The $5 extended download service is optional and can be removed. Still, it stinks that you can't get anything. That doesn't seem right.

Never actually bought anything from the THQ Store, but I noticed that the reseller is Digital River, Inc., from whom I purchased some great deals on Windows 7 and Office when I was a college student. Quite remarkable how they're always saving me money. ;)

I went ahead and got Metro 2033 and CoH Gold. Plenty of deals here that are hard to pass up. :D

Well it seems they won't sell Metro 2033 to people in Canada. Sad Face.

I wouldn't worry about having to get the extended download service for metro and dawn of war 2 + expansion, seeing as there steamworks games. You'll always be able to redownload them in steam. Making them the only really good deals in my eyes.

I hate how publishers think they can somehow offer a lesser download service.. it's somewhat ironic.

Titan Quest: Gold Edition looks tempting...the_ChEeSe_mAn2

If your a fan of the genre get it its the best diablo type game out there besides diablo.

Don't usually play RTS are any of these games very noob friendly?ericpol

Nice find! I just got Metro and DOW2 + Chaos Rising all for $32. I already had Red Faction Geurrilla for $5 back when it was on Steam's 4th of July sale, otherwise I'd would have picked it up too.

Extended download services for $5 more? 2 years max for the additional costs? Forget it. I want to still be able to play the game down the road when I get my next computer and not held hostage to rediculous download policies.

Could anyone list what games on there that would allow me to activate them onto my steam account?

Be sure to look at it carefully though because Steam only accept certain game keys in SPECIFIC FORMATS. Also, the page is entitled "Retail CD Keys". Since "retail" is usually considered physical copies, I would bet anything that these digital keys the THQ store is selling are not in the specific format that steam accepts as valid.

Meh 2 weeks ago or something there was a steam sale on the thq pack which got ALL the thq games and its normal price was 99 bucks and you saved 300 but with the sale it was 49 bucks and u saved alot more

You can't run Metro 2033 or Dawn of War 2 without Steam...JangoWuzHere

Seriously?

First off, many thanks to the OP for posting this.

Picked up Metro 2033 and might buy one or two other games.

My problem, though, is that after paying for Metro 2033 I have gotten nothing. No email from THQ, and when I sign in to check the status of my order it says that I haven't ordered anything.

WTF. :?

UPDATE: I just signed in again and my game is there and ready to be downloaded. All is well. :D

Yes, I am downloading it through Steam right now.

You will be given a key from the THQ store.

will you be able to download titan quest: gold and s.t.a.l.k.e.r. through steam?

thanks!

I already own those games, so I can't help you with that one.

Any idea when sale ends?

Damn, I've been waiting for a deal on Metro! :D Thanks for the heads up TC!

Thanks for correcting me here. I'm considering both DOW2 and Metro.

anyone?

Why does everything have to be US only? :(Guess I'd have to wait for the retail prices to drop.

So I bought Metro - how does this work? Will they email me a code or... ? It's been nearly two hours since I purchased the game, and I've received nothing.

So if I'm buying Metro 2033, STALKER, and Titan Quest: Gold, do I need to use the extended download policy thing?

Or can I just use steam?

Thanks!

The only game that implements steamworks is Metro 2033, while the rest don't. So you will only be able to download Metro as many times as you want on steam.

I bought DoW2, DoW2: Chaos, and Metro. All were activated successfully on Steam.

Lol, managed to buy from europe, wasn't that hard. :P

I just filled in my realname and street adress but said that it was situated in New York.
