if buying in a store, can the code be used to add it to steam? or not?

Just wondering, cause it works with some games, like valves own Half-Life 1 & 2 series etc, but it doesn't work for others like BIoshock etc.

EB games is for chumps. 120 for a game that they should be selling for 60 or 70. Plus the piece of crap that is 'pre owned' what a joke.

Anyways, I just checked out http://www.zest.co.th COD4 is 600 baht which = $21 AUD. Thats a massive difference.

Ah, so that's what happened. I went in to Steam a few days ago planning to buy CoD4, then saw it was twice as much as all the other games and didn't buy it. I haven't been buying many games of late because I can't justify $100AUD for them, but being able to get stuff for $50USD off Steam has seen me getting a bunch lately.

So instead of this making me pay $100 for CoD4 in a bricks-and-mortar store, this made me buy some other game instead. Nice work.

Steam could do something about this too. They could say “Screw you Activision, we’re not charging people in different countries different amount for the same thing. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to distribute through us!”. Thats what Apple did when the RIAA wanted to charge different amounts for different songs.

Why would anyone pay close to $100 australian to download off steam when you can buy it for $79 in stores, or even alot less of Play-Asia.

I do not blame steam at all this is not their fault, blame the greed of Activision. Sounding more and more like EA every day.

Reply from steam about the matter:

Thank you for contacting Steam Support. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The correct price for Call of Duty 4 purchased through Steam in Australia or New Zealand is $88.50 USD.

We will not be able to offer you the US price. Please note that the pricing for this game is set by Activision not Steampowered Games.

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.

Thanks steam, but I'll be buying the game with cd's etc at a local store for $80 rather than the $120 activision wants to charge us for a DOWNLOAD version
