damn it, i was lied to... they really are bad at it... i'll have to check up with him again... that sucks..
sorry about the misinformation, my contact told me game codes were usually updated at midnight pst. he tought since the game wasn't on at update it might've been pushed to that time, but seems he was mistaken and sony just did not have the codes inputed, must be a comm issue...
so the codes are valid, just inactive for now again...
