So I will continue this in a discussion (as we've done for months) to agree upon something rather than just making changes and bitching. It's not about making CST a standard. Gearbox has always made announcements saying codes would be released at X:00 CST, etc. and they also provide this conversion. We have been using this as a basis for time for months. Now, two of you who have been on here for a week decide to change it up. Great. Thanks for learning why this was done in the first place. (67.230.254.107)

Admin here. For now we should keep it CST since that is the time Gearbox Software uses. But feel free to continue this discussion or other suggestions on how to improve the information here so that it's best presented to anyone no matter where they live.

Revision as of 21:15, 3 February 2013

Thanks

I really want to express my gratitude to those that update this page with new shift codes but please, can we refrain from creating new headings for every day then saying there was no codes released. I deleted all the dates that had no codes, and in the future lets try to keep this page nice and tight with updates only when codes are released

Cleanup

I removed the old codes and condensed the section a bit for clarity. If anyone disapproves please revert the changes. -cfg


Obviously nobody reads this page since old headings were removed and some smart person went and ADDED THEM BACK. Ug. What a waste of space, who cared that there were old keys 6 days ago?

And why now is "Latest shift codes" under "Old shift codes"? Ug, newbs.


Some people are curious to see how many codes were released and which they missed just to get an idea of how many keys they can expect to be released

Anyway I took "latest shift codes" out of "old shift codes" and placed it in its own heading GamerM 18:57, 25 October 2012 (EDT)


Thanks. Any chance a date can be followed with a #, such as Oct 19 (3), Oct 20 (4), etc rather than each individual date having its own section? I am not going to bother making any more edits (including adding keys when they are posted) because this wiki page is just going to be a huge jumble of freaking dates that really don't serve any purpose. It's obvious that past numbers of keys are no use in predicting the future.


Cleaned up the section of the old codes and just put a summary of what happened instead of a list of dates Corvo 19:56, 28 October 2012 (EDT)


Looks really great Corvo, thanks. WAY better than a list of codes that mean nothing.


Shift-Code listing order

  • Reverse the listing order so that the newest date appears at the beginning, that way people don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to view the latest keys.
  • That said, maybe a small box at the very top of the page that precedes everything else for instant gratification, then they can scroll down to check for more.

Another Key

Added PC: KTCJJ-FHZJW-W6JJB-TTBTJ-R9WWJ under Latest shift codes, sadly I don't know when it was issued. Found in the gearbox youtube channel, activated fine 12:06, 15 November 2012 (EST)


About my comment above, the x360/ps3 codes are found at the end of the video (see link on the page). I can't confirm if they work, but the PC Code worked fine for me. 12:59, 15 November 2012 (EST)


It was added on November 4 (see the date of the video). I added the other codes in from the rev. history of the page. Btw, few people ever click to this page which is why I added the comment on the other page and was intended to be short-term. 12:08pm CST, Nov 15

time standard

Can we try to keep the time standard? For almost 2 months is was CST (GMT/UTC - 6), as Gearbox headquarters are in that timezone. Then just have a conversion for those needing GMT/UTC available. (67.230.254.107)

No, I think the standard should be GMT/UTC. It is the widely accepted timezone for the whole planet and everybody knows (or should) what timezone they are in in relation to GMT. It only adds to confusion when you have to +/- to get CST to GMT and then convert from there.

Thanks for your opinion, thought I don't think it's entirely accurate.

How so? The world doesn't run on CST. The standard is GMT/UTC which when I'm in the EST I don't say oh I'm +1 CST. I say I'm -5 GMT. It doesn't matter where Gearbox is located.

So I will continue this in a discussion (as we've done for months) to agree upon something rather than just making changes and bitching. It's not about making CST a standard. Gearbox has always made announcements saying codes would be released at X:00 CST, etc. and they also provide this conversion. We have been using this as a basis for time for months.

VGA/Award codes

Someone removed the codes earlier this week, even though they were still valid, so I put them back. Someone removed them again today, can anyone else confirm whether they are still valid or not (Someone who has not used them yet?) for now I am putting the codes back again Corvo 03:03, 14 December 2012 (EST)

I just tested all PS3 codes. The G4 was listed as expire but worked for me, so I removed the (expired) notation next to code. Pzycho242 (PSN) --50.0.30.96 00:19, 27 December 2012 (EST)

PC Code Hyphens

Someone removed the hyphens "-" from the PC codes, saying that its more easy to copy and paste if without the hyphens

What do other players here who play on PC think? include Hyphens or not?

Corvo 05:43, 26 December 2012 (EST)

I just removed them from the most recent codes. It's been hit an miss whether copy/paste works for me - I'll try it without the hyphens maybe that's the issue. --67.230.254.107

Really, taking the hyphens out is completely unnecessary, but it doesn't hurt either. It has nothing to do with them "pasting properly", though. That's caused by leading/trailing spaces, which cause an error message when you hit Ctrl-V.

Taking the hyphens out does make them marginally easier to copy, though. To select a code, you'd triple-click the table cell. If it's all one word, you only have to double click to select it. But really who gives a shit --91.52.232.241 21:04, 26 December 2012 (EST)

I think let's leave it with Hyphens for now. Less confusing. But we can keep this discussion open in case more people think the hyphens shouldn't be there Corvo 01:40, 27 December 2012 (EST)

Key count from codes

I just checked the codes present on this page and it seems to only give 21 keys. Not 31 as mentioned... Probably a typo.

ok changed it, am guessing someone started off with 10 golden keys before using them thats why he had 31 Corvo 15:01, 31 December 2012 (EST)


Golden Key Cheat

Can we just delete the "golden keys cheat" section? It's not working anymore. --67.230.254.107

Do you mean the WillowDLC cheat? That was a major cheat and I think the section should stay for informational purposes. However, I added an "IMPORTANT" note, to make it clear that it no longer works. Corvo 14:14, 4 January 2013 (EST)

Good point. Thanks for your contributions here Corvo! 20:12 CST Jan 11 2013 67.23.254.107

But now at the bottom it says "tested 1/20/13 working" which I just checked and it doesn't, it now takes your key and items. 20:42 PST 1/21/13

Best Game 2012 - 5 keys?

Hi all; I was adding shift codes tonight, and everything in the 'latest' list worked fine for XB0X 360. Something odd though; This code --

Borderlands 2 won @G4TV's Best Game 2012 (5 keys!) Dec 17 17:13 CST "Next few days" XBOX: W3KTJ-FZ9CS-XS6BR-K6JJ3-XCFXT

The 'Shift' screen on my console doesn't show 5 keys for that code. It shows `Borderlands 2 Golden Key`, just like the more generic single-key releases. Oddly, those stack (`redeemed six times`) while the G4TV key is its own entry on my list. The other 5-key code works properly, unlocking `5 Golden Keys`.

Just advising. Thought it was curious. 24.74.94.112


Can anybody tell me why the last 2 time a code for 5 keys was released that when I used for me Xbox I only received 1 key. I've lost out on 8 keys and would like to know if anything can be done to get the key's offered?
