You get to try the game (without gameplay limitations like there would be for a demo) for free for the weekend. You like? You buy!
Free weekend trials are usually no different from the retail game -- there's nothing additional to download if you end up buying it -- it just unlocks the game permanently in your library. It's nice because what you play is representative of the current game instead of some beta-ish prelease version.

Sorry if old...
Symphony releases 6th August 2012. 20% off pre-orders (looking at Origin, it's about £6.49 full price)

All these games are Steamworks, so if you want to save some money GMG usually offer 20-35% on pre-orders.
Hey guys, got a little question here I hope someone can answer.
Me and my friend are looking at buying a two pack of Orcs Must Die 2 and I thought it would be a good idea to let someone in US buy it for us so we would save some money. But after adding it to your cart the "Purchase as a gift" is grayed out. If you pick purchase for myself do you get two giftable copies in your inventory or will one automatically be added to the buyers account?

You seriously need to hop on GMG.
its funny, because a great deal games like that have been pretty successful. Even Jade Empire sold pretty well iirc.
I don't know if I should preorder Borderlands 2. I've only played like 3 hours of Borderlands 1 (and loved every second of it!), and have 9 games in my backlog before giving my full attention to it. So maybe it'll be best to wait some time (and maybe get a little discount), as I won't be playing it for a long while.

Any TF2 items planned?

Thanks I'm in the U.S but for some reason GMG doesn't accept my card neither does Paypal work, I've tried so many times. Dishonored $59......oh well it's original enough to have my money.
It being $40 at GMG (with the -20% code) is tempting, but I still have to work through the DLC in the original, so I think I'll just wait until the Winter/Christmas sale. Plus, I have Sleeping Dogs and Dark Souls to purchase in the near future. They should do well to lead me into Dishonored, which itself will lead into Assassin's Creed 3, which will lead into Half-Li.. oh, right.
Have you tried contacting Support? GMG is known to be rather... overzealous with flagging accounts/purchases as suspicious.
Any chance of pre-order bonuses, or are you guys only going to offer that for Gamestop :\

I'm on the fence if I should double dip and get Dark Souls for $32. I played around 15 hours on PS3 but I never finished it.

Adam, any reason the cost on GMG is $50 without any discount code, while Steam its $60?
If you're on the fence just wait, there's a good possibility that the port isn't going to be the greatest. I'm going to wait and see how it is and if it's good pick it up eventually and if it's bad I'll just stick with my PS3 version.
That's what I thought, I don't usually spend $60 on a game, but this looked interesting and original so I figured why not. Hopefully I won't be pissed off when it comes out like BF3.

You just quoted me and I told you what the Preorder item was.

Is the Orcs Must Die DLC worth getting?
im probably gonna wait for a sale. The GFWL thing has me really turned off.
It's dumb, but I'm disappointed that OMD2 doesn't have TF2 hats. And I'm half hoping Borderlands doesn't have TF2 hats because I preordered somewhere else.
For 1.25, yea. I found the weapons/traps useful and the maps are alright. You'll need the maps if you plan on upgrading everything.

The $.75 looks like it's worth it, the other one not so much. Just adds a few weapons while the other adds more levels and other stuff.
I would love to know the requirements for slapping a "GOTY" tag on a game. Does it actually even need to be named GOTY by some outlet? I'm fine with "deluxe" or "complete" edition, but how did GOTY get to be synonymous with those?

I've never actually played Orcs Must Die... is it... good? I like the idea of a simpler tower defence, like Dungeon Defenders but singleplayer friendly, and without the confusing loot.

I meant something beyond what every vendor gets. Like this:
Not that I'm aware of. That is a GS only thing but it will be available to everyone in other avenues later on.
We wanted to keep the preorder item stuff to a minimum so there is only 2 possibilities.
Yes, it's very good, there is a demo if you want to try it first.
Keep in mind that the sequel comes out in just a week and adds co-op and endless mode, though owning the original unlocks 10 maps from it for co-op play.

I like how it uses your own music. May check it out when it's released.
And yet Gamestop pre-orders get both of the 2 possibilities (at least that was my impression from reading their product page). It's just a bit grating that the worst purchasing option from a PC gamer standpoint gets the best pre-order bundle.
Hopefully the GS bonus will be available at no cost to everyone later.
I found that in my library this morning too...have to find a way to hide it along with the other betas that I never asked for like CS:GO and DOTA2 alpha -_-
Get out of my games list, little beta.

FYI On 4 packs:
Through 7/30:
Borderlands GOTY - $7.49 Steam + get 10% credit towards your Borderlands 2 pre-order (stacks with current 10% off)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008OWV050/?tag=neogaf0e-20 - Borderlands 2 4-pack everyone who purchases Borderlands GOTY or who has ever purchased borderlands GOTY from us will get a $18 credit towards this pre-order. Stacks with existing 10% off (existing 10% off will be live in 30 minutes). So this comes to about $36 per copy if you have ever purchased Borderlands GOTY from us (or if you buy it for $7.49 this weekend)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ALUBYQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20 - Borderlands 2 single - Borderlands 2 4-pack everyone who purchases Borderlands GOTY or who has ever purchased borderlands GOTY from us will get a $6 credit towards this pre-order. Stacks with existing 10% off. So this comes to about $48 per copy if you have ever purchased Borderlands GOTY from us (or if you buy it for $7.49 this weekend)

Do either Borderlands 2 discounts apply towards the box retail version?

that's a shame, I was hoping for some TF2 weapons based on Borderlands.

Since it's Steamworks, do we get a key to plug into Steam on purchase, or is that available when the game is released?
Same. Oh well, I think GMG is going to end up being the most attractive option for me, unless someone here is able to buy a 4-pack from Amazon with the "loyalty discount" (I bought BL1 from Steam way back in the day).

You get a steam key when the game launches (or is available for pre-load if the game is available for pre-load not sure on this one).
You won't get charged until we deliver this code.

I don't think you're ever given a key until release.
