For Our European Friends: 50% Off THQ’s Online Store

By Lawrence Sonntag | 03 February 2012 | 11 Comments

While we here at Inside Gaming typically love America to the point that we hate foreigners, we’re swallowing our xenophobia temporarily for this cool bonus THQ sent our way.

Residents of the UK, Germany, Spain, and France can use the code “Machinima50″ over at shopTHQ for 50 percent off any purchase, though be aware that it excludes pre-orders and games that are already on promotion.

There’s some good shit in there – Space Marine, Dawn of War II: Retribution, Blood Bowl, and Metro 2033 all jump out at me as games that you should jump all over if you haven’t yet. The deal ends on February 7, so snap em up while you can.

  You know I was wondering that when I saw the DLC listed…
  
  I’d throw that question to THQ support though. Unfortunately we don’t have that kind of info.

  You have to activate it on steam. all pc saintsrow3 produts are steamworks based. so even if you brought the game on disc it would be activated on steam.
  
  help for activating you dlc key:

I regret trying PC gaming. Wish they’d discount those in stores.

Sigh, got excited when I saw “european”, but then it wasn’t all of Europe. *sad face*

Seems I can only buy games on the PC format. Any way around this that I’m not seeing?
