it is NOT a bording dead island.

u forgot the 2 main elements from the game that set it apart and make it A LOT more awesome.

that's day and night and the parkour

i'm playing it right now and it's way better than dead island

[TFJWM]

It seems decent I've only spent a few mins on the PC version, got it free with my last Video card. I'd say its worth 20 esp if it comes with the season pass. I'd worry that Sony will revert these to just the season pass in the next day or 2 thou.

[ifistbrowni]

Replying to you so it's near the top

It appears it's over with now. When you go to the site it says "oops, game over! our server was unable to process your request"

Sucks for the guys who sleep late on the East Coast and I'd imagine very few were able to take advantage on the West Coast.

[ifistbrowni]

just worked from me. PS4, 8:18 AM East coast.

was going to pre-order digitally on ps4, lucky i didn't

[-Ghost]

Lucky. I tried around 8:30 AM Eastern and I couldn't even add the gift card as it kept saying not valid. I was pissed but I got a refund from Amazon, thankfully.

Hope you enjoy the game!

[JsonHenry]

@Vishmarx Been playing the game all day. It has a lot in common with Dead Island. But its more serious, the gameplay is more intense, and even if it was just Dead Island without the Island that would be fine too. Dead Island is a blast to play, especially with friends.

Dying Light is a very fun (and good looking!!) game.

[LostinthePANIC]

Here's the transcript I had with GameStop customer care:

"Ivor C.: Welcome to GameStop Customer Care! My name is Ivor C.. I am so sorry for the long wait time. I appreciate your patience. How may I help you?

Gregory H: Yes, I purchased the Dying Light Season Pass with My physical copy of the game at my gamestop and the season pass put a digital copy of the game on my ps4 instead of the season pass. I called the store like your website stated and they said they dont know what to do.

Ivor C.: you purchase this season pass on the store ? or online ?

Gregory H: in the store

Ivor C.: At this precise moment we have been confirmed that this issue that you experienced with your game is a known bug or error as there has been a lot of orders for the same item that are experiencing the same problem. The tech department is working diligently to have this situation solved as soon as possible,

What happened is that the manufacturer of the game had an error and unfortunately it ended mixing up the season pass and the normal game; Our main department is currently working on the issue and we have been instructed that sony will email you the code for the season pass to your email you will have to keep the extra copy of the game that you got

Gregory H: Ok, so just wait for Sony's email then?

Ivor C.: correct it could take 24 to 48 hours for the code to be mail to you

Gregory H: Okay, Thank you for your time."

[Stopher92]

So if you got the full game using the glitch, you get to permanently keep it? They're not going to eventually void my license for the download. Is that correct?

[JMaine518]

People over at Gaf confirmed that it worked for them. Seems like it worked for those who payed with PayPal.

[JMaine518]

i tried it and got hit with a "Code unavailable until order review is complete. You will be notified via e-mail with further instructions." Hopefully they send me a code.

[xfiles2099]

I used my credit card and it worked still working as of 30 mins ago

[Bobby Kotex]

$20 is more than i'm willing to spend on this game.

[2pacalypsenow]

is this game any good? worth 20$?

Is this glitch still working?

[SpiralTear]

Reports are coming in that it is, in fact, still working. Though the consistency of the methods (Paypal, credit card, logged in to account, guest account) is sketchy.

To answer your question, though, yes.

[2pacalypsenow]

Im scared to buy the DLC and then it doesnt work and im stuck with DLC i wont use not sure

[ZoyosJD]

Worked with debit, but PP is still under review/processing.

It is downloading for me now.

[vickers500]

It only works with ps4 version apparently (from one of the comments in the CAG forums). Doesn't work for Xbox One.

[Lilrizky]

it's a gr8 game

voice acting is B-grade

but u can parkour EVERYTHING! technically, the game is impressive

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Loving it, much better than I thought I'd be.

[Lilrizky]

Well i pre-ordered the physical version of the game as well, and EB Games just notified me saying i'll be getting the season pass for free.

so i guess it works both ways?

