Robo knows he's wrong, but by now he's taken it too far to admit so.

I'm about ready to punch somebody in the face over this DLC code shit. All the information tells me to go online and redeem my codes. Since they're shorter than normal Xbox codes I assumed that's what needed to happen. I redeem them all on the Mass Effect site and they all prompt me to download .EXE files. Uh...I'm not playing the PC version. So then I boot up the game and it asks for my code at the front, which of course now says it's already in use.

What. The. Fuck.

Yikes! What a clusterfuck.

Can you go back to the store and exchange for a new copy?

Shit. I did the same thing. That's what the email said to do. SHIT!!!!

doesnt it work just like dragon age where you do it in-game?

pinata242 01-26-10 11:27 AM

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
Evidently it does, Chris, but not everyone has played DA. Also, as they wrote, the instructions said do it online.

Not even going to read this thread for fear of spoilers. I'll only come in here to say that this game will be waiting for me at my house after work today. SO excited!

Yeah, here's the email:

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
yeah, i was confused by this, too. i popped in the game and entered the cerebus thing by making an EA account through the Xbox, but not sure what to do with the other code for gamestop freebies.

pinata242 01-26-10 11:59 AM

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
Here's what the card in the box says:


Below is your single-use code to activate the Cerberus Network, an online-enabled system providing access to included bonus downloadable content. To use this code, you must have a free EA Online account. If you do not already have an account, you can create one within MASS EFFECT 2 or by visiting EA.com and clicking "Register." After successfully logging in to your EA Online account, enter this code at the redemption screen.
So, it's very unclear where you enter that code. It says you can create your account either through the game or online, but nowhere does it say you have to enter this code through the game. Terrible wording.

Getting impatient with UPS. The game left a facility about 20 min away from me at 7 am. Figure it's gotta be here soon but who knows.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
Dang that's frustrating about the free DLC. I'll be picking up my copy today hopefully.

yeah, i was confused by that until you put the game in and it prompts you to enter the code.

problem is now i'm having a tough time figuring out where to enter the code from gamestop. nowhere on the main menu screen. i assume it's in game, so i'll have to start it up and try. :shrug:

Yeah..but I'm a retard and read the instructions first. Guess that shows me! ;)

Real men don't read instructions!

I'm glad I read this first though before my copy arrives later today :lol:

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
 
don't read unless you've started the game already.

Spoiler:
looks like some of thsoe that predicted Shepherd dying and being cloned based on the promo trailer were spot on.
