So many people will FAIL to actually READ THE article before posting DUMB comments. and most of them will be ....

Hmmm. Gonna' have to try my code out when I have the chance.

More AW is a good thing. Anyone who likes survival horror would get a kick out of it.

IMHO: Dead Space > AW > RE5 > theclusterf@ckknownasaloneinth edark

bioshock12215438d ago

Yeah that sucks but why would people try to redeem their codes when the DLC is not available to begin with.

PR0X15438d ago

If you used your code, they will e-mail you a new one. Majornelson said it's best to use it when the dlc is out...a few weeks back...

but it's the xbox 360 so HAHAHAH FAIL MICROSOFT HAHAHAAH THIS COULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR MIGHTY SONY!!!11122~~3111!!!

TheXgamerLive5438d ago

when you redeemed the code, which was for the video that explained the "REAL" code will be sent to your "LIVE" email address to get it for free online. the code in game was for the video explaining and getrting you your code sent to email.

I love survival horror. I played it on hard and failed to experience the 'survival element' as there was always a fresh supply of ammo around every corner.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8426d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto425d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia426d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger426d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie426d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos426d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie426d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh426d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
