Max Payne 3 - Steam issues.

Is there any way that I can connect my retail copy of Max Payne 3 to Steam? I would have bought it from Steam if it wasn't such a ridiculous size (30GB) as I currently have a bandwidth limit of 1.5GB before I get capped to 200KB/s for 5 hours before being reallocated another 1.5GB by my ISP. Downloading 30GB would have taken me days, maybe even weeks, so I understandably opted to choose a retail copy from here.

Now when I try to add a game to Steam, it says my Max Payne 3 CD Key is invalid? :eek:

Here is photographic proof I own a legit copy of the game, bought from Overclockers UK because I am aware there are idiots out there who would probably pirate and then come here looking for a work around:

Outside of the box

Inside of the box

P.S this is just a copy + paste of my topic on the Steam forums, just wanted more insight. (especially as they are inactive)

P.S.S I'm pretty new to Steam!

I love Steam, I just wanted to register it so I could have it in my library with time played etc. and I also wanted it in there for the cool logo style box thing (lol) whereas if I just put it in through 'add a non-Steam game' its just the launcher logo with tons of space around it, not a cool picture like the rest!

Sort it out Rockstar, patch it some steamworks.

Well it was an issue that the CD Key wouldn't register, no?

Yeah the games playable, it just sucks that I have to use the ugly Rockstar ingame interface instead of Steams, unless adding non-steam games also gives the Steam interface? The reason I want it in there properly is that every game I have is in Steam, just makes it a little untidy you know?

As for the game itself, I've spent more time in Multiplayer, its just too fun (bar the hackers!).
