Preordered from Gamestop...

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:50 am

Had to call my store to finally get my code, they were supposed to give me a second receipt with the pending code on it. I recommend if others are having issues, to call their stores and find out whats up. The guy just gave me my code over the phone, downloading this [censored] as we speak.

Florida here and nothing. Just called the store I ordered from and they said to wait until around 12:00-1:00 EST and see if it goes to my P-Up account.

My store said there was nothing they could do over the phone, I have to go in later if it is not sent

The way it seems, you gotta go to gamestop. handle your business with them, make them give you your code. The automated system is [censored]. I'd rather take a 15 min drive, then get my code, then wait another six hours to figure it out.

Same here. 12:30 PM EST. No email even though code was posted on my Powerup Rewards account earlier.
Will download the DLC when I get home later tonight.

Had to go to the store and have them give me the code. Even the retail clerk admitted that this shouldn't have happened and was unhappy that this is the experience I got by preordering the DLC. I just told him that while I will still preorder games from them,I won't bother preordering DLC instead of just getting the points.
He told me that If it's not showing up in your rewards account,then you are going to have to come and get it from the store. They don't do it over the phone. That was why he hung up on the person from the power rewards because they should have know that if they work for Gamestop. So if they can't unlock it for you or it is not showing up,just go to the store. It's easier that way.

Just got off the phone with my local GameStop. The guy on the phone was very helpful and instead of making me drive up to get the code, he sent a picture of the receipt to my phone lol

Wow. I can't believe people actually pre-ordered from GameStop content that would be available online. I went into GameStop the other day and they asked if I wanted to pre-order. I told him that he had to be messing with me because there was absolutely no benefit at all to pre-ordering the game and having to jump through hoops to get the code. He tried to sell some "Well the servers could get clogged and there could be a delay. Herp-derp, profit profit" BS. All I could do was shake my head.

It's 2:42 PM EST and still no email from Gamestop.

*I already have my code that I found in my Powerup account but if Gamestop wasn't going to email anyone, then they shouldn't have put that on my receipt.

The reason I bought the DLC code from Gamestop was because of all the reports of points being stolen from Live accounts. I figured having a direct code to the download would be safer. Had I'd known that no code would be given to me until "some time" today, I would have just purchased the points.
At the same time as buying this DLC, I also bought a code for the Battlefield 3 Premium for the same reason.

Next time, I'll rethink this strategy for anything not released yet.

That's GameStop for you.

As long as you don't give your login info to anyone, and you change your passwords regularly that shouldn't happen. I got the BF3 premium through GameStop aswell, but only because the employee wouldn't shut up about how much easier it would be to just buy the code instead of the points.

Um... what's the point of preordering DLC?

They're not going to run out of stock, and you have to download it anyway.
