How quickly do the price of games decrease after a game is released?

best gaming pc sellers image

alex

ie. playstation3, or xbox 360
if a new game is released tomorrow at $56, when would the price be expected to decrease? how much?

thanks! :)
What about Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, for ps3 and Xbox 360?

Answer
It depends on several various factors. The main factor being the popularity of the game itself, because if it is popular like CoD MW2 is right now then it may take some time to drop in price. If a game isn't a sensational seller, the game manufacturers will more than likely drop the price sooner to help move the games.

Another thing is how long the game has been on the market, usually the manufacturers will drop the price in about a year's time. In this case if the game had some expansion packs, they will usually package them with the game, and you can really get a great value. If a game is usually more than 2 years old, you can really really get a great buy because they will usually end up in the bargain bin for around $10 (at least on PC games that is).

What is a good gaming desktop on a budget?

best gaming desktop 600 image

The True K

I'm looking for a desktop computer to buy. Does anyone know any good gaming desktops? ( exact models) I am on a budget though. I want to spend no more than 600 but if its worth it ill go over please help! would appreciate if you could send links or provide detailed info on each model. I am not very tech savy so i just need to know how good the computer is and how the graphic card would work if i was playing WoW or guild wars 2. thanks!

Answer
If you don't want to build it yourself then this is a huge prebuilt bang for your gaming buck, I would sell the GeForce GTX 550 Ti and buy a GTX660Ti when it comes out, this is the best deal I can find that will be a future proofing solution for many years to come.

enjoy,

What are good gaming desktops, that are also moderately cheap?

BAW

Could anyone please point me in the right direction as to what would be a good gaming desktop, that is also moderately cheap. (Price range of around $400-500 USD) I know next to nothing about computer specs, and whats good, and whats not. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
For $500 a good gaming desktop is hard to find. Here is some I found with good reviews but you can't expect a great performance:

If you could afford $600 this one is good:

What is the cheapest gaming pc I can buy/build?

best gaming pc to buy image

Connor Mce

I am looking to buy a gaming pc but I also want to spend as little money as possible on it. I want to know what the least amount of money I can spend would be to be able to buy or at least build a computer that will play at least RPGs even if I have to lower the settings a bit. I hate not being able to play anything and all that i am looking to do is to change that so I can play most things on low settings.

Answer
OK, the best cheap option is upgrading a low-cost starting PC with a better graphics card.

So I recommend starting with this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+Inspiron+Desktop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/4673045.p?id=1218505323144&skuId=4673045

Then adding this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131441

That can play most things on medium settings, some easier games on high.

You could go with a cheaper graphics card like the Radeon HD 6450 but you'd get 50% slower performance and only save $15, so I don't recommend that.

What should be a few necessities for a gaming pc?

fatboiii14

I am thinking of buying a gaming pc. I am willing to spend up to around 1000 dollars(or more if necessary) I want it to play games like minecraft or call of duty. I want something so I can play if no lag. Or even record... I dont know much about computers do I don't know what I should be looking for in a computer. If i could get a link to a great one to buy it would be nice. Or even a list of things to look for. Thanks!
Also where should i buy it?

Answer
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K or AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition.

Hard Drive: 500GB or 1TB

RAM: DDR3 4GB would be sufficient but 8GB wouldn't hurt.

Graphic Card: GTX 560 Ti or the GTX 570 would do.

PSU (Power Supply Unit): 700W or 650W. (PSU is needed to power up the graphic card.)

Gaming Cabinet: Any cabinet would do, but a gaming cabinet has a pretty better built in cooling system. iBall's 'Thunder Bolt' cabinet is pretty sweet.

Mother Board: If your going to get the AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition, then get the ASUS M5A88M. If going for the Intel Core i5 2500K, then get the ASUS P8H 67-MLX.

You'll need a sound card and a pair of speakers.

A UPS.

A Monitor. I recommend Dell monitors.

A mouse and a keyboard.

