    Best Buy offers pre-orders of Portal 2 for PC plus a $10 Reward Zone credit for $34.99. Amazon has the same item for $35, but without the gift card.

    Its like $25 for the game.
    The cheapest one can get for a new game. :D

    Actually, you're forgetting $10 more for the Best Buy offer.

    You get the game for $34.99 + tax and:
    - $10 Gift Card (sent in the mail within 2 weeks)
    - and the $10 Reward Zone credit that you mentioned.

    Sweet deal imo.

    What is this $10 reward zone you speak of? All I see on the site is the $10 gift card.

    Edit: Nevermind I see it. Wow this is so solid. Buying it now. Thanks and +rep to both of you guys :D.

    If you're a RZ member, you'll get a $10 BB certificate e-mailed about 30 days after purchase.

    Someone would like to "sell" this game for $30?

    I'm not in the US and just need the cd-key PMed... :D
