Just a few from the wasteland during the quiet moments when something wasn't trying to eat me/stab me/shoot me/wear me as a hat.

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
Screens are great, you made a good effort to sell it smile

So I was going to buy it just now. Went to Amazon.

The Disk version costs 55EUR, and the Steam Code only is 60EUR?????
What exactly is their major malfunction?????

wild ass guess(s):
1. disks take up shelf space in the warehouse; Amazon want's them to move
2.supply v. demand. More ppl just opt for the steam code
3.Amazon is US based, Steam is Australia based, so exchange rate weirdness might be afoot


FYI I got the collectors edition myself, so mine was disk based. Basically, it comes with a steam code you activate when installing, and the disk provides ~5GB of the ~25GB total install. Relevant point here is that it's all Steam based at the end of the day.

Different distribution contracts. Valve/Steam may not be permitted to give rebates (yet), Amazon may actually need to pay the same to Bethesda but is forced to lower prices because other retail chains may have a special offer, or something.

I was pleasantly surprised when I was wearing that mech armor and it was turning dusk and it began to rain. Rain looks great, good atmosphere especially when you see drips on your visor.

Yes. Still, Greenmangaming still has a 17% rebate on FO4 Steam keys. Not as good as the 22% they had, but still not bad.