Should I buy the PS3, upgrade my pc or wait for the PS4?

best gaming pc hardware 2013 image

Hardik

I will have saved enough money by august 2013 to buy a PS3 or upgrade my PC. If I buy PS3, I can only play it for 3-4 years and if I upgrade my PC, I can play many games on it but not all games come to the PC. If I wait for the PS4, then the games I really would like to play now on PS3 would be gone.Please help me choose.

Answer
sony have stated that they will keep supporting the ps3 till atleast 2015 which does indicate that the ps4 will be released sooner than later and even game devs have been saying that they have got the hardware of the ps4 so they are able to start making games for the console now and have them ready when the console gets released

i also think the ps4 will be shown at next years E3 or just before and released in japan late 2013 and everywhere else 2014 ,

Is there a wireless gaming headset for xbox and pc where i don't have to disconnect wires constantly?

Jesse

I'm looking at the Razer Chimaera 5.1. But my main concern is that i have my laptop and my Xbox in different rooms, and it's a hassle to have to constantly unplug my headset from my Xbox to move it to my PC. Will i be able to say, hook these up to my Xbox and maybe only unplug one thing to move to my PC?

Answer
AS far as i know,There's only one way to do this, is to connect your Headset directly to your Monitor or TV

I play both my Xbox360 and my Laptop on the same monitor Through HDMI so i don't have to keep switching all of the time. the only cable i have to switch is the HDMI .

I'm looking to start diving into PC gaming. I'm not very smart on computers, nor am I rich. I'm just looking for a good quality computer at a lower price that can run: The Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, Counter Strike, Minecraft, etc. Can anyone think of any computers? Nothing expensive like Alien Ware, at least 700 dollars.

What sort of desktop PC should I get, and where should I get it?

Andrew

I'm looking for a low-cost gaming PC that is highly upgradeable. I'm looking to not go crazy with price because I want to see if this is really what I want to get in to, but if I like it, I would want to add more to it. I've never really gotten into PC gaming before.

Answer
Build it.

Its not hard, doesnt take long to learn what you need and what will work with other parts...

Its waaaay cheaper and alows you to actually plan for upgrades while building it..

I built my current system from parts ordered on Tigerdirect.com Got a super cheap CPU and graphics card to start with, but I made sure my Motherboard supported the latest greatest thing. Eventually I got a new CPU and a killer graphics card, now its a beast.

If you order a pre-built PC its going to be overpriced and most-likely not as upgradable as you want it to be...

The other reason to build it yourself is the learning process. It helps to understand what hardware is and how it works. Makes addressing computer problems much easier.

Will a game that requires ATI or NVIDA run fine with a PC that has an AMD card?

best gaming pc on earth image

Nikita K

Im planning on buying a gaming PC but i want to make sure i get the best bang for my buck without having to spend an excessive amount. Are AMD graphics card as good as NVIDA or ATI? Id like to play battlefield 3 and Fallen Earth. I also plan on upgrading the components as time goes on when better games come out.

Thank you!

Answer
AMD makes the ATI Graphics cards. If you want bang for your buck I suggest pairing an AMD FX-4100 CPU with an ATI Radeon 6870. The CPU will help future proof your system because it is a quad core plus it's a good price ($110) on Newegg.com. Hope this helps

I need help building a computer to handle Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 plus surfer and downloading ?

marcus

I am Novice when it comes to building computers. I was tempted to buy the Walmart gaming desktop for under 500. But i rather ask first here. So if anyone can help. I will be extremely thankful. Note i dont have anything so if i could get a list of all the parts .
CyberpowerPC Black Gamer Ultra GUA250 Desktop PC with AMD Quad-Core FX-4100 Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Option. NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Graphics

With 1GB video memory, DVI, HDMI and VGA capabilities
this is what the gaming computer on the walmart has to offer .

Answer
first off. DO NOT BUY PRE-BUILT PCs.

Every single time, 1000 times out of 1000, the company of the computer you bought made profit by cutting costs such as giving you total SH i T components that aren't advertised on the specs. Like the power supply. Like the motherboard. Like the brand of video card (not the manufacturer of the reference model ATI/NVIDIA).

