lol what makes you think Crysis 2 will be cheaper on steam? EA wants the $$

Btw, the only game that's cheaper than the rest in platform wise is PC Homefront version, other than that, majority of the games are the same for prices

yep, all the bigshot publishers are pulling this ****. a very **** business practice, but if the game is worth the 60, then so be it.. next thing you know games will be 70 here in the US..

The reason why console version cost more is that they need extra work to make it work on the consoles, cause they program it on the pc... something like that... idk, im buying pc version anyways, better graphic and cheaper ;) + editor (FTW!!!)

Im wondering, if i buy it on steam can i play with everyone or only with steam users? Some games use this, like blacklight tango down, if you buy it on steam then you cannot play with people that buy it on Gamers For Windows Marktplace!!!!!!

50 euros for Dead Space 2 and 50 for the signature edition of Dragon Age 2.

I'm looking at Steam right now (Online, not through Steam itself), and it costs £30! That's bloody cheap.

Hopefully it stays at that price by the end of tomorrow, I may consider purchasing this. :)

I wonder if we'll be able to activate boxed versions on Steam. That would be awesome.

Every pre order everywhere is limited edition. It also doesnt cost any more than the basic version its simply a limited offer.

No it's because the consoles are sold at less than they are worth, and Microsoft and Sony make up for that by making games more expensive.

Meh, steam doesnt seem to be be offering too much for Crysis 2... I think I will just preorder from the EAStore to get the additional bonuses from them. :)

Is EA's digital download service any good?

A gold dogtag frame, Desert SCAR camo and early access to the threat module that highlights bullet trails (this one is also available in other locations). As for how good the EA Store is well.. its nowhere near as reassuring as the Steam Store is. Crysis 2 is my first purchase from there so I cant really say. After pre ordering Crysis 2 from the EA Store I got an email confirmation of my purchase and thats it really. It isnt showing up at all in the EA Download Manager in my order history. I also have no code or anything of the sorts for the EA Store exclusives so I dont know if they are going to be automatically added to my game or what.

As for the pricing its £30 in the UK Steam Store which is around $48.

If you guys purchase it on steam and the others purchase pre-order it through EA store and retail outlets, does that mean we can still be playing against each other? I read an article that steam players are not able to play with other players who purchase the game through other means.
