    Demo is out? Where?

    Is that site even legit? I'm always leary of buying a "Steam Activation License Key" from any place but Steam or from an actual store bought box that can be activated on Steam.

    Sorry my bad. Some people have received emails from gearbox with demo links, didn't know it wasn't publicly available yet.

    The site is legit, used to be cdkeys.co.cc, got mw2 long time back and still have it.

    Last email that went out about the demo was simply a query as to what system you'd like to play it on. I assume we'll probably see the demo this week.

    Yes the demo is to be released officially on June 3rd but some people have got the demo from gearbox.

    The demo will be available to those who pre-ordered the game.

    Yeah all the Borderland's people will get that first access deal as well from Steam..

    As for anyone having the demo? i have not seen one bit of proof that anyone in the public has it yet . I am sure press people have it and have had it for abit but if it were public at all then yeah we would be hearing ALL about it .

    There's nothing wrong with buying keys as long as they are from credible sources. These guys sell the keys which come with disks, I still have the images of all the keys I purchased from them. Haven't had any trouble with any game except for delivery delays a couple of times. Stolen keys get banned or blocked and I have had my share of those as well, these guys are way better, buying from them for over an year without any problems. Saved myself over $100 for the total games purchased so far :cool:.

    I just noticed your signature. Kinda fishy advertising to me.

    So the question remains, where do the keys come from, why so much cheaper, and why was the Steam thread closed so quickly? I guess in any case I'll buy directly from Steam instead of having my 300+ games stripped away from me.

    lol, they give out free games and coupons for posting on forums, currently they have free games promotion going on their facebook page, I am one of their prestige members, first bought from them on ebay.

    Just saying they are legit not saying that you have to buy from them, the games are mostly from Russia where they are cheaper to buy but since they don't have any regional restrictions they work fine everywhere. Found this out when I purchased black ops from them, it showed up as russian in steam and had to be activated by them which was a bad experience.

    I don't benefit from your purchase unless you include my name as the referrer when purchasing or if you use the discount coupons that I have. But if you do buy ask me for a coupon or use my id as referral, will be grateful.
