Dreakon139 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just bought the game new (thankfully for only $20) and I've opened the case up to find that there was no code for the skate.share DLC. It was to my knowledge that new copies specifically came with that to discourage people from buying used... as typically is the case with games and online passes these days. I read a little closer and it says the Serial Code expires May 11, 2011... so I guess I should've read the really fine print on the back of the case, but still. Kind of sucks, that's the whole reason I didn't buy the game used and now I can't platinum the game until I spend another $10 on this stupid DLC. Am I missing something or did EA just swipe a few extra bucks from me buying this new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ille1234 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just checked my brothers case (He bought it on release) and the code was indeed in there. I don't know anything about the newer copies not having the codes but i can confirm that the old ones do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of sucks, that's the whole reason I didn't buy the game used It kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it. Yes, you bought the game new, but maybe not "new" enough.....like $60 new. Sounds to me as if they have the dates figured out to about the time they know a game will drop in price, and therefore the supposedly "free" DLC no longer applies. IMHO, if the game was purchased new, regardless if it was for $20 or $60, the code offered should be valid with no experation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It's only 6.99. Makes me wonder if my code expired or if it was just used and the dick who traded it in left the little paper in the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 It's only 6.99. The Skate Share DLC is 9.99, I think. I was hoping I wouldn't need to spend more than $25-30 on this game but I do want that platinum someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Shit. I had it confused with Skate.Create. Didn't see that the share pass isn't on the PSN store. Fuck it. Not even worth it just to get a couple trophies. I'd rather spend my money on the other DLC. (Unless anyone is down for splitting the cost and gamesharing all of it, but I don't know whether or not gamesharing is frowned upon here or even against the rules.)

Dreakon139 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 No kidding. Honestly though, I loved playing other users parks in Tony Hawk 3 on the PC back in the day. Maybe I could get into this (and make myself eligible for the platinum in the process). I didn't want to spend that much on this, but it's my game now... might as well get the most out of it. (Unless anyone is down for splitting the cost and gamesharing all of it, but I don't know whether or not gamesharing is frowned upon here or even against the rules.) I'm guessing it most likely is frowned upon. I'm not sure how you'd split the cost of DLC anyways lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Same as any DLC, really. You just make a seperate account and activate it onto 5 PS3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, I mean splitting up the cost though. Unless one person buys it and everyone else sends him a few bucks via PayPal or something.

TehCro Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yeah. That is how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I got it used with the intention of buying the DLC, lucky to my knowledge that the Code had already expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
