D2D offers BioShock and Saints Row 2 for $5/


Recommended Posts

By Patrick Garratt

The second week of Direct 2 Drive?s birthday sale has brought some proper bargains: BioShock and Saints Row 2 are both on offer for $5 or ?5 each.

The UK version?s here. Get on it. There?s plenty of other stuff there besides. We?re buying Saints Row 2 right now. Despite the fact we already own it. That?s how cheap it is.

I kicked myself for passing up on Steam selling Bioshock for dirt cheap last year. Time to grab it this t(Y) though (Y)

SR is a major skip, terrible game to start with and the PC port is even worse than GTA IV from what I've been told.

I might pick up Bioshock though, been looking to replay that sucker :D

Honestly have no idea, but I'll let you know once my download has finished. Right now I am just using Firefox to download a 6GB zip file and my serial key is in my account. So looks like it's just a normal installer?

Total cost is $5.75 (?3.46, I think cheaper than Steam's offer), and they accept paypal(Y)).

Good cause I'm fed up with all these digital distribution sites offering their own ****ty application that I have to install alongside steam.

Yeah I'm pretty certain all versions of Bioshock use Securom (i.e retail discs, Steam and D2D). You have to activate before you start the game.

When the game originally came out it was limited to 3 activations, but they changed that. It's unlimited now, but you still gotta do it.

Just fyi, the zip file just extracts all the setup files as if you had cloned the retail disc. No bloated software (Y)
Nice! Gota buy this later today.

I was holding out on Steam offering the xmas offer again ($5) at the launch of Bioshock 2, if it released this year. I think they'll still do that eventually in 2010 though.

from some googling it seems d2d used to use starforce, if they still do thats a good enough reason not to bother imo, not to mention its drm free on steam and bioshock will probably be part of the bioshock 2 preorder offer on steam

D2D is such a **** site, tried to order something there for the first time today (NFS shift) and it kept saying transaction failed for no reason and I could not figured out why, turns out it was because my account was using a gmail address, made a new account with my school email and it worked.
