Bioshock Infinite Preorders Tally Up Free X-COM On Steam

Posted on Tuesday, March 19 @ 16:59:49 Eastern by

With the hotly anticipated Bioshock Infinite just one week from release today, it seemed Steam users felt compelled to put their money down now in order to unlock a free download of X-COM: Enemy Unknown with their order. Customers also earned a free copy of the original Bioshock and some Infinite-themed TF2 items.

You can still order and get these bonuses as well, but just know that you weren't a part of something meaningful. You just reap the benefits while other people did the heavy lifting. Pfft, I want you out of my sight! You disgust me!

He's gone? Alright cool, I gotta preorder now. You know, I've been thinking, that progress bar sure did seem to shoot forward over the past 24-48 hours. I wonder if it was always the plan to give away X-COM for free.

    Arrgh! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

    This sucks big time, I don't have the money to preorder this, thus no free XCOM for me.

    So. SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

    As someone who just got all 3 Bioshock games on PC and $15 cash back, I can gladly say that this pre-order on steam is trash.

    Never under estimate the power of TF2 hats. Even if you don't join us when I invite you.

    I got my pre-order in two days ago after seeing a comment by a reader. What a great deal. Unfortunately, I was laid off from work earlier today and in-turn canceled my pre-order. I was very excited to play BioShock Infinite and XCOM, too.

    Sorry to hear that--hopefully it's an opportunity to land somewhere even better. Best of luck on the hunt.

    GR laid you off?? So why do you still have the "pink box of superiority"?

    OK. Sorry about the bad joke. But like sliverstorm: "Sorry to hear that--hopefully it's an opportunity to land somewhere even better. Best of luck on the hunt." (and I really mean it too)

    I will not preorder, don't want to spend the money right now. I'll wait, though I'll try to buy the Pyro's helmet in the Market.
