My [censored] i just got this game today special edition i can clearly see what the cd key is though the little sticker its on is like this
XXX-RAGE-XXX
XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
I will try restarting the computer and i'll take the cd out now. Pretty annoyed

dont add the xxx-rage-xxx part and it will work;)

@OP are you trying to register the EU/UK version of the game?, if so you will not be able to register/active the code on steam until Friday when it is released for the rest of the world.

I'm from Aus. I'll try again on Saturday just to be sure and and i tryed not added the ohter part A_live still nothing, thogh i did try to add the dlc but said i needed the game installed first

Thank god for the info above..

Was going nuts input it xxx-Rage--xxx
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

nothing.

But left out the rage part and it worked.

Why does above line even exist if its the lower line one shall use,just wondering?

it's a test if you can't figure out how to enter the confusing key you have no chance of figuring out how to do all the fixes required to make the game playable

Thank god it wasn't just me that the confusing dvd sticker confused.
