I tried the code I got from the site, but it says that it's either not correct or no longer valid. Couldn't get a different code from the site either.
Marius @ Sep 26th 2009 9:59PM
yeah me too, I have 3 different internet browser, and I got three different codes and none work, one got me through but then there was an error, so I got none :(
johnnynumber5 @ Sep 26th 2009 10:05PM
same here!
Shadow_Modder @ Sep 26th 2009 10:08PM
Alright, I tried another web browser and got a different code. This one did work though, and I just downloaded the pack. I haven't played LBP in a long time though, I usually just get all the free costumes and packs anyways. Heh...
These were my codes, if they work for anyone:
PFJD-5BBN-DIK7
AFGR-6DB9-XRE4
Solace @ Sep 26th 2009 10:09PM
I got a code 15 minutes after is was originally posted on the PS blog but I've read to just keep trying, also offer only open to NORTH AMERICAN PSN users.
prabhjit @ Sep 26th 2009 10:36PM
that code only works with us account and i have downloaded the code and installed it and still cant find those contents in the game
den-69 @ Sep 27th 2009 12:37AM
Like the play.com Uncharted 2 Beta codes were just for the EU right?..
Fane [A-MF Brigade] @ Sep 27th 2009 5:27AM
FWIW my code worked.
CzAr @ Sep 27th 2009 5:54AM
If you have issues with your code, please clear your cache and load the site again. You will be given a new code. It may take a couple times, but you will get your DLC.
dan.soucy @ Sep 27th 2009 11:06AM
Hey me too the first code didnt work but i went out of the enternet explorer and came back to ps3 fanboy and tried it agian and the 2nd time it worked no problem try it dude

I had the same problems when redeeming the codes in web browsers. But what worked for me was redeeming the code with my PSP instead. Just render a new code log in to your account management on your PSP (if you have one). Instantly worked for me.
Imran @ Sep 28th 2009 9:31AM
First code didn't work on ps3 or on computer and I tried it about 5 times. Generated a new code in another browser and immediately entered it into redeem code via my computer and it worked first time. I think that you have to do it quickly as they may give the same code to multiple users since you can redeem most codes up to 3 times. Just a thought.
Licker @ Sep 26th 2009 9:59PM
Sweet sassy molassey!
digitalfxstudios @ Sep 26th 2009 10:10PM
Yeah, took me 3 tries to get a working code. If one didn't work I just cleared my cookies/cache and got a new one. Seems pretty shady on Sony's part.
squallgengar @ Sep 27th 2009 1:53AM
Clearing the cookies cache out totally worked for me. Thanks for the tip!
Richards | PSN: F4WMR @ Sep 26th 2009 10:20PM
Took me one try and it came within a minute. Although I found out about this almost an hour ago, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
Btw, this is a great way to get people playing LBP again. I know multiple stages are created daily, but sometimes you need to be given a reason, hopefully the creators start rlsing more official stages as dlc or something. No knock on the creations out there, many have blown my mind.
Marius @ Sep 26th 2009 10:22PM
fourth one is the charm

serge808 @ Sep 26th 2009 11:34PM
Got mine!!! WOOOT!!!
manson_family07 @ Sep 26th 2009 11:36PM
Didnt work with firefox but worked with IE go figure.
linebeginstoblur @ Sep 27th 2009 12:27AM
It's not free. I may not be spending money, but I'm spending too much of my time waiting for the pages to load, only for them to either time out or to give me an incorrect code, so I have to start from the beginning. I've still yet to get anything to work, and I'm not too optimistic here. It's taking so long, I'm wondering if it's worth it to just throw down the money so I don't have to bother with this anymore. Some "helpful" promotion there...
linebeginstoblur @ Sep 27th 2009 1:08AM
Sony Wonder. It's a Wonder how they thought they were competent enough to do this "generous offering" correctly and headache-free.
linebeginstoblur @ Sep 27th 2009 1:36AM
Joystiq, PLEASE edit this post and strikethrough "It's as easy as that."
Finally, on my 5th code, after a couple hours of waiting and waiting, I have it. I do wonder, though, if it's worth all the waiting. Like I said, it's not free, because I paid in time. Hopefully, next time "Sony Wonder," or whoever's responsible, does this, they'll make it a bit less of a nightmare.
bumblo @ Sep 27th 2009 1:48AM
Good lord man, that's an awful lot of whining over a freebie that normally costs $4.99(I think?). It took me 4 tries to get the right code, and since I don't have to save the world or make millions with my time, I'm fine with it.
linebeginstoblur @ Sep 27th 2009 10:40AM
Allow me to explain myself. Though I usually don't abuse it like this, I am a very active Twitter user, and when I'm upset, I may tend to give live updates, so you see the same philosophy here (and maybe that's why people hate Twitter). Also, I had a rough night last night, so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Seems like, some days, I give very productive comments, and other days, I come across as a douche. In any case, I apologize if I annoyed anyone last night (and looking at the downvotes, I know I did).
Nate @ Sep 27th 2009 12:38AM
Got mine...
Raytia @ Sep 27th 2009 12:45AM
I got one no problem. If when you click "Redeem" it's not loading on whatever browser you're trying on - just try a diff browser. That's what I did, first code I got worked.
linebeginstoblur @ Sep 27th 2009 12:48AM
For me, it takes way too long to load on Firefox, but in Chrome, it doesn't even try. I even tried IE, and it won't even take me to the Redeem page.
Fane [A-MF Brigade] @ Sep 27th 2009 5:30AM
I used the PS3 browser. No problems.
CaptainHeadache @ Sep 27th 2009 1:00AM
4 different computers, each with 2 different browsers, and a Windows Mobile phone with Opera. I've had no less than 8 different codes, and none of them work. Two completely different computers had the same code--not even sure how that should be possible. This deal stinks, and bad. Is anyone having any luck with this right now, or is it just a waste of my time? I had planned on playing some games tonight, but have spent over an hour on this inadvertently.

