Can you redeem coupon code online at steampowered.com? I couldn't find it if there is such an option.
Capcom and Lucas Arts are posting codes and I can't even try it because I'll always be at work when they post it.

A lot of those games use Steam as DRM. I'm sure Valve gets paid a little bit for each game that requires Steam. For games that don't use Steam as DRM I bet that the publishers have to pay Valve for each game unlocked, so you don't see it happen very often even though many of us would like to see more games you can put in the CD key to unlock.
I think the best thing we can hope for is that more publishers just use Steam as DRM, we are starting to see it happen with some big games like Dawn of War 2, FEAR 2 and Empire Total War so it seems like some publishers are warming up to the idea. Most gamers are much more accepting of Steam as DRM as opposed to most other types, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see more and more new games that require you to put the CD key into Steam.

From that list:
"Silent Hill Homecoming CD Keys in this format: 1AB2C-D3FGH-456I7-JK8LM-NOP9Q"
WTF? I thought the PC version of SH:H was a Steam-only release, and had no retail release anywhere. Googling seems to confirm that. Why is there an entry for that on the third-party page?

Hey folks,
Haven't checked in awhile so why not. How much is your Steam account worth?

I get "This account is private" for my account. Do you know what that means? It's not private to my knowledge.

I really haven't spent that much money on Steam and for whatever reason my free Trackmania copy upgraded itself without me paying a dime so that's pretty sweet I guess!

Probably it's because you're using a nickname or something similar.
Try using your Profile_ID: http://www.steamcalculator.com/faq.php it worked for me.

I thought Braid was clever, but Portal was way better. It's also an excellent deal if you get it as part of the Orange Box (all of the other games are good in it). Portal is neat in a witty way, without being artsy in an obnoxious fashion. There are also extra challenges (and achievements) and some downloadable maps, I believe, if you want replay.Oli said:

$579.54, At least on the calculator, not the actual amount paid.

I guess I didn't realize you were asking for 360 (if I understand correctly). Do you mind if I ask why you're not interested in the others? I can totally understand if you're not a FPS fan (thus no HL2, and 360 TF2 is apparently lousy), but then you're apparently not so against FPSes that you would forgo portal.Oli said:

You must change your misguided ways and want the entire orange box, it's really the best thing to come out in the last 5 years, and that includes the Slap Chop.
Blizzard said:
I'm asking about the Steam version, sadly I have no 360.
I generally avoid most first person shooters, with exceptions here and there. Just not a huge fan of the genre, and can only take it in small bites. I wouldn't consider Portal a FPS though anymore than I would Metroid Prime. I took it to be more of a first person puzzle game.
You would be correct, it's not much of a shooter. I was braindead and didn't make the obvious Steam connection.Oli said:
You missed out on the $10 (I think) Orange Box Steam sale a while back. Portal is a great game, but I would say $10 or $15 for it alone would be reasonable.
Blizzard said:
Ah, thanks.
I will probably wait for a sale, hopefully that will happen. Now that I've had the option (and sadly passed it up) for half the current price, it would be hard to accept the $20 charge. Unless I get desperate enough.
Any other games you all would recommend? Note that my laptop can only handle so much.

Hmm, I'm using custom URL and I can't find that long number anywhere. I'd remove the custom URL, but I don't want to. :lol
EDIT: actually, it won't let me remove the custom URL.
And I'm not set to private. Weird.

That's like the most bizarre account I've ever seen. I had to click it. And when I saw you only had .2 hours played in the last 2 weeks, I clicked on the link to see all your games. So then I started clicking on all your games with achievements. You have almost nothing. Most games have zero achievements. Crazy. It's a fitting user name, though.

you see the custom url in your control panel page?
The way I fixed it was to change my custom URL to a bunch of numbers and then check the thing. You can always change it straight back once you're done. Not sure why it won't let you change the custom URL though. Are you sure you're in Edit Profile and not View Profile?gregor7777 said:
