Not open for further replies.
okay, has this happened to anyone else? I preordered my gow3 from amazon...I received the savage kantus code via email on the 20th, but the game did not even ship until the 20th, and is not expected to arrive until the 24th !!! SUX !! May be the last time I preorder from Amazon...
 
I got my copy of gears 3 yesterday at 5pm... via UPS signature requited

Can't complain but it suck for those that didn't get it....I live in massachusetts and the guy that does my route always shows up around 4pm or later the truck is from rhode island about 40 miles away from my house... yesterday must have been a busy day for all UPS drivers
 
Kiddies trying to sell their Savage Kantus on Ebay with late listings.#-o I sold mine for $30, stating the code will be emailed whenever I get the game.

Amazon credit for $20....= $10 for GOW 3 all said and done. :lol:
 
[quote name='tightclaws']I sold 1 on ebay for $20 - the 2.62 ebay and pp fees I got 17.38 in my PP account, not too shabby.[/QUOTE]

I sold my Mechanic Baird skin on ebay for $19.99... but my fees are higher than yours... $0.50 to list, 13% final value fee and paypal all added up to $3.98. How did you pay more than a $1 less (I did a Buy It Now listing).

EDIT - Yea, I guess its the difference between fixed bid (BIN) and auction listings! No insertion fee and lower final value % (9%).

yeah but you had to pay $40 first, then post it on ebay minus the ebay fees and fees+paypal fees..so yeah..uuuuh yea >$10 lmaozzzzzz :applause:
 
I still haven't got my mechanic Baird code yet. I emailed them yesterday morning and still nothing. I'm gonna call BB when I get back from school.
 
Got my standard edition from Amazon yesterday at 10:46 am.

I got the DLC code a few hours after that, and the 20 dollar credit later that night.

:3
 
So I wonder if it would make sense to wait a while and then put my Savage Kantus code up for auction. Right now there's a ton of them because of everybody getting the game. I'm thinking I should wait it out.

The game is dumb, but fun. Definitely a hoot playing the campaign 4 player coop with friends.
 
[quote name='merchie89']I was pretty stoked when I got $40 for my Savage code a few weeks ago, listed and bought within about 4 minutes[/QUOTE]

:lol: Why don't they just GIVE you the game for $4.26!?!?!

$60 - (($20 credit + ($40 ebay - ($2.80 ebay fee + $1.46 paypal fee))))

Oh my bad lol. So I paid around $15.
What happens if I were to get $40 in amazon credit?

Is amazon trying to GIVE me $25?! :lol:
 
I don't know if anyone has posted this but I was at Meijer today and happen to see in their ad if you buy Gears 3 you can get Fable 3 for $5 pretty good deal but I already bought mine at Best Buy (you know the place that doesn't email your effn code).
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']I got one of each at midnight and a free coke zero :cool:[/QUOTE]

I got all that plus the T-Shirt....


Still no Mechanic Baird code though.... sigh, Best Buy
 
To all those suffering from Mechanic Baird deprivation syndrome, you can give best buy a call at their main #, get transferred to a games specialist, tell them your story and they'll give you the code over the phone. Just try and call from the number listed on your reward zone account to avoid confusion. Got mine last night after a more than healthy wait on the phone.

You mean the number that takes me to Best Buy Canada? :lol: Real classy BB.
Thanks for the advice though.
At this point, I'm considering just taking my business elsewhere and letting this company of asshats rot so I can shop their GOoB sale in 2 years.
 
Well I am a little disappointed but a lesson learned. I was able to get $10 for my Savage Kantus DLC this morning. I set up a 24 hour auction yesterday but I should have done a buy it now while things were hot. Well I will know better for next time to sell before getting the code and to never buy DLC before a game gets released. $10 is still a lot for a piece of digital property (especially just a skin) but those that paid $25-$40 were just crazy.
 
Sell before you have the game... unless you don't actually end up getting the code on time. :) I'm just going to a wait a bit and then try selling my Kantus code. There's a glut of the things right now due to everyone and their brother trying to sell at the same time. I sure don't care about it, so if I get $10, I'll be happy. Better then putting the thing on my character and looking at it.
 