Build your own PC by buying a motherboard, processor, RAM, video card, hard drive, optical CD drive, power supply and case.

In the end, when you order all of your parts, you will save money that would have been profit in Walmart's pockets and whoever built your PC.

You learn about what's in the case. It's a rewarding feeling. You have 100% control. There's no bull s H_ it Indian tech support people to talk to.

Go to newegg. They're the most reliable website to buy PC parts. Start with a video card in your price range that has good benchmarks and reviews. This is the main component for video game performance. Once you pick one, find a motherboard that supports it (PCI express slots), a case that fits it (shouldn't be too hard, but be careful), make sure your processor matches the socket type of your motherboard, make sure your RAM works with your motherboard (keep in mind windows 32bit only supports 4GB or less of RAM, so get Windows 64-bit CD from new egg), use newegg's power supply calculator to find out how beefy of a powersupply you need, and always round up to play it safe. modular = no cables permanently attached to power supply (cleanest). semi-modular = only permanently attached cables are the ones you need (24pin mobo and 4+4 pin processor), so still nice.

the most reliable companies for each part in my opinion are listed below:

Motherboard: ASUS
Processor: Intel
RAM: Corsair
Video Card: AMD GPU, assembled by ASUS
Optical disk Drive: Very stupid almost-outdated thing but you need it to install your OS, go with ASUS OEM version. your power supply will come with the apropriate power cable and your motherboard will come with a data cable for it.
Hard Drive: Western Digital. Keep in mind they have 3 types, color coded. Green is for tree huggers, black is for performance. Go with caviar black.
Power supply: Corsair
If you get an SSD, go for Intel. SSDs are like hard drives, but have no moving parts. They are alot more expensive per gigabyte. But they are FAST. If you want Windows to load within 10 seconds of pressing the power button, install windows to the SSD. If you want your games to load FAST and perform BEAUTIFULLY, install it to the SSD. Put all of your files and music and videos on your HARD DRIVE because you don't need those to open quick lol.

1-500$ total price = your computer is for your grandmother for checking e-mails and playing solitaire and minesweeper.

501-799$ total price = your computer could probably play Battlefield 3 at an average resolution and medium settings at about 25fps (kinda crappy my friend)

800-999$ total price = you're building a good computer, could play BF3 at larger than average resolution at high settings at about 35fps (this is on the fence between good and bad, so why not spend a TINY bit more and have a GOOD PC? see below!~

1000-1200$ total price = if you have at least a 78xx card from AMD, you can play BF3 at large resolutions on ultra settings at about 50fps (amazing, my friend)

it will take a while and you will be very worried at times like i was during your build. you will have questions. i strongly urge you to watch Newegg's how to build a computer videos on youtube. there's 3 parts. 1 is choosing your components, which is what you have to do first. part 2 is building your computer. i watched that 45 minute video like 10 times (450 mins total, about 8 hours).

the tricky parts you gotta be careful about are as follows:

zero insertion force of CPU into motherboard socket.
always having to de-staticize yourself when touching your motherboard by touching a metal surface.
plugging in very small leads to jumper pins on your motherboard
MAKING SURE YOUR MOTHERBOARD HOLES FIT ON THE CASE.
MAKING SURE YOU DON'T LET YOUR MOTHERBOARD TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CASE EXCEPT THE STANDOFFS THROUGH THE HOLES ON THE MOTHERBOARD.
screwing the fragile fricking motherboard on to the standoffs on your case



Good luck my friend. build it yourself and you will be happier and have better performance. i just built mine yesterday and im about to install the drivers and finish my college semester before i play some AWESOME games. i cant decide on battlefield 3 or waiting till BF4 ;D


>
forgot to list my personal opinion of the best company when it comes to the case. go with Corsair. the carbide 500r is perfect. that's what i built and it's amazing. JUST TAKE MY WORD BRO

Help me choose the best parts to build a computer build?

best gaming pc ever 2012 image

Dominik

Lately I have been thinking about building a computer rig. I decided to use a forum post to do so.


