It's cuz they took it down.

Well, I guess this led to a bunch of people to sell them cheap on ebay.
Got one for $2.50. I'm happy.

 

[dualsmp]

I seen a bunch on ebay for 2 bucks.

I just went ahead and bought one for $2.49 and just activated it.

Saw it for $10 yesterday on the THQ site but passed, but for $2.49 it's worth it. Of course those that got it free even better.

I wonder how much $ nvidia owes the creators of m2033 after this fiasco?

Thanks OP. Got all my coworkers to get in on this, bunch of friends too!

 

[bcterps]

I wasn't able to get in, but eBay was flooded with codes so I bought one for $2.50. Still a good deal IMO

heh dunno.

anybody know how it works?

maybe nvidia bought a block of serials from the publisher of 2033, so nvidia is the only one out of cash.

Gave my spare code to a friend but as stated above it looks like you can pick it up REALLY cheap right now!

 

[BlueWeasel]

Can someone send me or post a link to the eBay auction for the $2.50 keys?

They're gone. The lowest now is .99 cents + $3.97 shipping

Maybe some more keys will show up later for $2.50

 

[Powermoloch]

i bought it for 5 bucks through ebay

it's a steal.

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

FYI, there is one seller that is taking "best offers". Best he'll do is $4

 

[ImpulsE69]

It's been claimed!

 

[DXtreme]

It's been claimed!

Thanks!!!

I feel sorry for those who bought on ebay, because you're likely to find that the keys have been revoked by Steam.

I downloaded the game in steam using the key provided, and everything seemed smooth. I check now, and it's no longer in my library and I'm unable to use the key again..

That happened to me as well. I activated via steam and downloaded the game. Game back just now to play it and I can't find a trace of it anywhere.

I'd be nice if they at least told you they were removing it.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Guess I'll be filing a complaint to Nvidia then. I don't care if they screwed up. They didn't even send a notice that they were revoking them.

 

[Powermoloch]

well...looks like i got my refund

noooooooooooooooooo

Don't bother. The keys weren't to be had (for free, publicly) at least. They were for a promotion intended to get a free copy when you pre-ordered Homefront. Are you really going to complain this much about a $10 PC game?

Rule #1 of Hot Deals: If it's too good to be true...

 

[gothamhunter]

Crap. Sadface

 

[ImpulsE69]

I've been around long enough to know that, as well as, a few well places complaints to prove positive, not that I will in this case because I don't really care.

It's more of an annoyance that in B&M, mistakes like this are usually met with some result where the customer gets something out of it. It used to be this way online as well. In the last...4 years? online sites have decided they don't have to play by those rules because of the ease of fleecing without so much as a notification as in this case. Granted this case there is no money involved, unlike others where they either cancel / refund.

Either way, my previous post was more sarcasm than truth.

 

[gothamhunter]

Yea its their screw up, they should honor it really. I mean its not like at a store where the cashier goes oh wait, its not that much; we're going to have to ask you to return those products you purchased and pay full price...these people already bought these for a price they thought they were buying something for
