Subject: Why is my Sgt. Johnson code "invalid'?

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

I pre-ordered at best buy an hour ago, and when I went to activate my code for Johnson, it said the code was invalid. I tried it over a few times with no luck.

What's up here?

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

Because it's not officially downloadable on XBL. The game hasn't been released, therefore the Johnson add-on hasn't been activated.

because it doesn't do anything yet?

it's not available for download, because it's not useable yet.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Oh, I see. I remember when I pre-ordered Halo Wars, I could download the flaming warthog, and that was two weeks before it came out. I thought it would work like it did for Halo Wars.

So in that case, I'll have to wait till september for the code to be valid?

apparently, best buy gives you an empty case with your preorder bonus immediately. I personally preorder all of my games at gamestop

Better question:

WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE THE DAMN THING?!

The game isn't out yet, and it can't be downloaded yet.

I know one thing: Don't lose it, or come around September 22nd, you won't have Sgt. Johnson. And you will be mad.

  • 07.19.2009 2:07 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Yeah, I got the card, and when I went to activate it, "INVALID"

The reason I want Johnson now? So I won't have to g et himlater. I was just concerned that maybe something happened, and when it was Sept.22nd, it still wouldn't work.

  • 07.19.2009 2:12 PM PDT

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Youre not supposed to get the card yet. Youre supposed to get it when you pick up the game.

  • 07.19.2009 2:13 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Apparently not.