1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
Programming. - Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft Office 2012, Compiling, Graphics, Adobe Master's Collection ( Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks ). Very very little gaming will be done. This rig is not intended to be a gaming rig.

2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM / sellers? If not- why?
Yes

3. What is your MAX budget?
3000 dollars

4. Planning to overclock?
Maybe. I heard that overclocking on processors wear them down. Don't know if it's good to overclock.

5. Which OS are you planning to use?
Windows 7 Professional

6. How much hard drive space is needed?
2 TB

7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want?
If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
Screen resolution: 2560 x 1440 WQHD, 27 inch

8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
8

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Done by an assembler

10. When are you planning to buy the system?
3 week

11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
No

12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
i3 and i5 processors

13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
USA and want to buy parts in the USA

Answer
$3000 is beyond overkill for such a machine. However, it sounds like this is a business machine and therefore I suggest you buy a business class workstation from a Tier 1 manufacturer because you don't want to be troubleshooting stuff by yourself while your money-making computer is down. you want to call someone and have them send the replacement part overnight.

If you insist on building, i'd suggest nix327's build from here

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/toms-hardware-bestconfigs-build-a-pc,3453-3.html

but replace the i3 with an i7-3770 (not the K version since you won't be overclocking) and upgrade the 64GB SSD to the 256GB Samsung 840 in the other build. You'll still be well below $1000 so invest in a nice monitor, maybe one of the 27" 1440p models since I know developers like their real estate space. The onboard GPU in the i7 is more than enough to power that resolution for software development and the occasional flash based game.

How much would it cost to buy or build a gaming desktop?

Anonymous

Hey guys. I'm just wondering how much it will cost to build a desktop that is perfect for gaming and is capable of running new games on ultra even. I have an ok laptop but I hear that desktops are cheaper for the greater power you get, they have more space for more games and plus I'm told if you don't move around alot it's better to get a desktop anyway. I have a techie friend who takes apart and puts together computers all the time and he says that he can build me a great gaming desktop for 600 bucks so he can but the parts. So does anybody know of any desktops on the market aren't fancy like alienware and cost a bunch but can still run all games on high graphics? Any help is greatly appreciated:)
Also I play alot of MMOs and I figure they have different hardware requirements so I hope that helps

Answer
Don't buy alien ware. Once dell bought out the company their computers have not been as great as they once were.

What I'm searching for is the very best motherboard and the very best compatible parts to go with it. That includes the best compatible case, the best compatible processor, the best compatible video card, the best compatible sound card, the best compatible CD/DVD drive, etc. I will need the name of each part and a link to whatever website I can buy it from.

Answer
Best compatible? I really don't get what you mean by that. They're all going to work with each other perfectly.

Case: Custom case, or a heavily modded one.
CPU/GPU: Intel + Nvidia graphics card. You might want to consider waiting until Intel Ivy Bridge + Nvidia Kepler
Mobo: Quality high end motherboard.

How to capture Xbox 360 gameplay from my pc monitor?

pakiballer

I want to capture my xbox 360 game play footage to make a video. I play on a Pc monitor using VGA cables and i have a laptop to connect the capture card to. I need help on figuring out what to buy in order to capture my game play. Thanks.
Keep in mind that im using a VGA for my video input. Also links to the products would be nice. Thanks

Answer
a capture card will suffice. But if you don't want to spend extra money you can videotape it with a camcorder...

I'm sure you mean like if there's a program that you can download so the computer can "videotape" itself

I'm sure there's probably something like that out there but i dunno what it's called

How do you sign up for Skyrim and is it fun?

best gaming pc in the world 2012 image

xUnknown

I hear everyone talking about Skyrim so now I wanna play? what is it? like what do you do?
oh so you can't play for free? you have to buy the game?

Answer
Skyrim is a massive offline role playing game that has you; a dragon slayer, pitted against fantasy creatures, such as giants, demons and dragons, in an effort to thwart an ancient dragon that wants to exterminate mankind.

