Gamespot has Fallout 3 Game of the Year for $14.99 as a digital download. The key you get after purchasing can be registered with Steam (Gamespot doesn't advertise this, but I just did it and it works).

This is a great deal on a great game - one of the best I've ever played!

Also, don't forget that Fatwallet has 4% cashback on Gamespot right now, and Discover Card has 5%.

I can confirm that I was emailed a cd key after purchase. This cd key did active successfully on Steam. I've been waiting for a good price on this for sometime. Thanks!

My order when through fine, but there was a error reaching the license server. My guess is a temporary shortage of CD keys. Others at SD are reporting the same.

I just hope that I get a key that is accepted by Steam.

please let us know if you got it, I might bite if the key you get works with steam as fallout is a good title to have fun.

Many people on SD said it works on Steam.

As usual I already own it, yet to play, got it for the 'steal' at the time of $30.

According to the SD thread, there's no other way to play the game but thru Steam.

Someone posted a screenshot of the instructions that came with the key and it simply tells you to use Steam to activate the game.

This game, with all 5 expansions, is just massive. I spent easily over 100 hours on it and my character by level 20 or so was unstoppable with the right weapons and armor (common complaint with Bethesda games). The mandatory repair system is annoying as hell, but eventually you get enough skill that it doesn't matter much. Max out repair points as soon as you can.

Well, it's been 16 hours and still no key.

I was hoping to play this over the holiday weekend but I'll be surprised if the key is received before Tuesday. :|

Yah also about 16 hours with no key, no email from there customer service either 11:57pm EST is when I got my purchase email, 4:30pm now and still no key or email from CS.

Only digital download service had to wait this long to be able to start the download...Insaneulous...

Flaming Hot!

Now, if only they'd send me my key...still, I suppose some things are worth waiting for.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

I called them yesterday; they are out of keys. They hope to have them in 24 to 48 hours.

One SD'er called to check on his order and was told:

"We are currently contacting the manufacturer with hopes that we'll be able to resolve this issue, but we're currently unsure when or if this will happen"

What a f**king joke.

This is a joke. Sorry to all of you who are suffering with the crap service. My order went through smooth as can be, and I was downloading from Steam withing 5 minutes. Guess I got in right on the tail end.
