    Hey Everyone
    My m11x's status changed to prepared for delivery. I have a bunch of gift cards and plan on buying Left4Dead2. My question is, will the CD key be acceptable on steam as a retail CD key. This would mean i wouldnt need to make an iso to install it.
    Thanks

    Just sign in to your Steam account and add the key. If it does not work you will need to contact Steam Support.

    Yeah it will work, Left 4 Dead is a Valve game and the only way you can install it is through steam even if you purchase the retail copy you need to put your cd key in to activate it.
