World Tour free DLC offer is alive, it's really alive!

by Dustin Burg { Dec 16th 2008 at 1:45PM }

Last week, we mentioned a new Guitar Hero World Tour holiday offer where, with purchase of a World Tour bundle before December 31st, you can score five free downloadable tracks. We're pleased to inform you that the offer is now available and your free DLC awaits.

To participate in the offer, simply make your way to World Tour's free content download redemption page and enter both your World Tour serial number and owner ID from your manual. Then, like magic, you'll receive your free tracks. And seeing that we don't have a World Tour bundle handy, we weren't able to proceed through with the redemption process. So, we aren't entirely sure how you select the five DLC tracks or if it's a pre-selected bundle. It's like blazing new trails.

[Thanks, Adam O.]

BAH! I'm at work for the next 6 hours, can someone confirm that the Band Bundle works!?

Alexander @ Dec 16th 2008 3:10PM

I have the band bundle and it just worked for me! Just use the guitar serial code under the batteries in the guitar.

sare @ Dec 16th 2008 1:50PM

You can choose 5 out of 10 songs from currently available DLC, and you will get further instructions 4-6 weeks from now

B1gg Randall @ Dec 16th 2008 2:05PM

its mess up....cause the Owner ID on the manual has 5 section of Words and numbers,but the site has 4!!! WTF

B1gg Randall @ Dec 16th 2008 2:09PM

Never mind it fixs =)

Myles Morley @ Dec 16th 2008 2:10PM

FYI no "official" ID works, just pick 00000 00000 00000 0#### and then tweak the lat 3-4 numbers till you find one that works.

Also takes 4-6 weeks T_T

BrokenMonkey @ Dec 16th 2008 3:28PM

This worked on my first try. How did you figure that out? Doesn't make sense to me.

Matt @ Dec 16th 2008 2:14PM

B1gg Randall - how it fix? I tried to enter mine in 5 digit segments to make it work in those 4 spots, but it tells me I have an invalid Owner ID. Tried the first four also. Using Firefox 3 on Mac.

evan @ Dec 16th 2008 2:32PM

where do you find the owner id in the manual??? is it the wireless controller instruction one??? cause dats all i hav....

OmegaRed @ Dec 16th 2008 2:35PM

Um, the owners ID is on the back of the game's manual. This promotion is for people who bought the guitar and game together.

Also, don't worry about it right now because it doesn't work. Check out the comments.

Jeff @ Dec 16th 2008 2:17PM

I'm having the same problems as others since the Owner Manual ID is formatted differently it's saying my ID is invalid... hope they fix this, or there is some work around available.

Timdogg @ Dec 16th 2008 2:18PM

can someone tell me where to find the serial number???

Jeff @ Dec 16th 2008 2:22PM

It's under the batteries. There's a diagram on the redeem page.

B1gg Randall @ Dec 16th 2008 2:19PM

I meant to say it fits not fix lol....But my codes dont work either I give up lol

OmegaRed @ Dec 16th 2008 2:23PM

Serial number is under the batteries in your guitar, the site tells you that.

And yeah, owners manual ID code is 5 blocks of 4 digits while the site's is 4 blocks of 5 digits. Even making it fit doesn't work. They need to do something to fix it, no one is going to be able to get anything like this.

duro @ Dec 16th 2008 2:38PM

free dlc fail.

mikazi @ Dec 16th 2008 2:59PM

Mine has worked and I am using the Band kit :)
You get to choose 5 out of 10, and they'll send you an email in 6-7 weeks telling you how to redeem them :D

OmegaRed @ Dec 16th 2008 3:14PM

Is your owner ID code 5 blocks of 4 or 4 blocks of 5? Mine is different than the site's, and won't work even if I make it fit.

mikazi @ Dec 16th 2008 3:18PM

I did what "Myles Morley" said, and i even used the serial number from my drums because my guitar has been sent off for repair :/

OmegaRed @ Dec 16th 2008 3:25PM

Hmm. Okay. I just figured it might not be a good idea to use some random number. I was thinking maybe the owners ID was tied to the disc it came with.

YoGranMaPimp @ Dec 16th 2008 3:09PM

Can anyone post a clear description or a pic of where the owners id is? not sure why on the site they show a pic of the serial num but not the other? i have a "Wireless Controller Instruction manual" read it cover to cover, english, spanish, french, no owner id. Can anyone help?

Timdogg @ Dec 16th 2008 3:10PM

So I wonder why it will take 4-6 weeks to make this happen...don't get me wrong, free is free, but free right now is much better than free 5 weeks from now.

Timdogg @ Dec 16th 2008 3:14PM

It is on the back cover of the GH:WT manual

Myles Morley @ Dec 16th 2008 3:40PM

I'm god :P No?

Nick @ Dec 16th 2008 3:43PM

Got it.

Enter 0s for everything except the last 4 digits.

Once you do that with the remaining 4 spaces use the last 4 digits on the owners manual.

You get taken to the next page and then you get to choose song then get a message saying 4-6 weeks till you get your prize :S

Curtis @ Dec 16th 2008 7:06PM

Nope, didn't work... :S

Mike @ Dec 16th 2008 3:54PM

If you're able to choose from CURRENTLY available DLC, why wait 5 weeks to cash in?

Another reason I hate Activision's Guitar Hero.

hawk @ Dec 16th 2008 4:24PM

If you use your guitar serial number and then the drum serial number you can get all ten songs. SWEET!

Asher @ Dec 16th 2008 4:26PM

Wtf, it's not even from the whole list of songs that are out, they just give you 10 to choose from:

Homoooo. ):

Kramer2k @ Dec 16th 2008 4:36PM

I can't get it to work either. Bummer!

skin.bintin @ Dec 17th 2008 2:41AM

I was under the impression this offer is only for people who purchased the super bundle (Game + Mic + Guitar + Drums) and not those people that only got the Game + Guitar.

Shoot me if I'm wrong, but maybe that's why some peoples codes aren't working?

Angel @ Dec 16th 2008 6:59PM

WTF!!!!!!!!! Nothing works for me. It keeps saying Invalid Owner ID. What the hell is wrong with this thing?!!

d0r13n @ Dec 17th 2008 10:02AM

I tried it on both Firefox 3 and whatever the most current version of IE, and it didn't work either time. Same for using the various ways of making it work with zeros, 4 sections into five and even offering up a sacrificial rockband guitar to appease the Guitar Hero Gods.

XDeathCarrotX @ Dec 16th 2008 10:02PM

I'd like to confirm, just enter

00000 00000 00000 00000 0####

and it works. Just replace the #'s with random numbers.

XDeathCarrotX @ Dec 17th 2008 1:44AM

Again, this works fine for me, just make sure that you enter 4 rows of 5 0's (zeros) then one that starts 0 (zero) + 4 random numbers.

example: 00000 00000 00000 00000 03627

shaolin cochino @ Dec 16th 2008 10:57PM

WTF!!
The site keeps telling me that my ID has already been used.
Is this a result of people just putting random numbers in?

XDeathCarrotX @ Dec 17th 2008 1:42AM

apparently the official ones don't work. Try:

00000 00000 00000 00000 0####

Replace the #'s with random numbers.

RyuOn360 @ Dec 17th 2008 6:12AM

what a joke, first your code dunt work from intructions / then the website is bunked up / then u can only choose 5 from a list of 10

& Finally when u have choosen from said list of 10 u have to wait weeks to get em via email.

nice try GHWT, nice to get free tracks, but we want em straight away, not in a few weeks.

i presume this was to compete with RB giving away tracks also. ( at least GH tracks are from known arist's)

But this is a epic fail.

to confirm use random numbers for your serail from intructions eg 00000 00000 000000 12345

Ghen @ Dec 17th 2008 7:55AM

Personally I'm going to wait til they fix it. I don't want my serial number floating around in some database hole.

Angel @ Dec 17th 2008 12:11PM

It pisses me off that Rock Band 2 already has 2 Paramore songs while we only have 1 in Guitar Hero WT...............and HAYLEY WILLIAMS IS IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!! They better put Riot! as DLC because the whole album deserves a spot on GH!
