Prey Additional Content to be Free

A little while back, we announced that additional content was being worked on for Prey. It is still being worked on, but we have a small (but important) update to bring you on this.

This new content will be free of charge. This goes for both the PC side and the Xbox 360 side.

Just to remind folks, we're working on some new multiplayer skins (play as Jen, Elhuit, etc), and some new multiplayer maps. Both are coming along nicely, but the exact number of both is as of yet not finalized, so I can't tell you exactly what will be in the content pack.

As usual, there's no date for this, the materials will be out "when they're done" (although sooner than later I'd imagine ). Given that we received the "official" word this afternoon, we didn't want to wait to bring you this update, which many people have been asking us about.

Get Max Payne 2 for TWO BUCKS

We were just informed of a sale that Gamestop/EB Games is having. They're selling NEW copies of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne for $1.99 each. This is for either the Playstation 2 or Xbox consoles. (Please note that Max 2 for the Xbox 1 does work on the Xbox 360 via their backwards compatibility mode).

If you've never played Max Payne 2, now is the time. We have no idea how long this sale will last, or how many copies they have to sell, so if you're interested, you'd better do it immediately before they run out of stock, or turn off the sale price.

As an added bonus, if you use the coupon code SAVER with your order, you will get free USA Value shipping, which means your order total will be $1.99 (plus tax), and no shipping. Please see their site for further details. Here are the links you will need to use to get to these offers:

One final note about this. Please be aware that you are NOT ordering this from Apogee/3D Realms, you are ordering from the online etailer EBGames.com/Gamestop.com. Please do not call our order line or our customer service departments about this, they will know nothing about it and be unable to help you. You must go through these links above.

Canadian Prey LCE Coupon Info

This morning we have received an email from 2K Games about a minor problem with the versions of Prey distributed in Canada. They were missing the download voucher for the Prey Soundtrack in the box. We are here to bring you information on how to obtain said coupon if you were one of the affected customers. Here is the text from 2K Games on this issue:


2K has identified that certain units of the Prey PC and Xbox 360 Limited Collector's Edition distributed in Canada did not include the DirectSong free soundtrack download voucher in the package. 2K has established a redemption program to provide soundtrack download vouchers to Canadian customers who purchased the bilingual Limited Collector's Edition and did not receive the voucher.

Affected customers should mail the bilingual Prey Limited Collector's Edition sleeve (o-card) that fits over the metal case, along with their name and complete mailing address to:

Prey LCE Redemption Program
c/o Interlinc Direct
1-65 Superior Blvd
Mississauga ON L5T 2X9

The sleeve will be returned along with the voucher. In the event the sleeve has been discarded, customers can mail their original receipt with the Edition circled. Receipts will not be returned. This program is only valid for customers who purchased affected copies of the bilingual Canadian Prey Limited Collector's Edition.