Forgive me if I didn't see it, but does anyone know if walmart ended up shipping the bundle they had with the headset for cheap or did they wise up and cancel all orders?

I posted it in the BB 5/$100 pre-order thread, but if you haven't yet I would post in this thread on the BB forums about your missing Baird code:

After they gave me the run around for weeks via email on my missing Madden 12 code I posted there and they PM'd me both my Baird and Madden codes yesterday.

Thanks for the link! Just posted! Hopefully it'll help. :)

Ditto.

Same with my code from Wal-Mart... Have many people gotten the Savage Grenadier Elite code yet?

Mine was a cardboard insert that they packaged with the game (not inside the shrink wrapped game but in a sealed baggie outside of it ala gamestop gutted copies)

same here. funny thing is I went to return the game(sealed) they gave me $60 for it bc on the shrink wrap is the upc that they use for shipping the game! mine was a 60####### so when they scan just the game(sealed) for return they had to give me what it was selling for.

Oh, well, my copy went missing somewhere between Wal-Mart, FedEx, and my front porch... FedEx says it was delivered by way of leaving it on my front porch when I was home at the time of the delivery and no doorbell/knocking on door was used. (and I don't live in a place where stuff goes missing on the front porch so I'm thinking FedEx screwed the pooch.)

The above is being resent (free) to me... but *sigh* I guess I better call back about the DLC code...

Thank you!

[quote name='Numero5ive']remarkable video game.. ne one looking to swap codes? i got a kantus and im looking for Com. Dom.[/QUOTE]

If you still have the kantus code pm me and I can send you my commando dom
 
Heads up. If anyone ordered a copy of GOW 3 for a code or whatever. Amazon has listed the trade in-Value @ $40.50 So if you did walmart bundle (game & controller) or Amazon you will just about break even. I don't know what people payed for taxes & S&H
 
Does anyone know if this has alternative audio or subtitle options (french or spanish)? I can't tell from the packaging (their is no mention).

Thanks so much
 
Does the adam fenix multi character code go for anything on ebay? Got the limited ed. Mostly wanted the physical extras.
 
[quote name='sasuke543']Kind of off-topic but regarding the Gears of War 3 Controller, will amazon have it in stock again or was it limited?[/QUOTE]
It's limited...to the amount they can sell.;)
My guess is there will be more.

Exactly^
 
[quote name='Brother Daz']any word on the price?[/QUOTE]

$14.99 on the Gamestop website. However, they are showing the wrong figure and description currently.
 
Looks like Amazon has updated their Bonus Offer on the main page for all editions of Gears. They have REMOVED the Savage Kantus bonus. Gamestop has also stopped offering Commando Dom.

Couple that with the all the weapon skins that Epic/MS have been pimping, and a pre-order DLC character pack is almost definitely gonna come out at some point. Sell your DLC while you still can!
 
No one with an Aaron Griffen code? I don't have a Facebook acct. so if someone could do that for me I would greatly appreciate it! God will give you an extra jewel for your crown in heaven. Thank You!!!

I got a few extra I will send you one when I am on my laptop this evening.

Also I have Commando Dom I want to trade for Mechanic Baird. PM me if you are willing to trade. I can also throw in a Griffin Code also. That's Commando Dom and Griffin for Mechanic Baird. Thanks.
 
[quote name='Danil ACE']I have a Savage Kantus code. Willing to trade for any COG character.[/QUOTE]
werd lets do it-- I got dom
 
[quote name='aznhero913']This sucks!!!

I dont have any DLC's....

I pre-ordered from BB and didn't get squat![/QUOTE]

Neither did I and I've been on hold over 30 minutes already and they are competing with EA for the worst customer disservice award. I shouldn't have to register in their forums and wait from someone to possibly get back to me for who knows how much longer to get a code I should have on DAY 1. This may mark the end of me getting another pre-order from them ever again. Amazon sends their e-mail usually very promptly, Gamestop prints codes on receipt, and other retailers have them packed in. Seriously how Fraking hard is it to follow a proper working business model, and hearing previous pre-order bonus issues from others they wil never get it the frak together.
