I decided to buy dark souls prepare to die edition. I bought it in store, as a box and disk, which I installed. It also installed games for windows live. When I launched the game, it asked me to put the serial key in (which I had already done while installing) and sign in with a GFWL account, so I put the serial key in and put my Xbox Live account in. It then told me that the serial key had already been used.
After a little looking around, I found out that it was just saying that because it couldn't connect to the internet. I checked and my internet was fine. I then opened all the ports vaguely related to GFWL and dark souls I could find in the firewall, and then uninstalled and reinstalled GFWL. None of this has helped at all.
So, any ideas on how I could actually get to play the game I paid for?

It is actually possible to create an offline profile for GFWL. Microsoft seem to have done everything they could to hide the option without actually removing it, but it is nonetheless possible and not all that difficult once you know the secret.

Thanks much. I'd like to play online but I guess this is a good start.