Game play can be played in first person mode (first person shooter) or third person (3d platformer like super mario 64 or jak and daxter).

Combat is broken down into separate styles, such as, archery, 1 handed combat( including sword and shield, sword and magic, dual wielding, or just 1 sword), 2 handed combat, magic and werewolf strikes.

side note* there are swords, maces and axes available for 1 handed/2 handed combat
side note ** you can become a werewolf through a quest line. Werewolves attack with their 2 front claws, therefore acting like a dual wielder
Side note***You can become a vampire, but this adds abilities to any play style where the werewolf forces you to use only your front claws
side note**** if you download the new dlc for skyrim (currently only available to Xbox 06/28/2012) vampire lords are introduced and there are perk trees(increases damage and abilities for a playstyle) for both werewolf and vampires

You find shouts that allow you to call down thunder, shout at someone with enough force to send them flying over a cliff, breath fire, and there's many others

The rundown...Picture a giant open world like GTA or world of warcraft or any mmo for that matter where you play by yourself, complete quests that npcs give you, find unique weapons and armor, and fight fantasy creatures that can rip you apart.

It is a need to be bought game, available for xbox, ps3 and pc, can be bought through steam/psn/xbpx live, 40+ hours just for the main story. It is a ton of fun if you like rpgs

Transformers Fall of Cybertron or Borderlands 2?

Jester

I enjoyed both of these titles' first games very much. I am a big Transformers fan but I also love the first person shooting action Borderlands has to offer. I only have enough money to pre-order one and get it on its release date but I can't decide. What are your opinions? What will I get better gameplay value out of? Which do you think has a better pre-order bonus? I welcome any and all opinions and answers!

Answer
Hi, I think Borderlands 2 will be a very great game. I just Pre-Order the game for PC download here and will be available to download on September 18, 2012 at 12:00 AM (US/Pacific):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ALUBYQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=acomprar-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008ALUBYQ

Borderlands 2 is a hybrid First-Person Shooter, RPG game focused on over-the-top co-op play, and set in the open-world game environment of the planet Pandora. The second game in the game series, Borderlands 2 raises the 'loot and shoot' action of the original game with an even larger and more detailed world to explore, an updated gun system, a new cast of characters and character classes, and integration of storyline with action.

Also I bought Transformers Fall of Cybertron for my XBOX 360, is in pre-orden until August 28, hope I will end this game until Borderlands came, I'm really fan of video games. I bought Transformers Fall of Cybertron here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UDTTS6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=acomprar-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005UDTTS6

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a third-person shooter that returns players to the Transformer's planet of Cybertron for the final battles of the legendary war that preceded their arrival on Earth. The game continues the story of the earlier game, Transformers: War for Cybertron. Players experience the war from both the Autobot and Decepticon point of view, and utilize new powerful transformer types. Additional features include: epic large scale battles, character specific abilities, character customization, improved enemy AI, varied mission play, and online multiplayer.

How do get a gaming pc at an affordable price?

best gaming pc amazon image

Eddie Hain

I am coming off consoles because I am tired of paying for Xbox live to do what is free on ps3. I am considering to get a gaming PC or laptop. But the prices are crazy for the good ones. I am 20 years old. Is there any way to get one but pay monthly payments. I tried dell but they won't give me credit because of my age. I will try amazon. Any advice for me? Thank you.

Answer
See ASUS G75VW-AS71 17.3-Inch Laptop

can somone point me in the directions of a good gaming pc?

Jay

could someone please point me in the direction of a fairly good gaming pc looking between 400-600 dollars....perhaps a package deal with mouse keyboard and monitor included, im not looking for anything crazy id like to play games like minecraft in high settings, empire total war in high settings, fallout 3 and warcraft 3 tft...best answer gets a 10!!! thanks in advance oo and should i not look on ebay or amazon or is that a good idea?

