just got GT5 Academy Edition and one of the codes doesnt work, and are mixed up, installed complete pack, but cant find extra track/courses, any help on where ther are,
 
Activate them on Downloadable Content in the First menu you see, all the way to the right.

If you can't get it to work, go take it back where you bought it from and tell them about your problems

Edit -

Got to say I'm so glad I never bought this crap :D

as i said in post, iv installed complete pack. got all the cars and installed track pack but cant find them ??

You still have to install/activate the DLC from within GT5. Go to GT5's Main Menu, look for Downloadable Content, that's all the way to the right. From there you can install all the DLCs that you've downloaded.

I have tried both of my voucher codes in the PlaySationStore and neither work.

maybe the region of your GT5 Academy Edition copy is different from the region of your PSN account. If you're using a UK PSN account, make sure your GT5 copy is also UK. You can check for it by looking at the side of the box that contains the disc.

@marco0048 - have you been able to install the DLC as of now?

I bought my copy from Amazon UK. It says GB as one of the countries on the box. I have never had any problems in the past with using voucher codes on my PSN account. I have looked at a few of threads on GT Planet and it seems I am not the only one having problems.
Tried my voucher codes again today and the DLC one worked, but the Academy Challenge still no joy.

Interesting. With that, I can't think of any other cause to that problem but an error on PD's side. Hope they fix it. Soon. :dopey:
 
yes all installed, mibbies i should have made that abit clearer in 1st post, the trouble i am having is finding the new tracks/courses, should they be in A spec or sumwhere ?
 
Yeh the codes don't work how they should, the code for the special racing event gives you the DLC and the code for the DLC doesn't work at all. I can see this game being recalled, very very sloppy.

Same issue here :grumpy:
 
I haven't used my DLC code as I already have the DLC and am going to sell the code on eBay. But, I want the competition code and mine does not work. I've tried several times, triple-checked and get error message every time - pi55 poor.

i'm getting this problem too the cars and tracks and that downloaded fine but the competition code wouldn't all i can think of that the competition is due to run 1st jan 2013 till end of jan 2013 so maybe the code has to be put in closer to the time?

anyone know if this could be the reason it doesn't work??

It's a decent theory, though I thought my voucher says expires in January?!
 
yeah it expires the day the competition ends, was just a thought?

It's possible yes. Seems strange to give a code that we can't use for three months though...

I think they haven't added the challenge to the store yet, so the codes are good but they cannot link to the content and so we get an error. What do you think?

The competition starts on 01/01/13, that's when the code will work,according to PSN.
 
We're surely going to get a bunch of new queries about this due to Christmas presents and the like. I just bought this cheap (well, cheap for Norway) to get the Academy code and a backup disk (I already have all the cars and all the DLC, but I remember GT 4 wearing out on me during the endurances :crazy:), and the code doesn't work. I'd like to see the PSN post which says it will be available from 1/1/13. I'll search for it and put it here if I find it.

EDIT:
It's announced in the news section of the game from today (22/12/12): 00:01 GMT 1/1/13 until 31/1/13. Codes redeemable then.
