And at the last minute, GMG gets Skyrim. It's currently $54

Had problems trying to make a payment too. Wouldn't accept my credit card, and it got locked after trying. Also couldn't use my paypal account as it's not verified either. Took awhile to finally have an order to get through.

At least they got it before December.

Holy God! I didn't believe you so I had to check for myself. This is awesome news. My g/f is going to be pissed. Between Skyrim and SR3, I will become a recluse for a long time.

It is redeemable on Steam by the way.

Does anyone know when they are giving out keys? I would like to preload this game.

I saw on the site it said that they were giving out keys the day of release but I took Friday off of work, so I am going to be up on midnight on Thursday to play.

Meh... They planned it out and ended the PERFE-CTPRE-ORDR2 promo this morning...

Yeah, D2D still has the better deal right now for US customers since you don't have to pay the conversion fee. C'mon GMG, give us another code!

It wouldn't let me pay with Paypal this time either. No way I'm linking Paypal to my bank account to save a few bucks on Saint's Row 3. So I use my Visa and it gets blocked. Then I get a robo-fraud alert call, but miss the number I'm supposed to call back. I call the number on the back of my CC and they tell me their system is down. Then the next morning, the issuing bank freezes my CC when my wife was out shopping with her friends. Glorious shopping experience, Green Man Gaming! At least a phone call to the CC company straightened everything out. After a couple of attempts with the CS rep monitoring the transaction online as I placed it, I was finally able to make the order go through. But Holy Hell, it's a pain in the ass to buy anything from that site!

So you get a code you can redeem on Steam and preload?

Yes. Skyrim uses full Steamworks, so every retail and DD key has to be entered into Steam to play.

Obviously, what I was asking was if you received the key at time of purchase and if it was possible to enter the key now and preload the game.

The way you worded it, it sounded like you weren't sure you got a Steam code at all. But either way, according to the product page, you get the key the day the game releases.

OP updated. Figures the one day I am insanely busy they drop a bomb like this.

Looks like not waiting and hoping for some crazy GMG Skyrim deal was the way to go, I bit on D2D a couple weeks back.

you know anything about an upcoming promo code?

Nope. Best guess would be a code for a couple dollars cheaper after the game releases.

Does D2D give you a code to redeem on Steam? The reason I ask is because it doesn't say on their page that you need to use Steam to play the game whereas if you look at Dead Island it says you need it. I was hesitant to buy it from D2D cause I wanted to get it on Steam.

It is a Steamworks game so all copies must be registered on Steam. They will give you a key and pre-loading is active now.

I must have missed something, what is this conversion fee people are talking about?

GMG is from the UK, remember.
This would be an International deal here.
There's a currency fee, from most banks - for switching from one currency [such as Pounds, Euros, etc] to another [US Dollars].
