    Hi,

    just got my m11x and its working great. one annoying thing to ruin the mood as always..

    in my shopping basket it stated that i would get a free game download as it also did in my invoice.

    however now iv opened it up i havent seen anything about a free game download. iv created a steam account thinking it must be linked with steam but still nothing..

    anyone know where to look?

    (tried to contact dell, they told me to phone a number, i did.. was transfered then the operator cut me off.. phoned again then my mobile died.. firgure its faster to ask on here..)

    cheers

    There was as offer advertised back when i bought my M11x giving away a copy of Bioshock 2.. nothing ever came of it and instead i've had to suffice with the free Portal download, a game i already own. :mad:

    I am a UK owner and I got Portal with mine. All I did was create an account and it was there waiting for me to do a final download and activation.
