    Why don't you just activate it through steam? You don't need to use the disc then to play.

    It's not a Valve game. It can't be linked to Steam.

    And Spaghetti, you're not helping!

    Well, eh. Might as well ask then. I have already installed retail Borderlands onto my PC, with an account and patches and everything. If I were to <strike>succumb to Spaghetti's mind control</strike> buy Borderlands from Steam, could I sell my retail copy and not have the buyer come back to me with claims that it's already been activated.

    Yeah, I'm basically a Steam only person. Sue me.

    Retail version would sell on fine. Only problem is Borderlands isn't on sale anymore on steam.

    No, no, don't worry about it. I've resisted your mind control. I'll just deal with the disc for now.

    It should be. Generally the free weekends are the full game, just time limited to the free playtime.

    @cheese - There are cheats on both 360 and PC. It's unfortunate but true. This ruins the whole MP aspect of the game. Alas, why I dont even bother to play anymore. Seriously.. each game is some kid screaming to get his NUKE. Then toobers. It's like the developers dont even listen to those who are playing it. My advice... Battlefield Bad Company 2. I have it for 360 (cough sorry cough). It is outstanding!

    Take Care,

    StevenX

    Sale is until 26th April I think

    Great game that I really want to play, wasn't able to get it the last two times it was on sale.
    I'll beg my dad tonight, and hopefully be able to use his credit card :D

    Is that a joke? :eek:

    Cod4 on PC, as the person above me quite rightly said is 2nd on Xfire's most played list, due to it being superior in every way :rolleyes:

    Call of duty 2 gets more than Cod6, thats how much of a fail it is. Infact 2X as many minutes on xfire. and Cod4 is played 3X more.
