BioShock FREE on GameFly client today - Check your emails

got it, thanks!

Used to be a member of Direct2Drive which was purchased by GameFly. Since I received the e-mail about the free BioShock game, I tried to check out, which as others have pointed out, needs a valid credit card number. Seems unacceptable to me, for a free game, with no cc information mentioned being needed in the e-mail at all. Their support team was unhelpful as well, re-stating that a valid working credit card is needed for the download. Pity, but they can keep it.

Curious - with as many things as SDers buy online, it doesn't seem like a CC would be a huge hurdle to overcome. But beyond that, why not just set up a temporary card with the usual $2.00 minimum balance via your electronic checking account?

I'm not saying that you should inherently want to jump through hoops for this deal, but it isn't like options aren't out there.

My bank doesn't support virtual card numbers for one time use. While I appreciate and respect your input, as that may work great for others, I was just confirming that you will definately need a valid credit card number to get the deal. I'll live without the game.

I'm downloading it with an expired credit card on file.

Nice! I didn't have one on file with them, since I suppose that didn't carry over from their buyout of the D2D. I did try an expired card, but of course it was declined.

On how many different PCs can you install and activate Bioshock using the same account with the Gamefly client?

Is Gamefly's client like Steam where you can install it on as many PCs as you want, but you can only play it on 1 at any time?

in for one, didn't ever realized until final checkout that this was sponsored by gamefly.

I'm thinking of signing up for their rental service. any feedback?

Anyone else having an issue logging into Gamefly? It will not take my password and I have requested a password reset 3 times but never get an email.

I also created a second account but it will not let me add my credit card since it is attached to my other account.

I wished this was on Steam because I already have Bioshock from Microsoft but hate the super long loading times between levels. According to my research it has to do with the DRM installed through Marketplace.

Already have it on steam, but hey for free, can't beat that! In for one.

Thanks! was gonna get it from steam couple weeks ago along with Bioshock 2! Now I can try it out for free!

Quote from Illuminati4Hire : One of the best games ever for nothing. That can't be beat.

Winner!

Best game ever.. is bioshock. Getting it for free!!!!!!!!!!! is beyond words!

downloaded this but it would freeze on me upon loading. after a couple of tries, I decided to uninstall it.