Answer
Sounds to me like your looking for a pretty basic computer with gaming capabilities, easy. You should go to your local Best Buy, or any store of the like. Find a sales representative and tell him your needs and price range. If you don't like that option, go to newegg.com or ibuypower.com. Those are two very respectable sites where you can customize your own computer. This will allow you to get the computing power you need, without any extra, saving you money. Good luck!

What is the best gaming pc u can build for 1500$?

best gaming pc 1500 image

SlackerAdd

I want to build a good gaming pc, and like most people I want to get the most out of my money. So I have 1500$ to use. Where should I buy it? And what should I buy? (Im building it myself, so i just need the parts)

Answer
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=21203108

Don't think I forgot anything.

That's the build I would make, plus the build I'm slowly upgrading to over time.

What best and affordable components should I get when building a PC?

Ulises

Im researching on the components that are good when I build my PC. Not an expensive custom gaming PC that totals around $1500. I want a PC good enough to run a games on medium perspective. Give me examples on the:
Memory, OS, CPU cooler, Power Supply, Graphics Card, CPU, Hard Drive, and motherboard.
I hope I waste around $700-$900. I already have a case good enough for the components.

Answer
Get this FX-6100/970/8GB/2TB/700watt PSU SuperCombo DIY kit - $557
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.789267

And add this MSI N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozr III - $270 after mail-in rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127615

The above is a GTX570 minus one shader cluster, but can easily attain its original speeds...


That's $830 for a super gaming computer...

Wanna go cheaper, add either this HD6870 2GB - $180
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150563

Or the HD6870 1GB - $145

lol so block wall of text. so basically processors no good? and gpu you guys think i should get the 570 580 too pricy for me lol

but i wanted to buy it in the next couple of weeks so i should

1) what processor?
2) switch gpu to GTX 570
3) get bluray
4) psu down to 750?

ill check out ibuypower and if i drastically change it i will post again with just the basics lolol

Answer
1. Cyberpower is not known for their good building reviews

2. I'd suggest ibuypower, but the best is building it yourself. You can get a better build for less. My machine is less than that somewhat and it has a Core i7 2600K + 8 GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM + Nvidia 570 GTX GPU

3. Caleb is totally wrong about the i7s. Nothing out there beats them at anything now

I'd wait a few weeks then order these parts as replacements

Core i5 2500K CPU @ 3.4 ghz (easily overclockable to 4.5 ghz on air) @ $225 or less at Micro Center
Nvidia 570 GTX or ATI 6970 Radeon video card @ $325-350
8 GB GSkill Ripjaws X 1600 mhz RAM @ $100
ASUS P67 Motherboard @ $150-200
Corsair 700 watt PSU

Are these good gaming specs, is it a good price?

Louis

First off I'd like to say everyone who 'nerds out' these questions while saying "You need to spend £1200" to get a gaming pc can go away since I know that is not true. Sorry for the rough start.

What will I use my PC for? Editing videos using sony vegas, dreamweaver, fireworks and photoshop. I will be using it for programming as well and most importantly gaming (Counter strike, Warrock, Call of duty, Starcraft, Civilisation, mincecraft, battlefield, homefront, rift and probably a few more).

This is copied and pasted by the way. I've already got a headset, I can get a mouse, keyboard, mouse mat and monitor somewhere else. Is this a good deal for £598? Where is better? Should it run my games smoothly (Not needed to be on top settings).

Answer
Realistically? Yeah pretty good and it can play all the games to a certain standard it'll probably perform well, if you can build your own pc with the same budget you can kill that one <.< 3x over LOL that being said you'd probably have to pirate windows 7 to cut costs but since that comes with the OS yeah it seems decent enough.

What are some retail games that have a Steam premium activation code?

Andrew Heo

I want to get premium for my Steam account. Since I don't have a credit card, basically my only choice is to buy a PC game from a retail store and get an activation code from it. The question is: which games have them? My parents won't allow M rated (and T, depending on the game) games, because they don't want me to be those teens on the news that killed people, and that the main factor was caused by violent video games. Thanks in advance.

Answer
I have railworks 2 (now updated to 3 for free) and that gave me premium account using the key in my game case
