Crysis 2 for $15.99.....hard to pass up!

Hmm, never used eBid. And the seller has been with eBid for only 23 days. Seller is also selling 17 copies of Win 7 Ultimate for $39.99. Office Professional for $39.99. Doesn't seem very legit, IMO.
 
I did it and got my code in about 25 minutes. The only problem now is that EADM is not working. ARGHHHHH!!!!!!
 
the seller is kind of hot....and animated. keep a close eye on your CC account Sipster.
 
The only way you can possibly get me to play this game was if it were free, hand delivered and came with a trained monkey to install it.

Even then, that's a BIG maybe.
 
Waiting on that DX11 patch still... and they've already announced DLC MP map packs...

Uh yeah, get used to that. It is why the game doesn't work for a lot of folks who paid full retail. Avoid this game unless you are willing to gamble.
 
Well this sucks! I can't get EADM working. I go to Redeem Code and it just sits there for a few minutes and comes back with a proxy error so I'm completely stuck. I will report back once I figure it out.

The issue wasn't with EADM, it was with the MyCrysis account servers.
Single player works fine, it was the multiplayer accounts that were screwed up.
I paid $30 for my physical copy from EA and then I asked them for another Key and they gave me one so that I could play online and not mess up my original key that was tied to the bonus content.
 
I can't even input a code. I click the Redeem Code button and it just hangs there.

Ah, then clearly my thought wasn't worth a damn, as usual! ;) Sorry, I'll quit trolling your thread...damnit [H] needs to save some juicy reviews for Fridays so I have something "better" to do with my time.
 
Don't know how but I got it working. Entered my code and EA accepted it. Downloading game now!
 
I hate downloading from Steam as much as I hate downloading from EA... when I buy something I want a hard copy of it.
 
This game is probably the worst example ever of console-port-itis. I'm not buying this game until it's a Steam bargain bin 5 dollar special.
 
Update: Game is fully installed and activated. Multiplayer works fine. No problems with the key!
 
I got my key from a key store for Crysis 2 at launch. Put it into EA Downloader and downloaded the game. Only paid $24 for it the day the game launched, works perfect online and SP.

Which key store?
 
Thanks OP... how long did it take everyone to get their keys, by the way? I just bought one :), I love these offers.

I disagree. I will never buy digital copies of music, but videogames are different. Steam is great. As long as you don't get banned, you will always own your games on Steam. Plus, steam keeps you connected with other people better than if you just bought a retail game.

I don't know about this deal on Crysis 2. Seems too shady... Besides, I wouldn't pay that much for this game.
 
I absolutely love Steam. Purchase games for cheap during a holiday/weekend sale for only a few bucks, play it on my desktop and when I have to go TDY half way across the world, install the same game on my laptop and pull the saved game/config settings from the cloud and pick up right where I left off.

Since I have a large collection of games on Steam, I don't want to have to pick up another service for other games I want (GFWL) and I better not lose my account or get banned because I have a lot of money tied into that account.

And this deal is definitely too shady for me.
 
I would have much preferred buying on Steam myself but I really wanted to play this game. I don't think Steam will have this good of a price for a while.
 
I got my key around 6 hours after paying... I'm really surprised by Crysis 2, I was expecting a dull game with bad graphics but even at 2560x1600 (oc GTX 570 SLI) here where the textures would stand out if super-low-res, it looks very good while playing (if you crouch and look straight at the ground it exposes the lower resolutions, but at the viewing angles/etc. you normally play and fight at it looks great!). The lighting & post-processing effects make it look really, really good, and I'm having a great time with the game so far (around an hour and a half into it). I did need to apply an SLI fix with nvidia inspector to the profile for the game, but otherwise it was pretty simple and works 100% (fix was here: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197622 ).

So, in short... Crysis 2 definitely got an unfair bad reputation, I'd say.
 
Guess we will see what happens..did the $12.00 with pp.

Got the code....downloading

bite, used paypal. You're not going to see it on steam for this price for about 2 years. Got the key within 2 minutes of purchase.

Entered code into EADM, worked fine. Currently downloading.
