Here's another 25% off code for d2d: sizzle

I think this one only works in the US though, can be used for other games as well.

(The Witcher 2 is $33 with this code on d2d)

There's also a Brink and Fallout: New Vegas Digital CE bundle here:

Using that code above you pretty much get NV for free and a little of Brink ta boot.

Suppose I should post this in the special offers thread, too. :rofl:

thanks buddy :) i just got brink for 37 canadian thanks to that code! was on the fence about this one but at that price why not? Plus it uses steamworks anyways...

Why is it cheaper in Euro?!

It's still 49.99$ here. D:

If you buy it from Direct2Drive and use the code "sizzle" you get 25% off, making it $37.46 ... and you still have to use Steam to download it so that would be the route to go. I am attempting it now to see if it works in Canada.

it does i just did it. and no tax for us :)

also i like that this game is only about 5.5gbs. only have so much room on my win7 partition on my macbook :)

Just log into your account and you should be able to get it.

Nope. Must be different for D2D UK....

Brink North America is now ready to Preload. Visit your My Account page to get your key and download. The release date has not changed. The game will unlock on May 10th, 2011.

Which is totally gay :(

At least you can order it, i just tried to buy it from D2D using paypal and they wanted me to put my phone number in so they could give me a pin to authorise the transaction, it wouldnt ring me now im locked out from buying it till i contact customer services. Im not jumping through hoops for it.

My housemate had huge issues ordering from D2D - wouldn't accept his CC, nor would it accept his PayPal. Strangely worked when he placed the order on my PC instead of his. I don't think I will be ordering from them again, I just wanted to grab this one discount.

the only way i get games from them is if they are steamwork games and i can get a nice pre-order discount for them

So after playing for a while, I've come to one conclusion: don't bother with this game if you're a single player gamer. The AI teammates suck.. They die a lot (which means you will die a lot), and they often get distracted by the enemies and apparently forget about whatever objective you're trying to accomplish. I got quite frustrated a number of times when we were supposed to be guarding a robot or planting an explosive charge or whatever, but not able to continue since my teammates weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing.

The game is definitely geared toward multiplayer co-op rather than solo play. I haven't played online yet (and can't until release), so I can't really judge that any further.

For those interested, I uploaded a video of the first mission:
