PSN won't accept my preorder voucher?

Post » Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:07 am

I am having issues getting PSN to accept my preorder voucher code for the classic pack. I just picked up my copy from GameStop.

After entering the code, it says:
"The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid.

Please check your entries."

I have entered it more than once now, making sure I get it 100% correct.

Is there a time period I have to wait or something? Is it possible someone somehow used the code I have?

Please help, and thanks in advance.

It happened to me as well earlier today with the Caravan Pack. I was assuming it was because it wasn't October 19th yet. Another 20 minutes and I'll try again.

You need to contact whomever you got your preorder from and let them sort it out with Bethesda or whomever they need to. At least that is how I would go about it. I'd let PSN know as well first.

Happening to me as well. Probably tied to the pacific time release. Pretty [censored]. Already screwed us over with dlc.

It's happening to everyone. It's lame and irritating because it would be very useful to have these items at the start of a hardcoe game. Guess I'm waiting till tomorrow to start playing.

Yeah, for anyone who's gotten their pre-order already, it'd be best wait till tomorrow to try and activate the pre-order code. Hopefully those who've already used it can still redeem the code tomorrow if it's just a time release situation.

Oh, and small question for you guys who pre-ordered, did the code indeed come inside the games case?

I don't know about you, and I know these pre-order weapons are "unique", but in Goodsprings alone I had my hotkeys already filled with weapons and simpaks and I haven't finished searching the town yet.

Edit: The code came inside the case.

I imagine if everyone is having the problem, it is related to the release time.

Exactly, PSN probably won't update for awhile so might as well sit back and wait.

very disappointing. Question now with this activation problem is: to play or not to play?

This is pretty ridiculous...Im actually a supervisor at gamestop and just finished the midnight release just to rush home to enter my codes and begin my all night fall out session just to get here to find out that the codes dont work because it might be on a pst time release. come on bethesda, you all gotta do a lil better than that. you already knew that quite a bit of players was picking up this fantastic game at midnight. especially on the eastern seaboard. so why not make the code accessible like they needed to be and already had it arranged with the perspective manufacturers to have this aspect takin care of. now we get penalized for not being in a certain time zone??! by the time the codes are useable, we will have no purpose or reason to use them! makes no sense. and its half the reasons of how I helped my guest preorder this game giving them the heads up about the pre-order bonus that they get to use and we cant even recieve the benefits immediatley. thats pretty bass ackwards dont you think? zenimax/bethesda. IMO, you all kinda dropped the ball on this one, because this really isnt cool in the least....

Wow. I do not understand why they weren't active in the box. Bethesda could have activated them in last weeks update. What harm would there have been?

Now we essentially have to wait until Wednesday (depending on your location) to get the items.

just got off the phone with gamesas and they said psn should be updating with in the next 15 mins, and if not they are going to shoot this up the chain to a high power from what they told me, I stayed up till 1200 to get my damn game to wake up at 7 and start playing WTF. i could have waited till game stop opened up at 1000 eastern time and saved myself the trouble and lines and sleep way to fail. but i will see if it works in the next 15 mins
