Bioshock Infinite Pre-order Bonuses

[MaXXimus Maverick McClane]

This is probably the best pre-order bonus package I have ever seen on Steam. You essentially pay full price not just one game but 3 games in Bioshock Infinite, Bioshock, and X-Com: Enemy Unknown.

Actually, only one reward is currently available. The rest rely on lots more people signing up for pre-order (i.e. nearly 1/3rd the number of those who already have, again, in order to get XCOM).

And it's £29.99 here before you even start. Sure, that's less than the price of XCOM alone, but that's still a large gamble on a game that might be junk (we don't know yet), a copy of Bioshock that's ancient (and that I've got on my account and paid less than £5 for) - maybe - a copy of XCOM.

Plus there's a season pass for DLC out for Infinite before it's even released, and that's always a bad sign. I'd go for it if I was interested in XCOM but I played the original and the demo was just blasphemy to the name. But even then - you have no guarantee that XCOM will ever be included.

At this point, you have two weeks of crossed fingers to hope you get more than a 6-year-old, £5 game and - maybe - a couple of TF2 items out of your full-price pre-purchase of a game that has no reviews yet.

gmg is probably taking away lot of steam prepurchases. it's much cheaper and you will get 2 guaranteed additional games.

better deal on getgames, cheaper and 1 more game than steam (choice of spec ops, civ V or mafia 2)
