Dont see it either will give steam a day or so then contact them if it hasnt appeared in my games list

btw, for everyone playing X3: There are a lot of awesome mods and scripts to be found on egosoft's forum (http://forum.egosoft.com/index.php?c=2), e.g. lots of new ships/effects added, MUCH better scripts for freighters buying/selling goods for your factories, MUCH better turretscripts, etc

Hang-on, wut? if you buy it from GG you can still register it on Steam? Does that work with everything you buy from GG? If so I might be more interesting in buying their stuff if I can potentially take advantage of their deals AND still only have 2 DD sites to keep track of for my games!

I bought the X Superbox from GamersGate when it was the Deal of the Day. I made a Steam account months ago when Portal was free, but got disgusted with the client, uninstalled it, and don't intend to install it again. Is there a way for me to enter the X Superbox into my account and qualify for the free new X game without having to install the client again?

Hmmm, I got the Superbox on GG but didn't register it on Steam yet. If I activate it today would I get this new game?
Not that it matters that much. I mean, I still have all the rest to play through and I don't have a joystick yet (thou I hope someone will rectify that for Christmas :P), so it's not a big deal if I won't get the new game added.

Showed up in my Steam list after restarting the client this morning.

For people hoping for it to be very different - it isn't really. It is just an addon to the base X3:TC game that adds an overall War Plot [for Argon, Terran don't get a plot for some reason] or youc an use all of the standard X3 starts [with the War as a background feature/immersion adder]. There are no changes to the engine or much beyond adding some new ships, possibly sectors, and I think some new script packages.

X3 Rebirth will be the game to look forward to if looking for a completely new X experience [possibly].

That all said, AP is nice from what I have seen so far. The war plot starts throw you into the game pretty wel equipped and funded [Argons start w/ Argon Nova Prototype, 6/8 weapon bays filled, and 30k credits]. The main reason [that I can see] to get AP [or play AP if you have it] is to follow the plot line to its conclusion, as it is supposed to link up Rebirth with the previous X plot lines.

Not everything, but there's definitely a lot that can be registered.

Here're a list.

Waited 12 hours now, I'm getting real pissed about Steam as again and again. I won't get peace of mind till I get AP today.

It appeared yesterday on my Steam account. I used the X Superbox key from GG too.
Take into consideration that only those who got the X Superbox get this game for free. If you bought all X games individually you won't get it.

Checked the homepage and they want to release a disc version in february. There will be also a mac-version in apple apps-store, both will cost 10$. A free version you will only get with steam at the moment. I guess it's a special deal with steam to force the people to activate the superbox and bring the fanbase to steam. I really hope they will maybe someday add a drm-free version to the GG superbox.

I have the boxed version of Superbox and steering it clear off Steam, I also have the Steam version of Superbox which I'm using to get AP.
Sadly, they have not confirmed atm that the box version will not have Steam, yet. There's a chance the box version has Steam. Even though I'm getting it free on Steam, I have all intention to get the box version if it doesn't come with Steam, however if Steam is mandatory with the box version I guess I'm not getting anymore.

Yes, would be interesting to know if it's a steamworks game or just a pr-move (earlier release, free). They only say it's an add-on and you need the original game installed. I really hope it's just pr with the goal that many from the community want to play it now, create an account on steam and activate their superbox. Otherwise I don't see a reason why the new add-on should be free and released two month before the disc version.

Nope, I definitely have the full box. I bought the Superbox during the summer sale. Someone suggested that maybe they're not giving it free to people who bought it at a discount. That a) would be asinine and b) doesn't make any sense. One person said I didn't deserve it because I wasn't a true fan. That was funny.

It's still not added. I'm giving it until tomorrow before I contact support again.

The expansion has been officially released on Steam and GG so you should definitely contact support because all X Superbox owners should have it by now.
Who suggested that only "true fans" would get it? That person is an asshole. It's impossible that Egosoft would do something that stupid.

Awesome. I have a boxed copy of the X Superbox. I'll have to look into that tomorrow.