[armogangsta]

I just bought the season pass. And I used paypal like some of you guys posted. I hope I get lucky!

[armogangsta]

Will keep you guys posted if it works.

[KING85]

Worst case scenario you just wait until the actual game comes on sale. I tried it myself by the way, but I already have it preloaded on steam. It's just a waiting game. They honored the Saint's Row IV: Gat out of Hell fiasco so maybe we might strike gold twice :)

[armogangsta]

Hey, so I just called Gamestop right now and this is some information I uncovered. There are people who bought the game who got codes to the DLC and not the game and then there are people who bought the DLC and got codes to the full games. Gamestop is aware of the issues. I called them up since I was one of the unlucky who bought it and didn't get the full game and the customer rep told me that I'll be taken care of in regards to the issue. And that if I don't get the full game I can get a refund for putting down on the DLC... Yeee

[armogangsta]

Okay so Gamestop just emailed me telling me I can get a refund if I want. Going to try my best now to haggle on seeing if I can get more than just that. it would be a miracle if I get more than just a refund knowing Gamestops greediness and terrible customer service. hah

[ibrake4naps]

Alright I tried it. Hope it works!

[tutchmedia]

Damn. U.S addresses only :(

[armogangsta]

No code yet... none for DLC or game :/ I HOPE IT WORKS!

[LoneWolf019]

Used my Debit card and worked for me

[xfiles2099]

Same here I used my credit card and its downloading the full game it asked me what I wanted downloaded first Single Player or Multiplayer anyone who wants this I would take advantage of this quick

[hit17388]

Guys i just bought it and it worked. Bought it with my debit and it doesn't show the dlc it shows the full game once you put it in the ps store on the redeem section!!

[rocky047586]

Yep, it just worked for me too. Full game is downloading for me right now as I type this. Cool.

[AKissFromDaddy]

Really dude? I want to so badly!

[rocky047586]

Do it bro. I swear to god it worked when I did it! The worst that can happen is that you'll have some DLC you didn't want lol. But it worked for me, TRY IT NOW!!!

[AKissFromDaddy]

Okay. (crosses fingers)

Edit: I just did it. I wait now (wipes sweat from brow).

Edit: I just received this message:
"Oops!
We've encountered a problem processing your order. We have not charged you and your order has not been placed. Please try again or contact Customer Care at 1-800-883-8895."

It's over.

[94jdh]

Working from the UK if you set up a US PSN account:

easiest way is to buy instant gamestop gift card from Amazon US ($25). Make up an account for Gamestop.com, google a McDonalds address in the states. Then Buy with the the Gamestop card. It is a bit of a hassle, but ends up around £17.50 for the full game with a spare $5 for Gamestop in the future

[zielocz3k]

is there a polish language in US version of the game or just english ?

[94jdh]

I'm not certain but I would guess as it is the US version and not EU, it may be English only

[xwilldemise]

Lmaoooo @ "Google a McDonalds here in the states". It's almost as if everyone who's outside of USA, the first thing that comes to mind about the country is Mickey D's lol

[xwilldemise]

Bought the season pass at 3 AM & it's 5:30 AM right now & got my order confirmation saying that my code will come in a seperate e-mail but still nothing??? I payed with PayPal also, possibly my order is under review??

One things for sure, even though this seems to be working for most if not everyone so far, I'll be hella frustrated if I get the damn DLC, a waste of twenty bucks on DLC I'll never use plus $20's the most ill drop on this game so id most likely never get it down the line either if that's the case.

[MusashiBlack]

Still works!!!!!!!!!!!! got it

[AKissFromDaddy]

How is this possible? I tried before your comment and got an "Oops", lol.

[KodevEx]

Login> Checkout on right side NOT paypal left> Use a CC there or via Paypal

[Huey_My_D_Long]

Try again, the code i used didnt go through the first time but it did the second i just got it 20 minutes ago

[MusashiBlack]

I use a gift card. I bought from Amazon...

