    Quantum Break down to €41.74 on cd-keys: https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/games/quantum-break-xbox-one/?mw_aref=pcbd
    I wonder will the Windows 10 key also be with the Xbox game like the Microsoft promotion.

    Since its a digital key I would have thought it still counts as a pre-order? Cant be sure though.

    It's not, it's just the base game.

    Apparently they strip out the preorder bonus and sell it for themselves. That's pretty much why it's on discount now.

    I just sent them a message on FB asking if it comes with Alan Wake, they said:
    Sorry we cant guarantee that as we have got no confirmation from the supplier yet. If anything changes we will post an update on our Facebook Page

    Yep, just got a reply confirming that it is the base game only. They must want to stock pile the free windows 10 keys and sell them separately.

    Just got an email from amazon about Quantum Break. American nightmare no longer coming with it. That's crap.

    But instead you get Kameo! How cool is that?? Everyone loves Kameo! Right? Right?

    No.


    All to do with the rating, Alan Wake is 18, while Quantum Break is 16. I doubt that there's anything in Alan Wake that would be disturbing to a sixteen year old, but what do I know?

    Yeah I just read that about age rating. I already have Kames through rare replay. There should be an choice giving.

    It should come with Alan Wake still. A code will be sent to your Xbox account within 7-10 days.

    Bought a code off Amazon for Fallout 4 and that is how Fallout 3 was delivered.

    Pretty sure that this'll will happen wherever you buy it. No major company wants to get caught giving an 18 game to a sixteen year old.

    Yeah. Even all online orders with Game are now getting Kameo. You still get American Nightmare in store upon presentation of id.

    Still unknown if no Alan Wake, no code is supplied but preorder items like this usually come later in an Xbox message when purchased digitally.

    If you purchase DLC while on vacation, will it work on my game which I bought in Ireland?
    Also, do you have a recommended website to consult where to go on vacation for an older DLC (Horizon 2 Storm Island, maybe car pass)?

    Are we able to go on holiday again? I'd heard they'd shut the airports after some issues in Japan.

    That's a very good price for a disk version considering its €45 (could be gone up now) on CD Keys.

    Got it on CD Keys for that as GameStop wanted €75 and wasn't paying that.
