    Already pre-ordered via GameStop so I will pass and the pre-order bonuses from GameStop are often always better than what Steam has.

    Wait...the ONLY preorder bonus on Steam is an item for a completely different game? One I don't even own? Weaksauce.

    Team Fortress 2 is Free to Play now so you do own it. ;)

    However, the concept is kind of stupid that the pre-order item is not for the game you just pre-ordered. :rolleyes:

    Everybodu knows that if you want people to play / buy your game on Steam, add TF2 hats or weapons.
    How many of you played Spiral Knights for the free hat? :D

    Can`t believe it is only 3 months until we get to play Skyrim. Could swear that just recently it was almost 1 year until release...

    I did the same although I bought the QuakeCon pack last year.

    You got an amazing deal! Same 20-30 games as last year (Morrowind GOTY, Oblivion GOTY, Fallout 3 GOTY, etc.), PLUS this year they added New Vegas with DLC and Brink with DLC. Same total price as last year ($69.99)

    The only game i owned before was Oblivion GOTY so its crazy value.
    Own all the Fallout 3 DLC on PS3, but not the actual game (Rofl PSN+) so with some extra mods to improve the game im thinking i can keep myself busy until Deus Ex 3.

    Also i think its rather nice to see DLC for Brink being offered for free the first 14 days.
    Hopefully the game wont run like crap on HD 6970m since the Steam forums mentioned certain issues with ATI / AMD and OpenGL.
    Dont see any OpenGL issues on my notebook, Minecraft with eye candy mod runs smooth as chocolate cake. :3

    I own all the Quake games up to 3, and the Doom games, but I'll get the pack anyway because hell, it's still a great price for Fallout 3 and New Vegas, plus all their DLC, as well as Brink and Quake 4.
