Remember that Mystery code that came with some copies of Darksiders? Here's what you're getting (revealed on this site):
 
 

Still hanging onto that mystery code? Good, because this is what you're getting:

• A digital Hellbook disc featuring Darksiders art, videos, and other awesome stuff!
• A free copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla, a third person shooter featuring fully destructible environments... on Mars! To learn more about RF:G, go here.
  • Click here to receive the 360 version.
  • Click here to receive the PS3 version.

Once you click on which version you want, enter your Promo Code and click "Apply."

This offer is only available to US residents and ends March 7, 2010. Shipping and handling not included.
 
I just hope the shipping and handling isn't expensive. -_-' Anyway, it's a neat bonus which I'll redeem now. Remember, limited time offer.
 
 

We'd like to address some of the questions regarding the promotional code offer.

Why is my code invalid?
When entering your code, please make sure you to do the following:

• Enter in all the hyphens
• Check if certain characters are the number "0" or the letter "O"

Why isn't the Darksiders Hellbook appearing in my shopping cart?
This is now fixed. Do not worry if you placed your order before this, the disc will be sent with Red Faction: Guerrilla.

When will I receive my copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla and Darksiders Hellbook disc?
As stated in the PDF that came with your order, it will take four weeks.

• Your original purchase receipt of a NEW copy of Darksiders
• The package barcode
• Shipping and handling costs

Holy goddamn.  Just saw this.  I was about to buy RF:G yesterday!  Woo!

Wow thats crazy.

I just bought RF:G last week, I really like it.
Score to those of you who bought Darksiders - an awesome game in and of itself.

I want a free game.   :(

That's nuts, but I'm kinda sorry I bought RF:G now... not that I really have been playing it. It's a little... empty to me, other than the awesome destruction.

Just ordered mine, yay.

Yeah too bad I already have RF:G and don't want to pay 10 bucks for shipping >:V

It's 5 bucks, you have to remove the extended download thing. "

I'm just worried that RF:G will just come in a game sleeve and not a case.  I hope that's not the case.  (Pun unintended.)  Also, THQ is starting to earn some street cred' with me.

I have a split reaction to this.  Here it is: 

1. WOO HOO!!!  FINALLY, we know what the code is, and it's to let people who might not have played one of the best games of last year (as well as one of my favorite) to FINALLY get in on the fucking carnage!  YEAH!!!  Plus, my copy has water damaged box art to it now, so I'm praying this comes in a case that can replace that!!!  YEAH, FUCKIN' A, THQ!!!  Also, BONUS DISC FOR DARKSIDERS?!  FUCKIN' A, COTTON!!!
2. Really?  A copy of RFG, which is a game that is almost in no way related to Darksiders other than being published by the same company...and a bonus disc of art and stuff?  Like, if there is video documentary stuff on the making of Darksiders...and its troubled development cycle, then sure.  However, something like a Darksiders T-shirt with a design by Joe Mad as well as a piece of original Darksiders art signed by Joe Mad would've been WAAAAAAAY cooler.

Awesome. Now if I can get the site to load up...
 
EDIT: Ordered! And yeah, as others have said, shipping is $5 as long as you get rid of that extended download option.

So wait a second.  Would I be able to get this code if I bought Darksiders new right now?

Were you expecting anything more than a new weapon? "

Yeah, honestly I wasn't expecting much from the bonus item. I thought it was going to be some sort of DLC, theme, or gamerpics. "

" where is/was the code when you got it? cause i bought it about a day or so after launch and im not seeing it >_> "

Haha, wouldn't it figure that the second they finally reveal the thing, the site goes down? 
 
Even if it isn't really related to Darksiders whatsoever, throwing in a free copy of RF:G is a pretty goddamn great little "thank you" for those who snagged a first-run copy, not to mention the extra disc and all. Feel pretty bad for those who got a copy without, though :/ 
 
It's weird, too, because like a bunch of people on here, I was almost about to buy RF:G today. But if it's on the house, welp...

Deep down, I was hoping by some miracle this would be that replica of Chaoseater that one dude got :P
 
But I didn't play RF:G, and enjoyed the demo, so this is awesome.

Im excited about this. I was going to pick up a copy of RF:G not too long ago for about 20 bucks so getting it for cheaper is always good :)

Woot! I just redeemed my code. $5 for a new copy of RF:G with Darksiders bonus disc. Why not? Only a few people got the code. Either you pre-ordered Darksiders or bought it within the first week or so. Even then, not all of those first shipped had the code. I'm happy I supported Darksiders. It's a good game in it's own right. Nice to have this little bonus though.

Sweet! That is definitely worth five bucks. I'm glad I am glad I am one of the lucky ones. :D

Wow thats pretty awesome. Too bad it was for North America only. But I already have one copy of Red Faction Guerilla that I have never played. I probably didn't need another one.

I played the beta of RFG.
 
It's worth paying $5 shipping.

Pretty nice deal, but the code was only for the US.
 
Still, some people on the Darksiders forums were absolute douchebags about this whole code, thinking it was going to be some form of exclusive content for the game and would really go into rants when somebody came on and was upset they didn't get a code.  Never seen such a big community of "it's OUR toy, we don't want to share!"  Personally I was expecting this to be the War armour for your avatar/Home.  It was free with pre-orders in Europe.
 
Although I do believe it's up to buy now as well, so if you bought it and then found out you could have it for free, it would have been a slap in the face.

Anyone interested in my code, send me a PM. I already have RF:G for 360, and I don't care to get another copy.

Wow. That's a great way to reward people who took a risk on buying Darksiders! Kinda bummed I didn't get it now, wouldn't mind receiving a free copy of RF:G as well.

" @Apathylad: The story isn't awesome and Mars doesn't really have beautiful scenery (just a lot of rocks), but the rest is true. RFG is a great game. "

Yep, and I'd almost be willing to bet that anyone who got their copy for 360...and asked REAL NICELY...might be able to get me, StarFoxA, and Metroid545...the CHAMPIONS of RFG...to party up for some multiplayer sweetness! "

Damn, I didn't imagine they would be giving away a free copy of one of their major releases from last year. Good going THQ. Both for doing something awesome and thinking of such a creative way to market one of their other franchises. I already have Guerrilla but I'll happily give it away to someone at work because I'm sure I won't get anything for it on trade in.

Ordered my copy. Only crappy part is THQ doesn't ask for a shipping address and the address on my bank account is a PO Box so now the game is being sent to a PO BOX. Not really sure how thats gonna work out...

" Anyone interested in my code, send me a PM. I already have RF:G for 360, and I don't care to get another copy. "

Not so much a plus for me because I already have Red Faction Guerilla on PC, PS3, and 360. Got em from Red Faction Pack on Impulse (THQ Complete Pack on Steam), Birthday present, and bought it on day one.

WOO found my code :D i'll be ordering it in a min but whats their extended download service? cause it seems to be just to get 5$ more..

I'll just go to my local rental store and get the code out of one of the boxes.

So, a couple of quick questions: 

1. Do I need the UPC or receipt or anything from the Darksiders box in order to claim this promo?
2. Shipping can only be done by credit card or debit, I'm assuming?  No money order option?
3. With the way the shipping looks, it would seem the game is coming in a case.  Anyone who can confirm that?

Thats awesome.

That's such a good deal. Too bad I already have Red Faction Guerrilla.
