usernam569 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Maybe this already exists and I just couldn't find it in the search function but I was thinking it might be a good idea to start some sort of list where people can check if those little DLC code, online passes, etc. inserts are still valid. Seems as though many of these (even without expiry dates) differ based on region. EG. the Rock Band AC/DC track pack still works in NA as of 2024 but UK codes are reportedly no longer valid. I've started with PS3 titles only so it might be better to create individual threads per console (mods please advise). I'll also break them up by regions that can be expanded as we go along as I suspect this will be quite a long list. I've heard Sony places a hard limit on how long codes can be valid for but I'm not sure how true that is as some 'no expiry' codes have become invalid while other, significantly older codes will still redeem without issue. EG. 'Country Track Pack 2' was released in 2011 but has expired while 'Track Pack 2' is still valid as of 2024 despite releasing in 2008. As far as I can tell they come in about 3 different forms: Code, including an expiry date Code, no expiry date Code for external website [North America] PS3 Spoiler Battlefield 3 - Premium code: No expiry but doesn't work Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition - Variety Map Pack: expired Diablo 3 - infernal helm: Still valid as of 2024 DiRT 3 - Online Pass: No expiry but doesn't work God of War Saga - Origins Collection: expired Rock Band - export code: expired Rock Band 2 - export code: expired Rock Band 3 - export code: expired Rock Band Song Packs AC/DC Live - export code: still valid as of 2024 Vol. 2 - export code: still valid as of 2024 Metal - export code: expired Classic Rock - export code: expired Country - export code: expired Country Vol. 2 - export code: expired PS4 Spoiler The Division - cosmetic items: Still works as of 2024 The Division 2 - cosmetic items: Still valid as of 2024 PS5 Spoiler Vita Spoiler [Europe] PS4 Spoiler PS5 Spoiler Vita Spoiler [Asia] PS4 Spoiler PS5 Spoiler Vita Spoiler Edited May 9 by usernam569 Added more items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 So I know you mentioned this is mainly PS3, but I just ran into this with PS4 games. I just bought physical copies of The Division 1 and 2. Both of which came with unused codes for outfits and a gun you could use right away. But with the first game, it said the code expired in 2021...but I tried it anyways and was able to redeem it just fine. I'm in the US, so it was an NA copy. Division 2 code says it lasts until 2099, so that should still be good for everyone...but for anyone wanting to get the first game, the code might still work regardless of expiry date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added, I'm only really concerned with how large the posts can get since I'm not sure if psnprofiles has a character limit. Also I'm not sure if only I can edit these or if the mods can edit them if I'm away for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
