Darksiders code nets a free game, art and other stuff photo

Some brand-new copies of Vigil Interactive's Darksiders came sealed with a special card containing a 20-digit promotional code. In menacing bold letters above the code are the words "DO NOT DISCARD," something we thought about doing a time or two since even Vigil didn't know what the code did -- until this afternoon.

According to the official Darksiders blog, people who submit their code to THQ before March 7th will get a "digital Hellbook disc" containing art, videos, and "awesome stuff." But that's not all. Submitters will also get a free retail copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla for either the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3. All you have to do is front the shipping costs, and, of course live in the US.

Damnit, this is backwards.

I own RFG, but not Darksiders.

Crap.

Yes this is very backwards. That's really kickass of them though.

Is Red Faction any good? I suppose if it's free it doesn't matter.

I will never understand that appeal, if any, of a digital art book.

This is awesome. I just purchased RFG literally yesterday though for 20 bucks at Toys R Us (it was mislabled). Oh well, another copy cant hurt...

@Arionol: If you still have your receipt and the copy THQ sends you is a regular copy (and not "Not for Resale") just return that to TRU.

So happy I bought RFG a month or so ago and that my Darksiders came with the code. Haha oh well.

@Aaron St Croix:

Thanks for the advice. I thought about doing that, but I know somebody else who might want it that I can sell it to :)

To everyone who has RFG but not Darksiders:

Get Darksiders. It is a GREAT game and you can just trade in one of your RFGs.

This is obviously because darksiders isnt selling that great which in its self is fuckin stupid because the game is awesome. I played it through and honestly cant wait to go through it again and find everything. As for this deal i hate it because i was interested in RFG but not enough to buy it...maybe some can convince me otherwise...and i already bought darksiders so no deal for me poo but hopefully this bumps sales and we get a sequel because i need it.

Eh. I sold RFG on craigslist not too long ago. I guess I'll take another copy. If worse comes to worst I'll just sell it for 25 bones again.

Dang. I was kinda hoping for some DLC expansion, but I guess I can't complain about Red Faction for free.

I pre ordered the game and got the code in my game. I am not sure if the code is in every copy or not.

Thankfully, I don't already own Red Faction. Shame about having to pay the $5 shipping but I will enjoy the freebies anyhow. For the record, I just walked into a Best Buy and bought the game a couple of days after it came out, so this isn't necessarily a preorder bonus at all, just a luck of the draw.

wtf? guess it posted even long after i stopped the page to add the ps3 part. oh well. still waiting on that delete your own comments thing.

Fuck yes, so glad I picked up Darksiders when it was $40 on Newegg. Pretty great game and this deal is just frosting on the delicious cake that is Darksiders.

Awesome! I considered getting this game when it was released, but ultimately decided against it. Since I purchased Darksiders day-1, I'll be looking forward to this!

Wow. I just opened up my sealed copy of Darksiders when I read this article; sure enough, there was the voucher. Red Faction for 5 bucks.

Anyone having problems with the code - All of the letters are in caps, and make sure you manually input the dashes with no spaces.

Hope that helps!
