Yay!

I once bought Gears of War (judgemend was it I think) on 360 that came with 400 MSPoints.

The codes were expired but you could not see this until you opened the box which obviously happens after purchase.

MS does not care.Said  I should return it to the shop where I bought it. The shop said "its a MICROSOFT GAMES studio and its 360 game go ask microsoft for the 400 MSPoints."

MS wants me to go to the shop again and does not want to help me.

Yay for incompetence!

So the code didn't work?

A few years ago I ordered a Xbox Gold Membership on ebay, it was expired but still worked.

Tried to type in the code with my xbox and via website  both didnt work gave me some error codes I cant remember.

Called the support they also tried the code and the conclusion was "its expired we deactivated the codes".

I can somewhat understand the shop not wanting to help me because their argument is "we have no proof whether or not the code worked so you could have bought the game used the code and now want to return the game so you basically got a code for free" (even tho it says Expires XX/XX/2013)

But MS not wanting to help me is pretty shitty.
