New Skate 3 Access Key

I bought my copy of Skate 3 pre-owned and when I used the code that came with it, it stated that the code was invalid. Is there a way that I can get a new one for freebecause I didn't realize that the one I had with my game was already linked to an account. If this is possible, please let me know.

    Why Should He Have To By A New One When It Says That You Get One With The Game?.. It Sounds Like We Are Getting Ripped Of To Me. Surely If He Sent You An Email With The Code And You Checked If It Was Really Valid Or Not You Could Refund Him Because You Are Besically Giving Out False Information If The Player is Not Getting Everything He Has Payed For And Is Being Told To Pay For It Again.

    Hello @brandobrando09

     

    Maybe you misunderstood the way it's working.

     

    If you purchased a brand new copy of the game you don't need to get a new code it is indeed included.

    However, if you got a second hand copy of the game the code could have been used by the previous player, in this situation you can then buy a new  code.

     

    According to the description of your situation here: Skate 3 Share Pack  the copy of your game is new. In this case if the code is not working, we provided here (Available on a sticky) all information about share pack code errors.

     

    I quoted the message so you can resolve this issue:

    1. Where is the code
      The code is located in the insert of your SKATE 3 box copy, you will find a code to activate Skate Share in the game.


    2. Second-hand game copy
      If the copy of your Skate 3 game is not a new one (second-hand copy) and if the code has already been used by the previous owner, the only way to get another code is to purchase one via the in-game store for $9.99 or 800 MS points. More information are available in this blog :"SKATE 3 Questions - Online, Skate Share and Filmer Pack."


    3. Where do I redeem the code
      To avoid any confusion, please make sure that you are en-tering the code in game; in the ingame store accessible from the main menu.
      This is not a code that you can redeem on PS3 Network, Xbox Marketplace.


    4. Error message
      If you are experiencing issues with your code such as "the code is no longer valid" we recommend you to double check the numbers and letters.  As an example the number zero "0" can be confused with the letter "o" or the letter "S" with the number "5". 
      Have a look on your code and please try to see if there is such letter or number like those ones.

    5. If you are experiencing this issue on  Xbox 360, please read this message below:
