Fail: Alan Wake DLC Codes Invalid

If you’ve purchased a new copy of Alan Wake, you’re are probably aware that the highly anticipated game add-on, The Signal, arrives on Xbox LIVE Marketplace tomorrow. If you already have a token for the download, we urge you not to redeem your code until The Signal is officially available on Xbox LIVE

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

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

PR0X15686d 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!!!

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.

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

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.

gigoran8673d ago

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

jznrpg85d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto672d 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

Knightofelemia673d 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.

Chocoburger673d 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? 🙄

Rynxie673d ago

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

Profchaos673d 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.

Rynxie673d ago

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

Asplundh673d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
