I see that the old Gears of War 1 game has still not made its way to Steam after all this time. :(

However, its a Games for Windows Live game and it is still available 2nd hand on eBay. It is also available to download from Live Marketplace for £14.99

I was under the impression that GFWL is the same as Steam in that once a game serial number has been used, it cannot be reused or transferred.

So, Im wondering is this correct?
If so, I think all the ones on eBay will be 'offline only'
 
All of the GFWL games from the same erea as GOW can be used with 1 key.

I used to run GOW,Juiced,Halo and anther game all from the same key (GOW) used to take it in turns with a friend buying the games up till they changed the keys for newer titles.

Just a heads up as well the last time i played GOW i had to put my system clock back to an earlier year to get it to work, some thing to do with the coding the dev's had put in.

I say go for the fleabay option that way you've got a key for various other games that you could pick up for peanuts.
