Nvm figured it out. The codes were set to expire only a year after the controller's release. It's been 17yrs since it came out but I hope you disclose stuff like this on the boxes of your modern gear. It'd suck to buy something a year later & not get what you paid for.
Woah! That's ancient tech for sure. Even we don't have those in our deep storage vault. Also, are those games even available anymore? What console? Xbox 360?
