Where are you guys getting 45$ from? Mine says 60 with the three free games from gmg.
That 20% off code doesn't work with that deal.

Edit: oh because of the credit?

these faux deals are getting tiresome....

how about I get the game cheaper (imagine that!!) if I preorder instead of me getting x game that I probably already own or just am not interested in

I also received $14 cash back. The deal seems overall, pretty good to me but I'm sure if you wait a few months you can get it for $20-40.

Excellent.

£24 for Infinite and 3 free games.. absolutely crazy stuff. I've already thoroughly enjoyed Spec Ops, have heard great things about XCOM and am super hyped for Infinite.

Hmm ... £24 is about 28 euro, but the bundle costs 37.50 euro when I visit the GMG site. Brits like to complain about Rip Off Britain currency conversions, but UK game prices are generally better including online deals.

I'd happily pay 28 euro but 38 euro is too much.

38 Euro's for 4 arguably the superb games? I know the exchange rate is ridiculous, but come on, 38 is still a great price.

38 euro for 4 games, 2 of which of I already have on consoles. And it's still 10 euro more expensive than what Brits are paying for the same bundle.
 
Hmm should I get Infinite on GMG for $46 or on Amazon for $60 + the $30 2k money (could be good for the season pass?). Anyone know if the free games from GMG are all separate keys? Or are they one key?

I'm guessing the BioShock Infinite keys that have been given out, aren't the actual keys for the full game? But rather, some promotional thing? Just, i had no luck activating it in to steam and was wondering.

Yes, I assume so. I read that they will send out the proper game key on 26th.
 
Essentially own all the +1 games, so, assuming that +1 game will be giftable; the first one to quote gets to pick which game, and also gets said game.

Civilization V
Bioshock 2
The Darkness II
Mafia II
Spec Ops

EDIT: On another thought don't. That'll just suck all my time away and I have a lot in school this spring =) Rather somebody enjoy it right away.

Really awesome of you to do this!

Same here.

But I also did not recieve any of the other games in my library.

I ordered the Darkness 2 pack and it is not in my library. Neither is Bioshock.

Xcom is but I already bought a copy from them. Does this mean I do not get a giftable copy for a friend? If so I would rather go through Steam since I was planning on giving that to my buddy and at least there it is giftable.
 
Seems all keys are separate, meaning I've got a Bioshock and XCOM key up for grabs as well. Will give y'all who quoted a shot at them first if you're interested. In case of conflict I'll prioritize the one who quoted first, i.e Tizoc first.
Suppose I should set a timeframe. I say 24 hours. If the keys aren't snagged by this time tomorrow I'll set up another quotegiveaway.

Yet to receive the XCOM key, GMG says they'll send those out by the 26th at the latest.

If none of them want it, could I get the XCOM key?

xcom would be awesome if by some miracle it's not already gone.

Urm...no. It says it right there on the page, "Access to Onslaught Mode, Digital Art Book".

If you want the season pass you should get it off steam instead.

Damn...

Well that's the reason I was wondering, because I saw that on Steam. But I bought it on GMG because I had a lot of credits lol

I can't understand if it's already taken (I can't see it in the posts above), so I'll say Bioshock 2 anyway. :lol
 
So my Bioshock Infinite key that they sent me isn't activating on Stream, is that normal? The email they sent leads me to believe it isn't.

edit: god, I'm so confused. This key is for the puzzle game, I guess? So they'll send out keys for the actual Bioshock Infinite later?

They'll start sending out keys on release day. If their past history is anything to go by the people who preordered will get them within 5-10 days of the game coming out, while people who buy it after it releases will get their keys immediately.

Yea you didn't misread that. GMG treats their pre-order customers like absolutely dogshit.

Is there any UK gaffer that could help me buy Bioshock Infinite from the UK GMG store? You just need to buy it thorugh your UK account and then send me the Bioshock Infinite Steam key when they get it on your account. I will instapaypal and whoever helps me can chose and keep the free games to himself for the trouble as I have all the freebies myself. PM me if interested.
 
I can't say I'm too happy with GMG's so far, their Bioshock Infinite bundle page makes no reference to the fact that they're going to deliver the keys at a later date and the email they sent me with my bundle games is totally fucked. The Darkness 2 link they provide to "download" just leads to a generic Steam FAQ page and completely lacks an activation key.

The keys for the freebies are on your GMG account on the keys tab. Bioshock keys will be there too as soon as GMG gets them from the publisher.

Contact their support. The Darkness 2 key bug hit my order too. Just tell them that you didn't get the key and they'll send it to you.

Not denying those experiences have happened to others, but just want to say that isn't always the case. I preordered Borderlands 2 and Tomb Raider on GMG and got my keys for both games a few days before their respective release dates and was able to preload. Hopefully this will be the same.
