you got my hopes up thinking it was at $5 somewhere.

Only word from GMG on their forum regarding Dishonored keys is they will be sent out on the "day of release". Keep forgetting to check there when I'm looking for info.

That is pretty much the line they specify for all games, some (many) just happen to release earlier. It is smart on their part as it helps manage expectations a bit. There are already a ton of people on their forums who constantly "threaten" to cancel their orders if they don't get a key several days before release. People are so weird and bitchy sometimes.

Sorry, it was a hypothetical price. Undoubtedly it will be $5 at some point in the future, that's what I was talking about.

Looks like XCOM pre-orders (NA only) will now also be getting a $10 GMG credit, including people who pre-ordered earlier. Turning into a pretty sweet deal if you took advantage of the free game trade-in for the discounted price.

GMG keeps on getting better. Would love to get Dishonored for $35 with that $10 credit.

GMG has some $.49 games on sale with other games priced higher. The 49 cent games are nothing special but might be good for future trade-ins?

Any idea when the $10 credit will be showing up in accounts? Cause if its soon I'll hold off and wait to pre-order Dishonored til I get it.

Edit: just read within 24 hours of the games launch. :/ oh well saving 25% by itself on dishonored is still a good deal.

I'm so torn on preordering Dishonored. I want it, I really do, but it comes out the same day as XCom which I have preordered already. My buy it now price for Dishonored is $40. Yet I still can't stop thinking of just ordering it at $45 heh.

Is this to match the free civ 5 elsewhere?


Edit Nm looks like you get civ 5 too. Wow and they will be issuing keys soon for preload.

It is indeed both offers. Combine this with the earlier trade-in deal to get it for $38 and this has been a fantastic deal. They also seem to be learning from past mistakes and are communicating early about keys which is nice.

Just bought XCOM when I saw that $10 credit deal. I was surprised that they gave me a Steam key immediately and I activated with no problems. Pre-loading the game as we speak!

It's annoying how they always do that and screw preorder buyers.

Yeah, the lack of consistency was what had me hesitant to preorder at first. I'm glad it worked out for me but it's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be consistency in terms of handing out keys. I imagine, though, that it's only a matter of time until they send out keys to other folks.

Pre-ordered Dishonored. My wallet is crying but the good news is there isn't any other big games coming out this year on my radar.

Regarding XCOM pre-loading from GMG:

"We can now announce that pre-loading will be available from Green Man Gaming. Keys for all those who have pre-purchased will start going out in approximately 7 hours time from now, at 0200 UTC October 6th. Please remain calm if you do not receive your key immediately."

Man, after playing the XCOM demo, it left me wanting more. I'll wait a month, got a feeling it'll be $30 by then.

Past GreenManGaming customers:
Your best guess - how soon until GMG sells Dishonored for $36? (Currently $45 after promo code.)

Got my Xcom key and preloading now.

To answer your question Bizzquik I would say its hard to guess and it will partly depends on how successful the game is.

I just got my Xcom key wondering when they will be giving out them $10 credit.
