    Default Pre-Order Duke Nukem Forever and get free onlive console

    If you pre-order Dule Nukem Forever (you have until June 13 I think) you'll get a free onlive console. you have to pay for shipping.

    Since I was going to get it anyway, this is great for me

    I'm still considering it. After all this time, I kind of want to own a physical copy of the game...

    Maybe.

    What worries me about Onlive is that I feel it will be dead within a year and any game I purchased I will no longer have access to.
    Bury me with my money......*dies*

    hahaha OH WOW. I misread that as

    "If you pre-order Dule Nukem Forever (you have until June 13 I think) you'll get a free online console. you have to pay for shipping."

    That would have been the perfect pre-order bonus considering it's Duke Nukem Forever XD

    A Duke Nukem game good enough to set up another console for? It better be.
    Lum fan.

    It's not, but they do require you to set-up and register the console within 7 days of receipt. If you fail to do so, you will get charged the full $100 value. If you can't connect because of issues with your ISP, you have to return the console at your expense or again you'll be charged. The shipping is $10 or $20 depending on the speed you want it to be delivered. If you live in a state with sales tax, you will also be charged whatever the tax would be on the $100 console. So, it's not really free and it requires you to put your credit card info on file with them.

    How do they know what day you received it? Do they manually check delivery confirmation or what?

    Actually, I'm sure they have an automated delivery confirmation system like most online businesses that ship items out. I'm assuming it's to prevent people from reselling them or collecting them.

    I just did the preorder. It was a little confusing.

    I went into the onlive app and clicked pre-order and there wasn't really any notification that I was getting a free console. I was a little concerned.

    A few seconds later I got an email confirming the purchase and giving me a promo code for a console. You have to go to the onlive website, order it as usual, and input the code, which knocks the price down to zero.

    You need to pay for additional controllers and component cables (in case your TV doesn't support HDMI). I just stuck with HDMI and a single controller.

    Price of shipping was $9.99 for 2 day shipping or $19.99 overnight.

    No if you cancel the preorder you have to pay for the console.

    If you want the console just pay for it. It really is a good deal.

    wait this just dawned on me, are you preordering the actual physical game thru onlive? or are you preordering the digital on live cloud based game???


    one of these...is a deal breaker
