For those of you who want the gamestop pre order but the gam

Just a helpful tip for those people who might not know.

You can pre order the game via gamestops digial downloads. Once you place your order with them on their digital downloads site, click on my account, then games purchased. click "view" for that order you placed and it lists your cd key there. Once you have your cd key, simply go to steam and then click "games" and "activate a product on steam."

It then ties the game to your steam account and you can go ahead and pre load it as though you bought it on steam. You won't get your pre order items from gamestop until tomorrow (they are emailed) but this is a way that you can play the game tonight with the Steam pre orders while getting the best pre order pack also since the binocs you can buy in the game.

Already did this myself.

Seems like a lot of effort for some Vault 13 brand gear. I mean, it's ending up on steam either way.

Lot of effort? You buy it via gamestop, look at your cd key and put it on steam through two simple clicks.

Because gamestops pre order has the only canteen in the game that isn't connected to a piece of armor. So if you want to wear clothing that has no attached canteen, you'll have no water supply unless you have that canteen. Hence for those who want to play on hardcoe with the water/food, etc this is the best thing to get.

With steam the binocs aren't the only ones in the game, you can buy them from stores in the game.
