Second hand bfbc2 question

[imprezaworks]

I missed playing it so i bought a used copy through ebay which has just turned up. Anyway in the case there is a vip code, can i use that or do i have to buy one? I used to have the game a while back but sold it. Will the xbox read the disc as a new game or do you think the code from ages ago will work? Cheers guys

If they have used the code online then you can't use it again. Your original code may work and if it's stored as one of your games on the xbox it may not even ask for the code.

Cheers andy. And the code that would have been used last time with the previous copy, that won't be compatible to the new copy?

Don't think it makes an issue Dan. I once (many years ago) aquired a copy of a game and went to Tesco and got the code off a game there. It ran no issues. I dare say the person who purchased that game wasn't best pleased.

Lol, probably not. So in a word I need to obtain a code

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Have you put the game in the xbox and seen what happens? If it says it needs a code try it, if it says code invalid then you need a new code.

Should have said, in work mate. Was just curious that was all

From what i've just read for i should be fine with not needing a new code with this used game. Aparantly the origional code will still work as its linked to my gamertag/xbox. Good to know.

Didn't i say that in my first reply lol.

Oh yeah lol. Multi tasking has never been my strong point

I'd just buy the Ultimate Edition again - no issues then!
