I'm sure bro, on Facebook the people of GMG said that it will expire this friday
That is super shitty. I know for a fact it told me I had until Jan 1st to use it. Gotta find something I want now lol

Can anyone point me towards a resource for getting a generic controller to work with Batman? I've tried a few common options from googling, but they don't work.

Yea, that's my problem. I can get the program to recognize the controller, but the game won't. I've put it in the proper library as well, I think.
I just picked up Tomb Raider using that 25% code, and got it for $33. Since it's not out yet, I just have the voucher code here on GMG, which doesn't work on Steam. At least not yet.
Troubling is that listed next to the code is "valid until: 2013-01-04." Now, is this the typical European style of date, where it goes day/month rather than month/day like here in the land of freedom? If so, then cool, that means April 1st, after the game comes out, and after I'll have already claimed it. But if not, then it's January 4th, and why the fuck would my code for a game that comes out in March expire in January?! It's April 1st, right?

If you've tried using x360ce, you have to put the DLLs it's bundled with into the game folder as well. It took me ages to work that out!
You should have used the 35 % survey voucher instead of the 25 %.
Your allotted voucher is limited to according to GMG "As soon as you receive it you will have 21 days to redeem it."
The winter survey voucher seemingly doesn't work on tomb raider now that they put that special deal on it where you can choose credit or instant cash back.

There's new 25% off voucher: GMG25-CFGY3-4THJI
My tomb raider code still isn't unlocking the game in my steam list- so is it in fact not usable until release? I really don't want this code to expire on January 4th, when it was never usable in the first place.
Though, interesting note... I don't think I was charged for Tomb Raider. I checked out and made it through the Chase verification and everything, and it emailed me my receipt and notification, as well as put the game in my account's list under both Games and Keys. But then a quick glance at my bank account reveals neither an existing charge nor a pending charge from Green Man Gaming or anything at the price it was after I used the $25 code. Odd... could that be why my code doesn't work?

Uhh... I bought it on Green Man Gaming. You seem to have misunderstood me.
I bought Tomb Raider from Green Man Gaming, using the 25% coupon code listed in this thread. Not steam, steam's not involved at all until later. I went to greenmangaming.com and used my greenmangaming.com account to purchase Tomb Raider using a coupon code.
They then added it to my account, where it's listed under both the Games tab and the Key tab, and listed next to it is a 15-digit key (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX format), which I assume is a key to activate my purchase on Steam, seeing as it is a Steamworks games that requires Steam. Tomb Raider is also listed on the Steam store for pre-purchase, which leads me to believe that since it is possible to purchase through Steam, then the key they gave me should also activate a pre-purchase on steam.
It does not.
My concern is whether or not it's supposed to, since the key was purchased through a different party than the platform holder, and the game isn't out for several months. I am further concerned because my key appears to have an expiration date of 2013-01-04, and I'm unsure of whether or not this is January 4th, or April 1st.
Does that all make sense? I'm not trying to use a Green Man Gaming coupon code to buy something through Steam. Because that would be retarded.
Are you sure that the key you got is Tomb Raider and not the 35% coupon?

I don't think you'll get the real steam key yet until you're very near the release of the game. It always work that way.
So relax, the real steam key won't expire.
And this dude could be right. What you think is the Tomb Raider key is actually the code for the 35% coupon.
Yep. I pre-purchased Football Manager from GMG and I didn't get the key until the game was about to be released.
It'll come just gotta wait!
I was about to just tell you two how stupid you were, until I decided I should probably punch that code into a basket item and see if it worked, and lo and behold, it knocked X-Com down from $50 to $32.50.
So, I guess I'm the stupid one. I'll patiently await my Tomb Raider code until March.
Also, what the hell should buy with this 35% off? X-Com is the only game this year I wanted and didn't buy. Just picked up Borderlands 2 from Gamefly's sale for $30...
EDIT: Just tried to use it on BioShock Infinite pre-purchase and it won't let me because they offer the infinitely worse $7.00 cash back on a pre-order. Weak.
Also, does anyone have any idea whether 2013-01-04 is Jan. 4th, or April 1st? Someone earlier mentioned that vouchers expire 21 days after purchase, so Jan 4th might make sense, but GMG is a British site, and those crazy fuckers write their dates with the day first and the month second. Crazy crazy Brits.
I wouldn't mind the cash back but only if they let me use that 35% coupon too. Getting TR for $23 instead of $30 would have been awesome.

You usually don't get the steam download code until the day of release almost from my experience so if it comes out in March I doubt you'll be getting it anytime soon.
I would say it's 4th Jan, because that's not their date format after looking in the wiki

Are there any voucher codes that stack with the Guild Wars 2 discount? I couldn't find one.
LossLess009

Yup, no stacking for me as well.
At 30% discount, doesn't sound like a good deal; normally it's at 18% stackable with the "common" 25% voucher or the one-time 35% (if it's still valid?)
Dishonored is now $30:
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/se/en/pc/games/action/dishonored/
The 25% code is out (don't think it stacks anyway), maybe they'll do a new one for next week.

No, they tend not to do that with higher priced games and dailies.
I just tried the voucher GMG25-CFGY3-4THJI from 2 days ago (This weeks voucher) and it didn't accept it for Dishonored so must not stack.
Quick question about Dishonored - I have the game on 360 but have only played the opening, with my PC setup I will be using a 360 controller anyway for this game. Is it worth (Considering I can sell the 360 game for £15, and buy it off GMG for PC for £15) playing on PC instead? For improved performance and graphics? Even though I will be using a 360 controller.
Thanks!

I'd say yes (provided you can pull off that trade and GMG purchase).
The game looks gorgeous on a PC, high settings with 60fps.
I played it on the highest settings (in game only, nothing 3rd party), at 1680x1050@60fps. Core 2 Duo E6600 OC to 3.2GHz, 8GB RAM and Radeon 7950 2GB.
Enjoy it!
Cheers mate! Sounds like a good idea. My specs are a bit worse than yours (CPU is a Q6600 at 3.0ghz, but only 4GB of RAM and a 6870 AMD 1GB) but I run at a lower resolution so should be fine!

It's essentially an Unreal Engine 3 game so go with the top->bottom approach.
Start with the highest possible settings and then work your way down if 60fps is unreachable.

I'm having a problem with Rayman Origins which I bought from GMG. I go through the rayman origins activation wizard by entering my key, then it says "activation successful" but after that the game doesn't launch. Does anyone run into the same problem?