Once you redeem, you turn on your ps3 and then go to your download lists in the ps store, and youll see it there ready fo you to download. all these keys your giving out will be used up in 5 minutes after reading this.
Ashitaka @ Sep 27th 2009 3:16PM
Funny, I redeemed it from my PS3.

MexN00B @ Sep 27th 2009 2:26AM
Just found out why sometimes it doesn't work...
There's too many people trying to get codes from the page and the webservice can't generate them fast enough so it gives the same code to multiple requests. Then when you try to redeem it there's a high chance that someone else already redeemed it.
This is what I did to get it though...
Go to the online account management website: https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm
Sign in, then under the Transaction Management group click on the "Redeem PlayStation®Network Card or Promotion Code" link then leave that page open.
Clear your cookies from your browser to get another code from http://www.us.playstation.com/sonywondergames/default.aspx
Quickly switch to the account management page you left open and type the new code..
It should work but if it gives you this error message, "This code has already been redeemed the maximum number of times." just try again.
After you redeem the code from the website, just go to your PS3 and hit the PS store, it should be waiting for you in the Downloads list.
kentuckyfried @ Sep 27th 2009 4:36PM
Hey, thanks...I don't go the whole nine yards, but it finally worked.
Keep trying, that's all I can say, and follow the Mex's instructions (you don't need to go clear cookies, I took the lazy man's way, but clearing cookies might speed things up).
ALSO...
Do not use Safari. Their website ate sh1t on it right when I was trying to confirm the download. So I had to go back and re-use Firefox to go thru all these steps again.
It's not that people are whining about a $5.00 purchase. it's just that when somebody says they are giving you something for free, it's highly desired that those people keep their word. Otherwise it feels like an miserable empty promise.
taylynne @ Sep 27th 2009 3:15AM
Worked perfectly fine for me.
carterk88 @ Sep 27th 2009 3:21AM
My first code I got with my MacBook didn't work. I just tried it again less than a minute later with my iPhone and it worked like a charm!!! Thanks Sony!!
PhobiaQ @ Sep 27th 2009 6:23AM
Works fine for me. thank you Sony =)
Abdo @ Sep 27th 2009 6:24AM
Redeemed my code, worked the first time.
What happens if you install this on a non-American PS3 / LBP?
Ashitaka @ Sep 27th 2009 3:10PM
PS3's aren't region locked, games are. So it doesn't matter if the PS3 is american or not.
However, since this promotion is only available in the US store, then it only applies to US copies of LBP. I'm glad I imported mine from America :P
Ashitaka @ Sep 27th 2009 3:11PM
I realise I ended up by not answering your question xD
If you install it and you have a non-US copy of LBP then nothing happens. Even though it installs, you won't be able to use or see the costumes in-game.
Michael @ Sep 27th 2009 6:25AM
There is no problem useing the Code in the PSN Store. You just need to do it before somebody elth dos it.
Sadly this only works with a US Copy of the game (tested it with the UK one, did install but not pop up in the game)
dan.soucy @ Sep 27th 2009 11:10AM
sweet got mine 2nd time around first one didnt work so keep trying nothings totally free got to try a few times to score
Kinsey @ Sep 27th 2009 12:21PM
You Rock Joystiq!!! Just picked up LBPGOTY so this will go to good use with all the extras that the disc already comes with :D
PC-Max @ Sep 27th 2009 1:59PM
Well I have tried up to 30 codes and they all say invalid. I checked the letter casing and numbers AND their sequences and still get the invalid message. I guess I should not complain if its free, but this was one of the packs I was interested in, but not really wanting to pay for. Ah well, it would have made me play LBP once again as a viking. It goes back on the shelf. Hope everyone else has better luck. I mean 30 times.... why did I try it for that long. lol.

My other question is why not just make it available for free off PSN say for 3 days? Then close it. Ah well, the redeem code thing for games is starting to bug me. lol. Good luck everyone.
Ashitaka @ Sep 27th 2009 3:14PM
Aww, that sucks. But for your information, the letter casing doesn't matter at all when redeeming codes even though they are always presented in upper-case.
I got mine at the 5th try, I guess I was lucky :x
