Can't get XCOM lower than 36€ on GMG, still cheaper to get it from Amazon US. Ugh
Why is it being cheaper via Amazon US a bad thing?

I hoped I could buy it even cheaper from GMG, obviously
Ah, I thought you were hesitant to purchase from Amazon, haha.

they won't be getting keys for either XCOM or Dishonored until the day of release

nah, Amazon and me... we cool. It's just that everybody's posting those $32 deals and I have to pay $13 more.

Ok so how does this work? I'm new to GMG. AFAIK, there's no site like steamprices.com where I can check the various regional price differences. If Dishonored truly is 22.50GBP, would it be possible for someone to buy this and then send me the code after I PayPal him/her? Or is it cheaper on the US store? (I'm from EU and here it's 37.5EUR which is ~30GBP or ~48USD).

God damn it. I wanted to play Dishonored first at midnight. These guys need to get their shit together, they're worthless to me if they can't get me reduced prices or at the very fucking least give me my key before it releases.
Oh well I guess it's a plus that they let us know beforehand now instead of the Sleeping Dogs fiasco where it took until 1pm of the day it came out to get the keys to some people.
People use GMG to buy games at full price? I thought that was the only reason to purchase games from them. It's the only reason I use GMG anyway. I don't mind getting the key a little late if I can continue buying retail games for $30 at launch.
No the main reason I use them is for the deals. I actually bought Xcom on Steam for $50 even though it was $45 on GMG since they shafted me out of a deal. At least on Steam I didn't have to use my CC and I got Civ 5 for free. I got Dishonored on GMG for $48 but I'm waaaay more excited for that than Xcom so I wanted to play that first on midnight. Now we'll probably have to wait until mid day again and that's not factoring in the download time.
Anyone know which titles are excluded from this? I notice on their hot deals page where this is listed, they say "Excludes certain other PC download titles". I fancy picking up Borderlands 2 and Endless Space (which are both Steamworks I believe) and this voucher would make it cheaper than retail disc.
Can't say for sure but I bought BL2 with a previous voucher so it most probably work.
The only game I know for sure that doesn't work is X-Com. You can always try it, put the game in the cart and use the code to see if it reduce the price. If you want to buy two games I think you need to do two seperate transactions to use the code on both games.
That's kinda weird. Seems to be accurate though... trying it now.
Just bought Dishonored, no problems. 50€ on Steam or 45$ on GMG, hard choice.
Went for Hitman as well, 33.75$, what a steal.

Yep. Hitman for $33 is a steal.
What other big games are coming out that are on GMG? I've already pre-ordered X-Com, Dishonored, and Hitman, but nothing else really comes to mind aside from AC3.

Yay! GMG comes through again.
Dishonored for $45.00 flat. Not bad.

Metro: Last Light for 45$, though I'm gonna wait until we are closer to release.
Or Aliens: Colonial Marines for 37.50.
Does it come with Sniper Challenge?
Yes.

Are you sure or is it a regional thing? I'm pretty sure I remember reading in their info section that it wasn't there.

I'm not sure if you get it when you get your other keys, but I'm in the US and they definitely don't give it to you when you purchase.

So what's up with this £22.50 Dishnonored deal? Is there any way I can get in on this, PayPal someone or something?
It's the "not until release day" thing that gets me. I'm going to wait and see what happens with Fry's first, and if it's not $50 from them or anything (and I don't catch wind of bad impressions or anything) I'll just grab it on GMG.

Did you get a separate code for this? I preordered Hitman on GMG and got no codes whatsoever (North America)
Yes, I have the code under keys on my GMG profile. Got it right away with my order being confirmed.

Hmmm Hitman is showing in my games list but theres nothing in my keys section. I just opened a ticket with GMG support to be sure

I'm holding off wondering if it's any good. When's the embargo up, anyone know?

xcom and dishonored 25% off, good thing I waited
No day-1 need for them as well since they are nice slow SP games so I am good.
Unless many of us are mistake, I don't think you can apply the 25% off to X-com

Oh. I'm in North America, so perhaps it's a regional thing?
Uhh, I've always bought games from here and not had a problem. Bought XCOM and Dishonored just a few days ago, but since yesterday I can't buy anything. Payment keeps failing :/. I usually use paypal, thats not working. Tried 3 different cards, all failing. Anyone know how to fix? In the Uk if that makes any difference.

Yeah, 2k America are being dicks, 2k Europe doesn't care (since they know it'll probably be available for sub-£20 shortly after release anyway).
Yeah, it was like that for me the whole day, it works eventually but it really is a hassle.
I hope it fixes for me soon, I tried buying Sonic CD yesterday and it wouldn't work. Trying Hitman today and its still failing
.I just checked and it says SC is included, so that's good to know. I still don't know if I should buy it now, as I still have to finish the previous Hitman games (I played Blood Money a long time ago, but recently got the collection on Steam; started the first one but it's kinda boring). I also don't know if the game will get a 30% off in the near future, or if it's worth paying the current discounted price ($33.75) to have Sniper Challenge.

Interested here as well. PM me UK GAF. Let's make this happen.
A brand new game for that price is a steal, even if it gets cheaper it can't be by much. Go for it!

Ugh, I called 2 of my banks and both of them claim they didn't decline shit, GMG isn't processing it correctly or something. -_- Sigh. Oh well vodka time cause of spending 4 hours trying to buy this game and not a single reply from GMG's SHIT CS.
