    Sadly we can only order 1 per account :( And also we have to use a credit card in order to purchase this free item.

    Awesome deal! I put in my Walmart Money CC that I use for online purchases that never has more than $5-$10 on it and it worked. This is getting old but a great game non the less!

    I couldn't find the option of using my paypal for it, so i did the credit card option. Kinda regretting getting this free game for the expense of my privacy. Gamefly WON'T LET YOU REMOVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!

    Great game. Hard to play with a laptop and no mouse. My 2nd gen i3 with integrated graphics ran this game fairly well in max graphic option; it just got pretty hot and I've never heard my baby spin it's fan so fast and loud.

    Got this game for free a few days ago, because I've ordered a few times from Gamefly. Unfortunately I already have this game on Steam, so a free download is useless for me, because I can't even gift it to a friend.

    What I meant was, that if it would have been a free Bioshock Steam Key, I could have gifted it to a friend. :)

    you could have also just told your friend about the deal, that's the same as getting it, since it's free
