My borderlands points posted, but the 1000 bonus never showed or posted. I guess it is time to call.

Yea I knew what it was but i'm confused as to why 2 codes and think one may be different....

Yesterday I got what you described:

"Nba 2K13 Allstar Preorder Bonus Dlc - Xbox 360 [Digital Download Add-On]"

Today:

"NBA2K 13 - Preorder Bonus"



Guess i'll punch the code in when I get off work and see what the remdemption summary says.

my problem with this deal is

1. inconsistency, some people are already getting their credit.
2. it's been 2 weeks - waiting 30 days for anything to be electonically delivered is bull...

defeats the whole purpose of this preorder deal in my eyes. and that was to use it towards another new release purchase, and roll it over to the next.

by that time i get the credit - let's be honest the game's price will drop online for $30 or less. + i would've beaten it and moved on by then, and you'll be stuck on another game credit train like "kmart" had a while back.

look - i just want my rzone credit and no one gets hurt...

Got my preorder bonus emails for RE6 and NBA2K13 from BB today. I won't need them if anyone is interested.

People are getting them early because they are getting them from the date they preordered it on, not the pick up date. So I preordered mine Borderlands 2 on 9/1 and got my 1000 points on 10/2, unfortunately I preordered RE6 on 9/1 too, picked it up 10/2 on release and have my points pending right now, if I get them early great, if not, no big deal. You do not need to roll every cert from one game to the immediate next one out. I am still able to use them on something I was going to get anyways, such as my RE6 and Dishonored points will go towards BLOPS 2 or Halo 4 and I would pay $40 less for it.

edit: also if the price drops within 30 days (60 days for silver members) one can PM it to another store and get that $30 price tag anyways.

If you don't like the terms of the deal, than don't take part of the deal. No one's forcing you to prorder at BB.

Re6 doesnt totally suck but its not the 9.1 I thought it would be. Camera is bad, ammo is almost non existent, and worse of all you cant pause the game.

BTW the begg. to chapter 2 of jake's story was some of the most frustrating gameplay Ive had since my playthrough of ninja gaiden 3.

So it is basically the first Resident Evil? That was a great game, but I believe it had all 3 of those problems.

You can pause if you choose to play in Offline Mode when starting the game. I agree with your other two points though. They obviously want it to be an action game first but fail to give out ammo while the enemies take quite a few bullets to kill. I also HATE, HATE, HATE getting locked in a room filled with enemies with these clunky ass controls and camera. The cover system sucks too. Why not just copy Gears' or Uncharted's cover mechanics? No manual with limited tutorials doesn't help either. Biggest disappointment of the year to me so far.

OMG for sure it is. I had to stop playing that chapter for fear of throwing my controller at something.

Anybody have any pseudo review on RE6 local co-op? Didn't preorder RE6 since the wife and I are still playing Borderlands 2, and will be doing so for some time.

Well I on the other hand am thoroughly enjoying it, and I've only nicked the surface of the game. I'm enjoying the variety in characters and how they fight, the skill system is pretty neat, and I love the fact they added that Demon's Souls esqe invading system.

Sure the game has its little flaws like the camera panning off to show a POI while enemies sucker punch you, but overall, this is a very polished game. And even WITH its flaws, the game is worthy of at LEAST an 8/10.

Seems a lot of people are having trouble with the dodge dive and slide moves but I'm finding them to be second nature for me.

Just played the first boss battle on Jake's first chapter and I was sliding and rolling out the woodwork almost shocked at myself for my fast maneuvering, and in the end didn't even take a hit because of my evading.

Game is well worth the price for the content given, IMHO..

Shit started to give me a ing headache. Took me literally 2 hours just to get into the house. Im not trying to rush through jake's story but im dying to play leon's and espically ada's story asap.

The skill system is ok but I much prefer the weapon upgrades in RE5. It felt way more satisfying to build each weapon up then just put 3 points into the Firearm skill.

A big problem with the dodge dive is that you are not aware it exists unless you stumble on it or happen to catch the loading screen telling you about it. I'd also rather have it be one button or a double tap instead of LT+A. Same with the cover system I talked about before...they both just feel clunky. Anyway, why they didn't include a manual for a game with so much going on is beyond me. It's ok for something like CoD where you basically point and shoot but I think there's way too much going on in RE6 to basically force customers to hit the web or, what I'm sure Capcom hopes, buy the strategy guide.

I will agree that there is a ton of content in the game. Been hearing you tread familiar ground several times though.

I'm glad you guys are posting your opinions on RE6. Now I know to start with Ada's story first. I don't want to start with Jakes,get pissed,then want to trade the game in ASAP.

I heard Leon's is the best so I'm probably going to sacs that for last.

I'm wondering,if I do Ada's story,Then go to Jakes and get pissed half way,can I go to Leon's? Or do I have to complete Jakes fully before I can go to Leon's story?

You can only do Ada's after you've beaten the other 3. You can switch off between the unlocked campaigns though. I played 3 chapters with Leon then started Chris' campaign. Just do chapter select from the menu instead of continue.

I had to take long pauses between Leon's first mission. It's god-awful. All I'll say on that is beware of cars.

His campaign gets much better. There has been only one other moment that I've been super frustrated with the game and I'm about to start the last chapter tomorrow.

Leon's first mission started ok then went downhill after the gun shop. The room after room full of enemies mixed with too many NPCs was just too much. Add in the fat zombie straight out of L4D that takes forever to kill and I was just not having fun. Once the bus came, I ran out of ammo the first time and had to quit the game and restart ALL THE WAY back at the beginning of the gun shop ordeal. Things ramped up way too quickly in my opinion. Since that is almost certainly going to be the first mission everyone plays, I think a little more even pacing would have been better.

Ah that sucks I can't play Ada's first. Nice to know I can switch between the other two though. Thanks for the info.
