I was wondering why my "new" copy of Civ Rev that I bought last week had been opened and rewrapped. Sons o' bitches!!! Gamestop opened my game, took out the code, and then rewrapped it and sold it as new! That is f'd up!

"Bought at Gamestop" self-explanatory.

Hmm. Maybe I didn't look very hard through the paper in my box. I bought mine online through Barnes & Noble (I had gift cards - wouldn't normally buy games through them).

Are these one-use codes, or are they generic ones that I can just google and get all of them?

they're one-use codes that came on a little square piece of paper tucked behind the manual. Since Barnes & Noble isn't Best Buy, Gamestop, or Target; which seem to be the only stores that did the pack-in promo, that's probably why you didn't get one.

Ah - I meant to mention that games bought through Barnes & Noble online are provided through Gamestop, so I ought to have got one.

I don't think I checked though all the jazz that came in the box though - with any luck, I'll have a code...

Excellent, hopefully you'll have one then! I don't think gamestop.com has the same bad habit of opening games and then selling them as new as their brick & mortars do...

Can we buy the packs we didn't get codes for? Or are these a super-limited promo only thing?

Haven't picked up my copy yet, but since I have a $10 off $75 at Best Buy, I'm leaning towards there.

WTF?!? I bought my copy in Best Buy here in California and there was NO code, just the manual, the game, and nothing to differentiate it from any other game bought ever.

Just contacted 2K support. The redemption code was only with the initial launch. If you missed out on those your sh*t out of luck.

They also said that if you had a code in your game it would be indicated by a big sticker on the box.

Interesting side note, I did not know that 2K support was based in Australia either.
