I don't know if it's a typo, a region specific thing or just that I'm lucky, but it's 3 free games! Luckily I had this pre ordered at sainsburys for the same price, but I don't have xcom. I cancelled my preorder and got this one! Amazing deal, even if I have played all of the others.
I know, it's fucking crazy. I already preordered it and got my Bioshock 1 and The Darkness 2 keys several weeks ago. Then they tell me I'm getting an extra copy of XCOM too. Already own that game, but I'm sure a friend of mine will gladly take that code. Valve can take their hats and shove them somewhere.
@svenzon: Do you know how people who already got X-COM on GMG will be getting the free copy code?
Not a 100% sure about that, but they probably have some kind of solution for that. You are supposed to get one even if you've already bought it from them.
Please note you only get 1 extra game . They have some of the best prices there is but it can sometimes take an hour or two for them to verify your payment.

Damnit! I forgot about GMG.. I wish I didnt buy it last night on steam. I would love to have got Bioshock 2 instead of TF2 items so I can have the entire collection at one go.
Got my copy from Gamefly UK for 35€ with both Bioshocks, XCOM and 5£ cupon. Finished the first Bioshock yesterday and it's a heck of a game (never finished it before and man what a twist). Trying the second one just to see how it is and already pre-loading Infinite. And I'm starting to read the novel. AHHH BIOSHOCK OVERDOSE!!
Yeah, i dont know if they send them out per region or per date or what.
Ive always got my keys well before release though..
I don't think it's a per region thing, but from what I gather looking at their twitter account, they discovered the systems they have in place to send out keys were not ready for the volume of traffic and amount of keys they need to get to everyone for Bioshock and all the bundled bonuses. Hopefully they'll get it all sorted too, GMG is usually pretty good with all of this stuff.
Soo... Was I confused in that XCom comes with every purchase of the bundle on GMG? If I was right, how do I get a download for it? I only got Bioshock and my other game...

They give you the keys for Infinite and XCom in a separate email.
Bought the game on GMG, got my keys in an e-mail, but when i copypasta'd the Infinite link into the activation box on Steam, Steam did not recognise it....What gives?
EDIT: NVM: They didn't make it very clear that the second line of characters was not part of the Infinite key. Works now :)
I'm kind of curious if I should get this for PC or not. I got Sleeping Dogs for PC because it looked really amazing with the higher res textures. I wonder if there will be a significant framerate or graphical advantage over just the regular XBOX version for Infinite. Bioshock had a very distinct artstyle that I wouldn't characterize as super detail heavy.
i know these sites are using aggressive pricing to try to establish a customer base and it ends up paying off with additiona purchases made, but man i still can't understand how the hell sites like this make any money. i'm so glad they exist though! still wish i got a boxed copy, but this deal was too good to pass up.
21 hours according to steam. bring it on.
e: also big question is if i play hard enough can i beat the original bioshock in time? i just started playing through again as i've never beaten it myself and just got past the lazarus vector part. i really want to dive into infinite right away, and i might be OD'ed on bioshock if i try to beat the original. but it's also been a while since i've actually beaten a game. also i know pretty much everything that happened, just want to beat it/see for myself.
