Hi David, I received my promo code, thanks. I can't see a game on demand option though at the store. It doesn't work with the physical box option either.

When I place the promo code in the field on the ordering page and I update it the price still remains at the full price. How do I get this to work?

Same problem Dave. Got the code just fine..., but there doesn't seem to be any way of using it in the order field to bring up the "offer" you are making. Would you do a "step-by-step" for this? Right now it looks like we'll be charged $67.00 even with the "promo code".

Hi Guys
 
I am looking into this now....

It worked for me

Me too.  You have to actually go to the online store to place your order.  The screen that comes up when you click on "Click Here for a quick guide on using your Special Offer Promo Code" looks like you can use your promo code there, but you can't.  There's a link to the Matrix online store at the top of this screen.  Use that link and go to the actual online store and place your order using the promo code that you requested (and received).

OK. Went to the store and tried from there..., but after I enter the "promo code" I'm still seeing a price for the order of $66.79. What am I "not doing" or "screwing up"? Any help will be appreciated.

Mike-

Did you click the "apply" button?

Hooray!!!!![&o]

Did you click the "apply" button?

Yes..., I did.

I'm having the same problem. I did click "Apply" - the screen refreshes and then still shows the full price.

I guess this will be live tomorrow.

Entered my serial number and info and then got a "unable to load page" error message. Re-tried it again and now I get an "Invalid order number. Please try again." message.

Sent off an email to the support people but hope I don't get lost in the Christmas rush. [:(]

worked at US store for me just now , good luck all..

David,
Thanks for this offer.
One question: I ordered the digital download and the backup disk for $9.99
Do I now need to order the Game on Demand in order to get the printed manual?
I will pay the extra as I think it is worth it, but don't want to order 2 copies.
Thanks,

Finally worked for me too. Thanks Dave.

Dave: I think I got the promo to work but being in Canada the shipping charges are $17.95 via UPS which doesn't make any sense. You can send the manual through the regular mail for a fraction of that. This offer makes the shipping nearly twice the cost of the manual itself. Why doesn't Matrix use the US Mail?

Another reason Matrix should use US mail for international shipments is the exporbitent add on costs that UPS charges sometimes for foreign recipients. They add on a "brokerage fee" which is sometimes as high as $25 and there is nothing you can do about it. So in this case with the brokerage fee (if charged) getting the manual could cost $62 more than the original cost of the game!
