Dunno if this qualifies (I'm sure it's fine in this thread tho!), but I just did this, got BF BC2 Vietnam for $4.99, got SPECACT for free, got Mirror's Edge for free and got Sim City 4 Deluxe for free from EA Online.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=278843 Where I initially found the deal: http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/forums/...7541190&page=0 Took all of 5 minutes to accomplish. I'm glad I held out on Vietnam...I can live with $5. And yes you can use it in Steam because you get a code to enter within BC2, so EA, Steam, DVD, etc are OK. Hope this helps a few of you guys out there! I'm still hoping to see Alpha Protocol around $7-8 again on Steam before this thing is over! |

hey I know this is kinda the whole point of steam, but I let me dad use my steam account on his computer (in the next room) to play some small indie games. Is there a way for me to use the same account at the same time, even with diff games? Offline mode or something?

Hey guys i bought GTA4 complete edition via steam and i don't want wait hours for it to install; i got a actual iso copy aswell which i got from a friend ages ago,i was wondering would it work if i install through the disc files into the same GTA4 folder thats in steam folder if that makes sense.

so yes, it should work fine. let steam start the download and it will create the folder. then install your game (i usually install it elsewhere, and then copy the files, and then uninstall the original, so there are not 2 installations in add/remove) and get the files in steams folder. afterwards, let steam "verify integrity of game cache" and it will jump to 95+%, and take a few seconds to download the steam specific executables.

Yea, I bought BF BC2 for my cousin as a gift, and knowing his internet is F!@#$$ slow, I just copied my BF BC2 folder to his and did the verify. Anyways, even if the folder isn't exactly the same as the steam one, it'll just change wtv is needed, you'll at least have 90~98%
You have to put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common or equivalent, and put exactly the name they put on the folder (you can let it do 1% to check the folder names if your not sure)

perhaps there are too many differences

with the game copying thing, two facts.
1. you gotta patch the game up to date too. 2. the new steam UI is counter intuitive, and drops to 0% as it verifies. it may say 'downloading' and then download 2GB in about 5 seconds as it verifies it.
