Just got an email from them with a code for a free copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and a choice of a free game of either Mafia II, Civilization V or The Darkness 2! And a code for BioShock Infinite Industrial Revolution mini puzzle game. All for €29.29, bargain!

I sent them an email asking is there a free copy of xcom and bioshock 1 and they just copy and pasted the text on the bioshock infinite page which didn't mention either of them.

Yeah me too.
They always do stuff like that. I don't know why people always overlook that site.

You were lucky, my wife , and indeed some of my friends followed the Bioshock infinite website in October to the bioshock infinite Songbird edition order from game.co.uk. When you pick ireland this was where you were sent.

That was October.

21st of Feb game.co.uk cancelled the pre order. Apparently they will not ship 1KG out of the UK and could not be bothered to tell anyone when they were putting in the original order, anyone else have this experience ? I assume there are more pre-order people here as well ?

Anyway, blogged about it, no point putting it into a walled garden.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what is the season pass? Is it the name of DLC or is it an actual pass for something?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

you basically pre buy all the dlc for the game and i thinkt he discount works out that you get one of them for free

It's a discount for all future DLC yet to be released.

Grand stuff. The description on Steam seemed like it was phrased really badly (or I could be stupid. Either's possible).

Gamersgate has mine too now, thanks for letting me know, they didn't email me :P

Oh well, the store credit is more then the cheaper price, gamersgate has a decent selection, no worries.

This is only 50 quid in store at symths. Not bad at all really.

Works out at €29.29 on PayPal, that is an awesome price however I just purchased it and they won't release the activation code until 26/03/2013 01:01 AM British Time, which means you can't pre-load it.

I just got a key off them Pre-loading now.

Remember not to trust this review. It was more than likely a paid exclusive, hence the pre-embargo review.

Not that I expect the game to be anything other than excellent, of course, but it's a shame 'exclusive' reviews are still a thing in 2013.

Did anyone pre-order this for PS3? I was about to do it on Gamestop because they were offering the original Bioshock as a bonus, but they seem to have withdrawn it now. So I went with Amazon instead, who still seem to be offering it. Hopefully it'll be the PS3 version because I have the Bioshock 2 through PS+ and would be nice to own all 3 on the 1 console

Can't believe this is even allowed, if it was any other game i'd be very skeptical

I can't understand why publishers do this, it's just telling us that the reviewers are shills.

I preordered the steelbook edition off them on thursday but after checking my order now it just says bioshock infinite pre order yet it's still the same price.

Going to get onto them to make sure I get the right version.

Anyone gotten their key from GreenManGaming? Their site's down and they stated before they were disabling the key section of users' accounts since it was causing the site to crash and that they were gonna email them instead. Still haven't gotten my email, really want to start the pre-load since the download's fairly hefty, 17GB.

Mr Blobby

Few questions before I order from GamesPlanet.

Do I get to pre-load.

Are the free games Steam redeemable.

And is there any where who let me Pre-load and get free games

Thanks.
