Was on g2play and noticed that they have a borderlands cd key for sale (bought from them before and they were good). I heard before the game was released that borderlands was't going to have a cd key (apart from steam version but it says no steam activation). It would be easier for me just to buy a copy for me and then buy a cd key for each of my friends from g2play but i'm not sure how that would work if the game doesn't even use a cd key :S

Maybe it gives you a link to download the game from the 2K website or something? Has anybody bought it from g2play and can tell me what happens?
 
Why not buy the game on Steam as a gift for your friends ?

steam is £30, it's only £13 on g2play :)

I can get a retail for £25 and then if i could buy from g2play for my friends it would work out much cheaper overall. As I have said above tho i'm not sure how this would work if borderlands does not have a cd key and it states it cannot be activated on steam.
 
Was tempted to buy the COD4 key on there. However, it is not compatible with steam. how can i download and install the game then?

Cheers

you would need to borrow a copy from a friend or download it illegally (could be considered legal depending on your view). If you email activision and provide your key they might send you a download link, although i cannot confirm that.
 
hmm here's the reply i got from my emails:

I told you it's retail key

You must have mirror for this key or original cd

As far as i know the retail boxed copy does not have a cd key, which leads me to believe that you have to activate the key somewhere but not on steam as it says no steam.


Thanks,
