Dying Light ps4

Hi,

I recentley bought dying light for the ps4 new from game. I was told if i bought a NEW copy of the game I would get a dlc which is only avaliable on new copies with it. It turns out that this dlc is avaliable on the preowned version aswell. Does anybody know if I can get a refund or anything? it also turns out it is an add on aswell and is NOT in fact a dlc.

:money:

    Are you referring to the "Be the zombie" thing?

    Did they actually state that the preowned version doesnt include the content or was it just perhaps a general disclaimer?

    Tbh, unless what you've actually bought doesnt conform to contract, I dont think you'll have any grounds for action against the retailer. Might be able to complain about a trading practice of theirs is misleading but that won't necessarily entitle you to a refund.

    And of course at present, soga only extends to the durable medium, not the digital content (due to be changed...end of this year or so)

    Theres every possibility that was a general disclaimer as preowned usually doesnt come with DLC as its normally redeemed via a single use code and it needs to be purchased separately. Generally (in my experience anyway) when a game is marketed as including DLC, that DLC isn't free.

    There are some retailers even selling it as a "be the zombie edition" which although misleading (as imo it makes you think its not a standard edition) its not actually false - you would get exactly what you pay for - and I can kind of understand why they might not be aware that its free content if its marketed as including it.

    ETA: If you were specifically told that though, there's nothing to stop you complaining and seeing if you can get a goodwill gesture.

  • because of the delay they gave everybody it for free
