To whoever somehow stole an export code from a brand new wrapped up game, I hate you

[SonicRocker15X]

Quite frankly, this is more than likely going to be my first thread that gets locked, but I don't care, I need to rant.

So, I buy Lego Rock Band at launch, look at the export code (It was oh so useless in my 480 MSP account).
A week later, I've played enough of the game to excuse exporting (beat the story and such), and finally bought more MSP today.

Go to export.... Big red letters; "That game code has already been redeemed."
WTF. I'm sorry, and I know it could be a bug in the system, but I'm MAD right now. Especially because I'm a SINGLE DAY ABOVE SEVEN DAYS, and can't get a new one from GameStop for a new code that isn't used. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind needing to swap discs occasionally, but I've wanted these songs in my RB2 ever since I've seen the setlist confirmed.

Try emailing the lego peeps:

legorockband_support@aqinc.com

Maybe they will give you a new code to turn that frown upside down.

I hope they do.

You can also call if you prefer:

Actually I already contacted the support email it gives on the export site itself, and quite frankly I'm starting to calm down. But that really got me mad.

It's possible that:
- code was printed twice by accident
- code is the one used as example on the site
- someone guessed your code and redeemed it for you

I'm really sorry to hear this happened to you! I didn't think it would happen, but I guess anything is possible.

I could cetainly see that being a HUGE buzzkill indeed and it sending the urge to kill right through the roof.

Serenity now.

HMXThrasher just posted that new support info today so it might come in handy if you dont get a response right away from the other one.

The second one is out (From the very first digit it's not my code), but with the amount of rentnripperz I wouldn't doubt someone "Got a lucky guess".

Some of those trade in places have their own shrink-wrappers, btw. Which might be how it got out then back into a wrapping.

Thing is, though, who manages to get that game into the trade in place at 10:30 AM launch day?

The clerk the night before, or in at 830 that morning.

I've known a few folks that worked at EB (which is Gamestop's canadian presence), and the ones that weren't that unethical, sure had lots of stories about ones that were.

If you raise enough noise and add some random threats about making bad publicity the the manager or even farther up the ladder, they'll probably waive the time limit.

According to a phone call to GameStop, if they have another copy they'll give it, and it happens all the time, a LOT (which is expected).

Also, through ten other customer service people, I got sent to that number... and their offices are closed.
