GameStop is selling the Alan Wake Collector Edition download at 66% off today as part of this week's Impulse Flash Sale. It's only for the first 500 people. Alan Wake is a Steamworks game so you will receive a key to redeem there.

Sale is live

Any guesses on how much this will be in the steam summer sale? It seems like it's been on sale a lot lately on Steam, Amazon and now here. I think I'll hold out for $7.50.

its live now if you want it

Hah, it's not even 10 AM. Failure.

I know...i grabbed one...ive been on the fence about getting it...i know it will be cheaper...but i kinda want to play it now

Just purchased it; wait for the email confirmation Impulse sends you as it has the serial number in it. This means you don't have to install any client.

Might be a summer sale on Steam soon enough...and more than 500 available.

Even at 75% off that'd be $8.75. It's a relatively new release so I don't see it dropping below 66% off on Steam. Maybe on Amazon when they're competing during the summer sale, but even then, $8.75 is the lowest I see this going until there's a price drop.

I think a lot of people get confused on this point because all their webpages seem to have the generic message

* GameStop App must be installed in order to download software.

Got it. Thanks

Its a steamworks game you don't have to use gamestops app.

Thanks op, ended up grabbing a copy and activated it on steam. I figure even if it does go cheaper during Steams summer sale, I'll have only lost a few dollars.

Are you sure? I received my order confirmation, but it does not have a software key. The email tells me I have to install the app and get the key from there.

Yeah, just bought it and got the e-mail within a minute. The cd key was right there in the e-mail right under the name of the game. I just copied and pasted it into steam and it activated just fine.

I guess I will have to contact them, because other than an order number, this is all that was listed under "Product":

Alan Wake Collector's Edition Quantity: 1 $11.89

Well I just read in the steam deals thread here http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...16274&page=216 and they also bought the game but had to download the client to get the key to activate it on steam. Kinda weird some people are getting the key in the e-mail but others have to go through impulse.

Just ordered a new kick-ass CPU (i7-2600 Sandy Bridge) for my rig, so I'm all over this. Thanks OP!

That's what happened when I bought Saints Row The Third back in March thru Impulse (Gamestop).

The key was viewable after I had installed the Gamestop app. I just copied it and activated thru Steam. You won't need to download it thru the Gamestop app.

Edit: I also purchased a game add-on that displayed the key directly in the e-mail but the main game key required the Impulse app. to view.

Thanks for the link...looks like I will have to install the app after all...
