So I finally jumped on the BFBC2 bandwagon and picked it up for AU$30 brand new. I put in that VIP code and downloaded that 1.6GB update. I then proceeded to try and play multiplayer with my friends and the games has ask me enter my VIP code... Strange, I thought so I tried to enter it again but received an error saying it had already been used before. I then proceeded to the store to try and re-download my code, but no they expect me to pay for it there.

So yeah basically I've been to download history, I've reentered the code and it still won't let me download all that "free" VIP stuff and therefore I can't play with my friends.. The sole reason I bought this game.
So yeah any ideas? And I guess for discussion value, ever been in any similar situations?

Wow, you got screwed, a similar thing happened to me before with an armour piece for the original Dragon Age, EA support are great, they emailed me another code. Just contact EA's Australian support and they should send you another one if you have proof of purchase.
Good luck xD

Both EA and Capcom seem to be doing their best to piss all their customers off.

Especially Capcom. I love a lot of their games, but bloody hell, the company has a fucking idiot in the PR department.

I'd say that problem is far more widespread than just EA and Capcom... Even Sid Meier's Firaxis is starting to turn into a jackass company.

Care to elaborate?
Well, let's see.

They released 3 versions of Street Fighter 4, despite saying they wouldn't

They released Resident Evil 3DS with one, undeletable save file.

They release DLC characters which are already on the disk.

They're going to release a second version of Marvel vs Capcom 3, with many of the features that should have been in the original, 9 months after release.

There is still no Monster Hunter console title this gen outside Japan (except the one on the wii).

There's just a general aura of not really caring about the customer about them, which is a shame, because they make some of the best games I've ever played.
