Oh hell yes!!!

Dont worry about D2D, I have bought quite a few things from there, and all of them have activated on Steam, making it no different than buying from Steam itself.

Can anyone confirm if you can activate this on Steam?

No, it can't be activated on Steam. I think it can be activated on Impulse (Impulse accepted the key from a Steam copy, so D2D keys should be the same).

There aren't actually all that many Steam-activatable titles on D2D, you've probably been pretty lucky in your selection. You can of course add anything as a non-Steam game into Steam to get the overlay, etc. but you won't be able to download or install it through Steam.

This is pretty tempting but I think I'll wait for Steam to get down to this price.

it's been on sale on steam multiple times, i wouldnt wait (especially at $5, when is that ever gonna happen again)

Can anyone confirm it activates on impulse? Impulse is exactly like steam right? I had it for Demigod but don't have it installed right now.

Thanks i dont check the d2d site very often and would have missed this otherwise

Good catch. I'm going to wait for an inevitable steam sale too - now that they're doing midweek sales all the time now the chances are even better. If not, I'm sure it'll be around next Christmas.

This is a very good price, but D2D pissed me off so much last year during their anniversary sale where I went back and forth for their support for weeks, TRYING to buy games from them with no luck. I just don't want to give them any money any more.

my steam copy couldn't also be registered on impulse, that's the first I've heard of it also registering on impulse

I googled it and saw this link http://forums.stardock.com/366960 . I guess they don't have the steam keys so I'm not sure if D2D will work.

This game uses GFWL SSA (Yay no activation limits but its) bound to 1 gamer tag. I have heard that all versions can also be activated on impulse maybe it was only retail...

Freakin A... that's a hot price! I already own it for PS3 but I think I'll Goozex my copy and buy this if I can get it to work decently on my PC.

I just tried to activate my key on Impulse with no luck. So it seems that is not the case, or I just have a key that doesn't allow it.

I saw this suggestion to do it in a steam thread about getting the patch working, which made me curious to try it. It worked fine for me, going into the menu->"Register a product..." then clicking the "Add Registration" button down at the bottom and choosing Red Faction Guerrilla from the drop-down list (Impulse doesn't seem to be able to detect what a serial key is for automatically). Copy-pasted the key from Steam's "View game CD Key" option. And Impulse added it to my "My Games" list as "Available".

I got RFG from Steam during the holiday sale as a daily deal, so maybe high demand meant they were dipping into a different source of keys than usual?

Just running around destroying buildings with the mines makes the game worth it.

I had so much fun!

And that hammer is awesome.

its not separate, Batman AA and Fallout 3 for pc show up on my xbox 360 achievement points

lol, I just tried to checkout and they want me to go through customer service or something, screw them I'll just wait for the inevitable steam sale so I'm not kicking myself later.

Are we all sure this can unlock gfwl achievements.. Does that feature work on windows XP?

I'd like to buy it, but I don't know how many of these services I want to get attached to. I guess $5 is a worthy test drive, but NO MORE!

I just had that same issue. Screw them, it is a $5 transaction. Not like I stole someones credit card to spend $5.

Same here, and I tried to pay through paypal. Oh well. Nuts to this.

I went the paypal route, thinking it would be the most hassle free, so much for that.
