Call of Duty Black ops is available for Pre-Load on steam (as you all probably know…) But now the game is also Pre-Loadable from Direct 2 Drive!

The D2D prices are as following: 59.95€/ 59.95$ and the UK Version costs 39.95£ (~45€)

I dont know if its region strickted, but if it is, then the uncut versions will be banned from germany and japan (not registerable on german steam account i think)

You cant yet tell if activision is going to remove those cheap cd keys from the far east off of western steam accounts. (Like they did with mw2)

As for UK keys in the 'EU' (as we all know, the UK is NOT part of the European Union…) My mw2 key was also from the UK version and I had no problems on austrian Steam with it.

As for me, I preordered it there and already downloaded it (The store site falsely states that a 3rd party download is required, tho you can preload it thru d2d)

Hum?

No it was a joke about Steam prices.

US/EU prices are similar to the Steam

You know, thats why you should order it from .co.uk (if you order it from there)

Compared to steam you can choose the currency you pay in, just change the region
