Will the code for the Terminus Armor be given to you outside of the box? (Standard edition)

They usually give you a card with the game when you pick it up from the store.  If they claim to have "run out" threaten to call their manager, as they should get one card per pre-order.  If they have run out, it means they have been hording them for themselves or giving them to friends.  The one time this happened to me, I let them know that if they didn't find my card, I would start with their manager, and then work my way upwards until my codes were forthcoming.  The second clerk suddenly "remembered" where they had a second stack or them. <_<
If you have ordered off the internet, which I now do, your codes will be emailed to you.  I've alway gotten mine on release day, though I have heard of delays of up to a week.

These days they seem to have the card in the box itself, much like Dragon Age Origins.



This stops the "hoarding" that Sbri mentioned since they'd have to open sealed boxes to get them.

GameStop's employees do tend to open new games for them to play for a bit and then try to sell it as new later on

Hi, I was told by the Gamestop clerk or manager the preorder gun & armor will be inside the game box. When I pick up my order I going to asked where my preorder card.

Eh, I guess if you're paranoid open the box in the store. There won't be that much they can do about it right at the store since they shouldn't have any "loose" codes on hand. They'd probably have to fill out some sort of report and get one sent to you.

The code will most likely be in the box just like with Dragon Age and the blood dragon armor.

Please feel free to correct me on this, but I'm not sure how the codes could be in the box. You get the codes for pre-ordering. They are not standard to every edition. How could the codes be in the box?
The codes for Stone Prisoner being in the box makes sense as every new copy regardless of when it was ordered, was to receive them.  But for the actual pre-order bonus stuff, I understood the cards were separate.  I received my Stone Prisoner as cards in my box.  But my pre-order bonus items were emailed, as there was no way I could receive cards, as I ordered for the website.

My Dragon Age cards were not inside the box except for the Shale bonus.

I asked the gamestop clerk for extra's & offered to pay him for them. More than likely they come on a separate card

This.

Everyone who just posted that the preorder bonuses would be inside the boxes, seriously. Think it through. What, you think they specially, at the factory, manufactured a select few copies to have special codes inside? Then made sure the exact right number of these special Terminus-bundled copies ended up in exactly the right stores to fulfil all the preorders? The Dragon Age Blood Dragon Armour and Shale codes were in every single brand new copy, and still are today. They were nothing to do with preordering.

They generate a ton of codes, print them onto cards or slips of paper, and send thousands of them to Gamestop HQ. Gamestop HQ then sends each of their branches either a) a huge pile or  at least as many as the number of preorders that store has taken.
