Help | Cannot locate on-disc DLC | Mafia II

[Sir-Syzygy]

Recently, I purchased the platinum version of Mafia II (2010). I will have inserted a photo of this version of the game below for clarification purposes.

I already owned this game prior to buying the platinum version, but decided to the platinum version regardless because it's supposed to have all the DLC already on the disc. However, I can't seem to find any of it in the menus of the game. At first, I wondered if maybe I had the wrong version, but I pulled out the included instruction manual which read "NOTE: Add-On Content is only packed into the Platinum version of Mafia II" and "All of the add on packs are contained within the Blu-ray game disk. You will see the available add on content in the menu screen." which tells me that the DLC is definitely supposed to be already included on the disc, and yet I still cannot find any of it.

I would greatly appreciate anyone who could help me locate the DLC, or at least clarify what has been misunderstood (if anything)  

 

Below you will find a photo of the game case, referenced manual section and disc respectively; please do let me know if any of you can identify any problems within these photos that could help me solve this:

there should of been a code slip for the DLC i think. Xbox had a separate disc for the DLC. if it's not on the disc something is off ><.

edit: try fiddling around on the main menu.

there should be a add-on disc within your case? any chance this was used. i wish i could help further but i need my sleep for today.

There was only the one disc in the case. Anyway, the case only has room for one disc to be held, so I don't believe it would even be possible for a second disc to be within the case. Based on the research I did prior to my purchase, I believe only the Xbox version required a second disc, while the Ps3 version had it all on the one disc (supposedly).

That looks like the disc for the regular game. I'm guessing you bought it preowned and the discs were swapped out at some point.

Does the disc BLES code matched the case's BLES code? 

 

The disc in your picture looks like the regular version, your seller must've swapped them. 

 

I have The Greatest Hits version and disc is "stamped" with "Greatest Hits" logo.

@mekktor Definitely seems that way. I'll probably return the game tomorrow, as I already own the base game. Hopefully, I can find a platinum/greatest hits version of the game elsewhere.

@pokwey I appreciate your confirmation of the fact the disc is meant to look different. I tried to establish whether the disc was meant to look different or not prior to my purchase, during my research, but I couldn't find any photographs online. You've been very helpful, thank you.

In general if there is new content on the disc then it would require the discs to be freshed printed so they would usually say something about it on the disc. I think I've come across just one game where the disc wasn't changed. Also, being the platinum version you would expect that to be on the disc as well.

 

When I did these DLCs, I just found a copy at my local EB games, asked them to check that the disc matched (because both versions are the same game in their system), and then returned the game within 2 weeks for the full refund. Easy as that.

As others have said the disc looks like the standard edition and not the one that belongs to that case, hopefully you'll be able to get it sorted out.

You have the wrong disc, ps3 platinum discs have a gray border and a yellow sticker that says platinum like So

on the plus side it will save you having to drive 1000 miles in Jimmys Vendetta

 

One of the best games of all time but the dlc really didn't do it for me

 

Hope you resolve the issue with the seller mate

Damn i was actually thinking about buying this disk version to get the 100% on this game

[GUDGER666]

I recently got mine off Amazon cheap. The Essentials version also has the DLC on Disc.

Here is a picture from EU 'Essentials' copy of the game which includes all DLCs;

Good luck with the seller! Still have yet to play the DLC myself but the base game is great.

They sold you a wrong version (keeping the complete one and putting inside the base game version).

 

This is my version

Same thing happened to me. I was gonna play the game but realized there was no dlc. Gonna get a refund

[HaserPL]

Same thing happened to me today, but I bought it used through something like Craiglist, so there is no way to make them give me back my money. I was cheated.

[SKyZoX9]

I suggest you to get that on amazon or ebay, they are online shops who makes it a living to sell you the right copy thqts how i got it.
