I entered this without reading the details closely enough and won a copy of Darksiders 1, thinking it had said the 10,000 winners will get Darksiders 2. Already have Darksiders 1. Offering to freinds + family first, but if I can't find someone I know who wants it by end of the day tomorrow first to message me gets the code.

Edit: alright, code is "pre" claimed :)

This.

I'd love that laptop bag.
 
Anyone that won get yours to download? After I input the code on that gamestop link or in the gamestop pc downloader I get "There was a problem adding redeemed product to the game library." after about 3 minutes of nothing.

Someone told me that support told them to wait a day apparently.

I got a code and entered it in the gamestop and it went through.

Also you can use the product code of Darksiders and enter it in steam FYI.

Interesting, it hasn't worked for me and my friend.
 
[quote name='Double O Slevin']Yeah, I won a PC copy of Darksiders as well. Hope that's not the all I win.[/QUOTE]

ditto.

I clicked on Darksiders Product Key in the My Games area in the Gamestop App it showed a full lengh code that looks like It could be entered into steam. I tried it and it worked.
 
Won a copy of Darksiders, thanks for sharing the link!

To the above posters having problems, I was having issues earlier as well, but I just tried again and redeemed it without any problems. Afterward, I took my CD-Key to Steam and added it there too.

Thanks again!
 
[quote name='Devil May Cry']I entered but received no email or notification saying whether I won or not. Is this normal?[/QUOTE]


I don't remember if I got a confirmation email the first time I entered. No notifications on subsequent entries, though. The Darksiders keys seem to be a daily drawing, so if you haven't won I guess you just have to keep up with the daily entries and cross your fingers.

[quote name='Healow']Can someone give me key because i didn't entered on time.[/QUOTE]


It doesn't end until the 27th, so just keep trying once per day.

Yeah, I figured it was like that after seeing some of the other posts. Oh well, I'll just have to keep an eye on my email.
 
Hmm... I just looked at the rules again and it seems they've changed the end date from the 27th to the 13th. :/

That's a bummer =/

Has anyone had any issues getting the site to load in Chrome? I'm forced to use Firefox to enter this, Chrome won't load the entry button.

Used chrome and it worked. Try disabling your adblocking software. I had to turn mine off because the first time I went there it was blank.

That's probably it, I'll try that tomorrow when I enter again. Still no email for either of my entries, hoping I get at least a reply back soon, the suspense is killing me! ;)
 
I won a key. But had a little trouble getting it to redeem. Finally got it to do so yesterday. Since then, I've gotten like 8 emails saying that I'm going to be billed $99.99 for the entry. :(

I guess technically they can't bill me as they don't have any payment information. But still, it makes me wonder...

I know. I would have cried. My bank account is lucky to ever have more than $5 in it at a time. xD So to imagine the overdraft fees... :whistle2:#
 
Just a bug in the way their system generates invoices, I guess. I doubt it would actually charge anything if there was a card on file...well, I would hope not at any rate.
