When I go to the http://xbox.com/redeemcode page and try to redeem the Fallout 3 code that came with my copy of Fallout 4 I just get an error code.
Xbos-0x80153016
Unfortunately there is no accompanying message explaining what this code means.

Have you tried clearing the system cache? You may have a corrupt update that causes the problem.
Only certain versions have been able to get away with playing without the disc. Bethisda released an official Fallout 3 patch (1.7) which is supposed to remove the need for the CD and get rid of that error.
Go to http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/updates.php. (You might need to specify your age first, and then reload the above URL) and download and install the patch, see if it solves the problem.

The problem seems to be that the region of the Xbox website had defaulted back to "English (United States)". Once I changed it to my own region "English (United Kingdom)", I was able to redeem the code without issue.