[xfiles2099]

This totally works I used my credit card it is downloading the full freaking game.

[mundanematt]

I was planning on buying the season pass anyways, so I said "fuck it" and bought it. Worked. Downloading the full game now.

[marlinfan10]

Still working

Does anyone know if we still get the dlc with the code or is it just the game download code?

[masadiam82]

Is this for pc or consoles?

[N3mosis]

Might be done just tried with my debit card and now getting a processing order message. Same as poster above.

[hpunch]

worked with CC 7:41 est

[masadiam82]

which system did you get it for?

[UNCarolinaBlue]

It works as of 7:50 EST. Downloading now, 15.6 GB

I used Gamestop Credit Card. Will have to play dumb if they try to get their full money back, lol.

PS4 system here.

[Chuska]

Works!! Hurry n do it with CC! It'll say it's code for season pass but when I enter code at ps store it says full game.. For PS4! Woop woop

[digitalwilson08]

Confirmed, it worked for me. Your download instructions will list your purchase as DLC, but when you enter code into PS4 "Redeem a code", you download the full 16gb game. Downloading now

[ifistbrowni]

I have a feeling that the guy responsible for this will have a lot of questioning when he finally wakes up and realizes his mistake.

I wonder how many copies of Dying Light sold specifically because of this. That's a lot of money on "potential" sales. But, honestly, I was just going to rent this game today and try to get the platinum trophy and then move on to other games.

[elbeasto86]

I'm in the East Coast, it's 8:43am, and it worked!!

[JMaine518]

Looks like it's over. They took down the seasons pass from the website.

[Kcube90]

I ordered mine at 5:39 am CST via PayPal , still have not gotten an email with the code. And now it only shows PC season pass, hopefully I get my code before it is fixed.

[N3mosis]

Ordered my code at 6:00 am with a debit card, still haven't received my code yet either.

[Kcube90]

Lets just hope we get the code while the glitch still working, but like others reported ps4/x1 code does not show in the store no more.

[N3mosis]

I'm sure hoping I get my code, any luck yet? I'm about to grab my copy but gonna leave it in the wrapper until I get off of work today.

[masadiam82]

I ordered at 6:15am us central time still haven't received my download code. So swing and miss on my end.

[ifistbrowni]

the code was on the final page of the purchase for me. I used a debit card, though.

Maybe your CC puts charges on hold for awhile. I doubt the code will be what you expect it to be once you finally get it (since they seem to be in the process of fixing "it")

[darthmaul]

PS4 version worked for me about an hour ago! I used the gamestop app on my phone to go to their and used a debit/credit card.

[Double_O_Revan]

Dont even see the season pass for the ps4. Looks like they took it down.

[darthmaul]

Yup it's gone now...I got lucky and got it before they took it down

[Kcube90]

Man I still havent gotten my code :'( . I guess its too late now huh?

[extravalue]

lol so funny
yet people bash piracy

you're still doing the same thing...not paying for the game

so much for supporting the devs

[elbeasto86]

This was Gamestop's screw up that people took advantage of. Gamestop will have to eat the difference. The money is still going to the devs.
With piracy, nothing goes to the devs.

[xxchicago33xx]

Could be wrong...but I think his point was more rooted in the moral dilemma associated with the decision to "take advantage" or "not to take advantage"

I guess we know which side of the Infamous spectrum you're on...either way you're screwing someone...but I guess it is better to screw one than both

[mkis007]

Rationalizing is the first step :)

[94jdh]

It seems that those who ordered the season pass and got the full game will now also get the season pass sent because of the mistake lol

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I bought the game from Best Buy and it had the Be A Zombie Mode bundled in with the game! No need to preorder to get preorder bonuses at Best Buy... Every time I get my games from Best Buy I've ALWAYS got the bonuses for free without preordering!

[tomh2234]

i still haven't gotten my freakin code!

[tomh2234]

ok so i got the code and only got the season pass? did this happen to anyone else that purchased the season pass from game stop before they caught on?
