    For those who bought their copy of Darksiders, you might have noticed a slip of paper inside that yells at you "DO NOT DISCARD - Save This Code!", follow by a four-section, four digit code.  It then tells you to "go to darksiders.com to check the offer!".  It probably looks like this: 
     

        

    No Caption Provided

    Upon visiting the site, I didn't know what to do next, until I looked in the news of the site and there was a story about it.  Here is the link, and here are the details: 
     
    http://community.darksidersvideogame.com/blog-post/mysterious-redemption-code  
     
    "We know what you're thinking...what IS this code? 
     
      Well, it's a special reward that we've inserted into our initial run of the product. We can't unveil the gift yet, but believe us: you're not going to want to miss it. 
     
    Check back for more details later in the month OR register HERE with the Darksiders community and we'll email you when we unveil it. 

    Enjoy guiding War's hand against Heaven, Hell, and those unfortunate to be caught between the two." 
     
    Personally, I'm hoping it's some sweet DLC for being awesome enough to buy this supremely awesome game!

    Nope - no mystery code in my box. Just 'The Hollow Lord' code to get the Harvester for free.

    @Seppli: Yeah, it's apparently part of a limited pressing of the game.  First some-odd copies have it.  If you buy the game new, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will get the code.  It's almost, like, a golden ticket ordeal I guess.  =  / 
     
    Just wanted to let people know, as I'm sure someone is going to ask eventually.

    Wow that's really stupid that it isn't in all new copies of the game. If it's something ultra awesome, I'd be pissed if I bought a new copy and didn't have the code in it.

    Why isn't it in all new copies of the game for like, the first month or something?
     
    Great idea, poorly executed.

    Again, the idea of the golden ticket.  There wasn't a golden ticket in every Wonka bar, just like there isn't one of these in every copy of Darksiders.  It's a luck of the draw kind of thing, but it's an incentive for people to pick up a new copy of the game.  Meanwhile, everyone can be rewarded knowing that you can get the Harvester, even if you didn't pre-order the game.

    What is this harvester that has been mentioned? I didn't get any codes with mine, just a lovely french version of the manual. 
     
    Now I'm left to wonder why I bought it new since I got neither of the potential bonuses

    The harvester is a pre-order weapon you got from buying the game from specific retailers.
    It's just a scythe, exactly the same as the one you can normally, but looks slightly different and is free to buy.  It actually replaces the weapon in the shop, so you can't have both.
     
    But it's not a download to get the weapon just a code.  So go into the options and enter:  "The Hollow Lord" (case sensitive) and you'll get it.
     
    Disappointed to say my copy didn't come with one of these special mystery codes either.

    Well it's not DLC as far as we know.  Joe Mad and Vigil says they aren't planning anything to do with DLC.  I'm thinking it's probably a limited edition poster or some other piece of art done by Joe Mad.

    Except Wonka bars were, what? A dollar? This is a $60 game. This fails as an incentive, if anything it just alienates people like me from buying the full game since there's really no good reason for me to buy one new. I'll just wait for this on Goozex.

    Just curious, where did you get your copy?  The common thread I'm finding online is that people who obtained their copies from Gamestop didn't get a code.  Mine was from Toys R Us and came with a code.

    Dude, thanks for the heads up. I was wondering what the hell to do with that thing, but just set it aside after I went to the website and saw nothing about the code. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I sure hope it's something good.

    Well I'm actually in the UK, posted a question on the official website to try and find out if this promotion is only for the US.  A lot of Canadians seem to be complaining about not getting it either, there's a lot of backlash over there to the point where I'm sure they're going to address this in some way.

    Oh yeah I forgot about that fact.  That was another common complaint.  I wish they'd announce it already so we can decide if all this fuss is worth it or not.

    Personally, as far as all the fuss is concerned...it sounds like there are a lot of Veruca Salts in the world...and I just happen to be Charlie Bucket. 
     
    If it were a limited Darksiders poster signed by Joe Mad, I'd shit my pants.  I've wanted Joe Mad's autograph for a while.

    Maybe they're actually SUPER rare and they're going to send everyone with a code one of the replica Chaoseater's they sent to the press with review copies. 
     
    Blind hope aside, I have no idea. Here's hoping it's cool though, since I got one too! Haha.

    If that were the case, I'd crap myself stupid and ebay the hell outta that thing :)  My house is not nearly roomy or manly enough to handle the awesome might of the Chaoseater!
     
    Well i'll ebay if it fetches a pretty penny online :)  I need some computer upgrades and a new tv :)

    I had to go opening my case to see if I got one. Awh, I didn't oh well and I also didn't get that Harvester one as it was a pre-order bonus. I did get this stupid 13cm figurine of War though so I guess I didn't miss out entirely. Even if it is lame.

    I think that's just saying that the offer has nothing to do with Sony or Microsoft. 
     
    From what i saw, the thing is US only, said quite specifically somewhere, think it was on the darksiders forums, sad.

    You know, they still haven't said what the mystery code is for.  However, it's getting near the end of the month, so hopefully, we'll be finding out soon. 
     
    Hell, at this point, I'd be perfectly fine with a Chaoseater for my avatar...or even War's armor...as it's on the marketplace already.

    Maybe it is a code to get the figurine of War that I've seen some folks posting about?
     
    If it is a code to redeem in order to get an actual life size Chaoseater sword then I may kick a puppy for renting the game instead of buying it. I will pay £10 and donate my first born to whoever is willing to give me their Chaoseater replica should this be the prize for redeeming the code!

    The figurine of War that I have came as my pre-order bonus...and by "pre-order bonus", I mean it WAS a pre-order bonus but my cousin works at Game Crazy so he just handed me one when I bought the game anyways. 
      
    I'm now at the point where I wish they'd just say what the fuck it is and move on...

    @jakob187: Damn I kind of wish I did pre-order it now lol. If this code shenanigans means folks get a chance of winning a replica Chaoseater I will cry though, would chop off an arm to get one. That way I could create my own cosplay gauntlet and truly feel like I am War himself!.....yup, thought into that a little too much didn't I? :(

    If this mystery code was supposed to prevent people from buying used you'd think they would have advertised it more.
