    Okay, I just bought Gears 2 and was given the Golden Hammerburst for free. I go home to enter the code and was sucessful, so I clicked download now. I had my Mirror's Edge demo still downloading so I had to click cancel all and redownload the hammerburst. My problem is that now I cannot redeem the code because it says it is invalid and there seems to be no other means of downloading it. Anyone know if there is a solution to my problem?

    Go to your account, then find Download history - the golden hammerburst should be the most recent item.  Download it again.

    Maybe if you go into the Gears 2 section in the Memory bit of system settings. If it's listed as incomplete DLC then I think you can restart it...

    Disregard that, topic was lying in tab and was old.

    Dude, if that works, you will be my best friend!

    EDIT------

    That didn't work either. I get the same error message.
    Apparently a ton of guys over on the EPIC forums are having the same problem. Link

    This works: 

    Take the disc out of the tray and close the tray.

    Go to the System Blade ---> Select Memory

    Press Y for Device Options

    Enter this code:    X  X  LB RB X  X

    This will refresh your devices.
