Gears of War 4 coming free with Nvidia 1070 & 1080s through Oct 30

So this was amazon's CS response

It better be some kind of joke.,.....as they are directing me to a site that sells medical equipment









Hello,

I understand your concern about the code you was supposed to receive after purchasing the "Nvidia GTX 1070".

Upon checking the order details I see that there is no current promotion that is running hence Manufacturers Customer Service department is in the best position to help you.

However to help you with this regard, I searched manufacturer website for you and found the information that you inquired about--I hope it's what you're looking for:

Website: http://www.adamequipment.com/am
Phone number: 203-790-4774
E-mail address: sales@adamequipment.com

The manufacturer may require a proof of purchase, such as an invoice, before they'll send you a replacement. You can view and print an invoice for your order from this link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/print.html?orderID=109-9296030-8233859

I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. It is our privilege to have you as our valued customer and we want to make sure you are always taken care of.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best regards,
Harshad K
Thank you.

Spoke to Nvdia, and they claimed that only certain retailers offer a code with pre-built desktops with a 1070. Which is why Micro Center had no idea about the promotion.

That kinda sucks.
 
Ive got an Amazon code and it's making me sad that you are all having as much trouble as I am. Hopefully they fix this soon because where I live my internet speed is 3mbps so it's gonna literally take days for me to download this game.
 
How exactly do you preload this on the xbox one? Ive downloaded the 100mb game app, that says "preordered" but when I click it, it says something like "please wait, this isnt released yet".

Uninstall the placeholder file, then go into your Ready to Install list and the full preload will be available to install.
 
I picked up a GTX1070 today and received a key to be redeemed via https://redeem.geforce.com/

The key was issued today, it's accepted on that Nvidia's page, I stopped before tying it to a Microsoft account.

Guess I'm okay? Now to find someone who actually wants that game. I'm not really interest.

EDIT: sorry, this wasn't meant to turn this post into an offer, there are other threads for this
 
Amazon.fr just shipped my EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, and a minute later I the also sent me and email with the redemption key for Gears of Wars 4. Will try to redeem it..

EDIT: yes, apparently it works :D

He means codes that didnt come from the Amazon glitch. Nvidia downright temporarily disabled codes from everywhere. They'll have to enable those again eventually.

Keys from other retailers are working fine on the Nvidia site.

Apparently only the amazon ones now don't activate on the promotion site.
 
Tried my luck with MS Support on upgrading to the Ultimate Edition. Short answer. No.

Hello Chad.

Jeffrey L
Good morning Chad.
9:34 am

Me
I am not sure if it is possible to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition of Gears of War 4
9:35 am

Jeffrey L
I can see here in your query that you wanted to upgrade your Gears of War 4 to the Ultimate Edition. Purchased a GTX 1070 graphics card and got Gears 4 for free is that correct?
9:35 am

Me
That is correct.
9:36 am

Jeffrey L
Just to clarify Chad, did you purchased Gears of war 4 to us?
9:36 am

Me
I did not purchase it from the Xbox Store, I received the game for free from an NVidia promotion.
9:37 am

Jeffrey L
Then you wanted it to upgrade to Ultimate edition is that correct?
9:38 am

Me
yes sir.
9:39 am

Jeffrey L
Thanks for clarifying this matter to me Chad. Currently we do not have an option to upgrade this matter Chad since you received the game as a code. I hope you understand Chad.
9:40 am

Jeffrey L
I hope I didn't lose you yet. Are we still connected?<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
9:42 am

Me
I will accept your offer to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition for free.
9:43 am

Jeffrey L
May I know where did you get this offer Chad?
9:43 am

Me
From all of my years of being a dedicated xbox live subscriber.
9:44 am

Me
I figured I earned it ;)
9:45 am

Jeffrey L
I totally understand you Chad. If we only have the option, I already upgrade this for you specialist considering that you are one of our loyal customer Chad. However, currently we do not have upgrade option for the codes.
9:45 am

Jeffrey L
What do you mean Chad. Can you please share it to me?
9:45 am

Me
Is your name really Jeffrey.
9:45 am

Jeffrey L
Yes indeed Chad.
9:46 am

Me
I thought it was a simple click to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition as a show of good faith for my loyal support to the Microsoft brand.
9:46 am

Jeffrey L
I am actually with you Chad. If we only have this option, why I am not giving it to you being one of our loyal customer but how can I offer this if this option is not available even from us.
9:47 am

Me
A friend of mine got a free code from Microsoft for Doritos Crash Course because he was a loyal customer.
9:48 am

Me
Is it not possible to generate a one time code for the deluxe edition of Gears of War 4?
9:48 am

Jeffrey L
That maybe came from the promotion team Chad. And generating a code for ultimate edition Chad is not available even from us.
9:49 am

Me
I wish to speak with your manager, put Phil on.
9:50 am

Jeffrey L
Not a problem Chad. One moment please.
9:50 am

Jeffrey L
Please be informed that we do not have a manage name Phil on our site. Also even I have connected you to my manager they might tell you the same thing as we really don't have this upgrade option that you are referring to us.
9:53 am

Me
I have to go now.
9:53 am

Jeffrey L
I understand how you really wanted to get the ultimate edition Chad. Being a gamer I really wanted you to have this as well. If I can only give this thing to you, I already did it Chad as I really know that a gamer can make their life happy when they are playing the game specially for their favorite game.
9:54 am

Jeffrey L
If I only have a magic button for you Chad, I already press it just to sorted this matter for you. However the option that you are asking is currently not yet available for us to do this thing.
9:55 am

Jeffrey L
I am hoping for you kind understanding on this matter that we currently do not have this option for our customers Chad.

So what's the status on the codes bought from Amazon before they fixed their shit? My Microsoft account still shows that I own GoW 4, but I'm worried that will change before launch?

Gross.
 
Anyone else who preloaded on Xbox One have the game show up as 104mb but the actual game fully downloaded and when attempting to copy it says it needs the full 54GB?

Dude should have banned your account so we could all point and laugh. Not permanently, but for a few days. Kind of like screaming at your parents for not buying some toy you want and you sit in your room to cool down.

Yea, everyone has. It's a bug. I've downloaded it twice to make sure it downloaded the full 54GB. It's there. We shall definitely see come launch. Smh.
-----------------------------

Wondering if we'll see cheap keys for Forza because of it's deal with ASUS gaming laptops I saw today. Interesting. Amazon better have fixed their ish this time. LOL.
 
Holy hell put your pitch forks down guys. I figured it wouldn't work so as soon as I got that out of the way I figured I'd just mess with the guy a bit. Figured the Crash Course bit would have been a dead giveaway. BTW, I don't think it's an insane request to be able to upgrade digital versions of games.

They don't magically have those options and certain company policies may have gotten the guy fired if he had done that. Don't put that on the CSR.

Actually? Yes. They can't do that, I don't know who you think you're talking to, but it'd just a customer rep. They don't have access to just print codes, give out credit, and do things like that. You acted like a jerk to the person after that. I get that it was funny to you, and the exchange is a little funny, but it's still really rude.

But they do.

And chill guys, wasn't intended to be mean spirited and I'm sure I didn't ruin Jeffrey's day.

Major fixes out to the Windows Store to address download issues related to updates and preloads.

Get the latest update from available now in Windows Update. You'll know if you have the update by seeing 14393.222 if you do start-->winver
 
So I got a code from Amazon during the free code bonanza and registered it, then got a code from the place where I bought my 1070 two weeks ago. I've been holding on to the second code in order to sell it on ebay, but I see now that Nvidia has taken down the website?

Any chance it will come back up, or should I contact them?
