expired Metro 2033 $3.13 USD (STEAM Key) GameStop
This was posted 1 year 24 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
The webpage has a habit of changing the prices regularly. You might need to try again and again for a while before you get this price. I waited 3 minutes.
Proof Invoice: http://aciai.me/i/fEu4e.png
Be Aware: If you get $3.22, that's the AUD price. $3.13 is the USD price. It's not going to go any lower!
Also, Saints Row 3 ($12.80). Same process! http://www.impulsedriven.com/saintsrow3

Ahh well I dont feel like an idiot for paying more now :) Activated on steam and downloading now. Played it on Xbox and it was okay, but I have so many games on steam that I buy cheap and then never play :\

lol, I have 246 games on steam of which I have only played 35.
The rest are on the to-do list. ;)

But hey we save so much money by buying cheap, even if we dont play them for 2 years :D

rldowling03, Lol so true.
MrZ, I am an impulse buyer. Have an OCD for cheap games.
ProspectiveDarkness on 26/05/2012 - 01:55 ¶Quick question: do you need to download the Impulse client to get the Steam key? I want to buy SR3, but am not terribly keen on installing random programs I have little need for.
Postulative on 26/05/2012 - 12:58 ¶No, the Steam key should be on your emailed receipt. It's just not obvious.
- ProspectiveDarkness on 26/05/2012 - 13:47 ¶
I couldn't find it in the email, so I had to install the 'app'. The Steam key shows up in the game listing on the client, so you can just uninstall it after getting the key, as R.R.P said.
It is to this date one of the most GPU-demanding titles ever released along with Crysis.
Fully DX11.
Looks fan-friggin'-tastic if you can run it.Make sure your rig is up to spec before even bothering attempting to play it. Metro 2033 makes even a GTX 590 cry in some sections @ 1920x1080.
In terms of gameplay, it's mostly a nuclear-apocalyptic survival horror tale (some similarities to Fallout) about bands of survivors huddling together in the Russian Metro subway system and venturing out into the ravaged wilderness for supplies whilst fending off mutated horrors.
Being that it's from an Eastern European developer however, it has a very adult/realistic twist, sort of like The Witcher. Or the latest Arma II mod Day-Z.
For instance you have to change your gas mask air filter ever so often and the longer you wear them to more the condensation from your breath obscures your vision to the point where you can't see anything.
When you need to check your objectives in the dark your character will hold a lighter up to a journal but this risks alerting nearby enemies.
Ammunition is the in-game currency, which means you have to make a choice between firepower and buying power quite often and the weapons are incredibly fragile and often jam/break (apart from incredibly expensive military-grade ones).
Enemies kill you incredibly quickly and often jump attack from different stories/angles.It's most similar to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Cryostasis in terms of atmosphere.
Nonetheless it's a very innovative and novel game; you probably haven't played anything like it before.
ShannonIngram on 26/05/2012 - 11:17 ¶Awesome deal - thanks! Took a few refreshes but got there in the end
Phil Anthropist on 26/05/2012 - 12:43 ¶Took a few goes to get it at the lower price - was saying $17 for a while then just got it for A$3.20 Nice deal!
- Phil Anthropist on 26/05/2012 - 12:59 ¶
Guess it depends if the game is available for MAC. If it is then it's worth a shot for $3.20 (which won't even buy you a decent coffee these days!)
- Phil Anthropist on 26/05/2012 - 13:12 ¶
There's also the bundle deal of the week on the site. This week is Men of War complete bundle for A$28.15 - Dunno if it's a good game or not though lol
- Phil Anthropist on 26/05/2012 - 13:39 ¶
Yes you need the app installed to get the code. If you don't have a PC then get a friend to do it on theirs.
+1 votebigosmallo on 26/05/2012 - 16:20 ¶I added it when it was $3.20 but in the basket it says $6.00 AUD and won't change.
Nevermind, I removed it, added it again and got $3.20 AUD in the cart.
This is ridiculous about the changing of prices constantly,
Is that what this business is doing now in order to make more money, change the price, and hope the customer doesnt pick it up
This is lame! I refuse to buy any games from a company that stoops this low, regardless of how cheap it is.
ectoplasmical on 27/05/2012 - 12:56 ¶Was at $17 for me. Refreshed 5 times, got it at AU$3.20.
Nice find.
+5 votesPurchased this yesterday for the AU$3.20 amount. Steam key works fine.
Got a call from bank this morning to inform me that the company have been making unauthorised charges on my credit card. Log into my bank account and they have made an additional charge of AU$2.05 on my credit card without my ok.
Might be worth other members checking their payment statements for this. I am getting my bank to do a charge back, as vendor has no way of contacting them to dispute this.
- +1 votebigosmallo on 28/05/2012 - 11:03 ¶
I have that same charge on my card. Wonder whether it's an authorisation charge.
- +1 voteectoplasmical on 28/05/2012 - 11:48 ¶
Same here.
You can contact them for billing inquiries at downloadsupport@gamestop.com, according to my receipt email.
- liveyourlife on 28/05/2012 - 15:21 ¶
What did you pay with? I paid with PayPal and I have no such charge against my account. Good thing that you did a charge back. $2.05 is unjustifiable when buying something that costs $3.22.
Hope it works out for everyone in the same situation.

I got it after about 15 refreshes, thanks a bunch :D
