    It's such an awesome game and for that price it's worth it! Plus, you can add it to your steam account.

    True. It already had a lot of similar offers, considering it's release year and quality it's an instant grab. I grabbed it myself on Steam about a month ago for almost the same price. Some games are way worse than DE HR, but they keep their prices for more longer than this awesome title.

    If only Anno 2070 and Assassin's Creed Revelations depreciated so much as this game too!

    I highly recommend getting this game while you can. A relatively close experience to the original Deus Ex, and my game of the year last year. If you like cover shooters, stealth games, or even RPGs, you really can't go wrong. It was worth the $50 I paid, so it's definitely worth the $7 from Amazon.

    One of the best games in the last 5 years for sure. Lots of detail and feels like a realistic look into a possible sci-fi future. Get it asap, you'll enjoy it much more than that sandwich you were thinking of buying instead.

    After your purchase you will see a code on your game library page on amazon. Use that code in steam -> activate a game -> redeem code.

    no probs.

    I'm not sure man, hopefully tomorrow if things go well. He hasn't responded to my request for a tracking # yet :(. Anywho I'm trying to finish up stuff early so I will be free to mess around with it in case it does arrive.

    And...keep us posted with your card's status. Since you guys are very close geographically it shouldn't take long to reach him right?

    Yupp but the problem is (which also in your case, that he didn't respond) he is not at home anymore (he said only in the weekends), so don't worry if he didn't reply to your email.

    My card should be there within this week for sure, I hope he will have time to look at it on the weekend, we'll see, I was able to boot the lappy with the card the last time (but wasn't recognized by device manager, still passed POST, that is a nice thing :)) I believe it is alive but needs medical attention :) we'll see! (if it is dead, I will wait until 680m before buying another one for sure)

    EDIT: THAAAANNKSS for posting this (+repped) even the intro looks sweet, and you love the AA of this game :)
