Is Saints Row: The Thrid @ Gamefly work with Steam?

It's a THQ game and I think their new titles are all steamworks, even Metro 2033 from a few years ago. Though, it's cheaper (£6.99) at pcworld downloads, and they list it as steam dependent.

If you actually click on the game on Gamefly it even tells you it is steamworks:

Requires installation and activation on Steamworks.

500 deal-finder points for anyone who can source a good deal on Gears of War. Cheapest respectable place I can find is GFWL @ £14.99 which seems a lot for a 5 year old game.

Good luck with that, I searched high and low for a good deal and failed. I ended up using the PC marketplace.

An heads up for anyone else, your card issuer might charge an overseas admin fee, I think mine with Santander was £2.50 for a Visa Debit.

Witcher1979 · 27 Oct 2012 at 01:45

The charge is based on certain states you use as an address. The place I use is £0

Have they fixed the save game problem? I expect there are solutions to this, but it's still something to bear in mind.

No it's not, it's a surcharge for buying a product not in the UK.

Natwest is £1.50 I think.

Near impossible to find a good deal for this :mad:

I searched and searched and finally i bought a used copy from e-bay...

Can you pay for GFWL games using MS Points?

AFAIK that's only for the Xbox Arcade titles

Most of the games availible on the GFWL marketplace can only be payed for using the normal methods.

Yes you can just chose another payment method at the checkout then it will let you use the MS points.

That's the only place to buy it digitally its not available elsewhere legally the used physical copy prices are extreme nowadays as its getting rare. Some companies are selling a keygen key but its not legit so it would get blocked at sometime by MS & the site shut down when they discover whats happening! Not worth taking a chance either as they would suspend your entire GFWL account & getting that back is almost impossible due to the poor support.

£14.99 might seem a lot but PC gets exclusive PC only content (5 extra levels), a full level editor so you can build your own or import the many already made plus the MP is still active & its by far the best version of the game so you will easily get your £14.99 worth as the co-op alone is worth that

& finally PC also supports DX10 which means working AA on this early UT3 game & superior to 360 gfx due to the higher res textures (approx 12000 files after install it takes around 1 hour solid to install form DVD or when you have finished downloading it from GFW).

Just bought Call of Juarez The Cartel (registers on Steam) for £2 from local Blockbuster Store and Supreme Commander 2 (registers on Steam) for the same price.

Worth checking out your local Blockbuster store.

No idea then, I have never been charged any extra then the games cost at the rainforest.com, guess it depends per card then.
