Fuck, I thought you meant the main game. I was like "W! T! F!" and fumbling for my wallet...

Yup, that's what I did for Civ5; bought the "gold" edition or whatever it was called in an Amazon sale and redeemed it on Steam and it gave me all the DLC. I guarantee 2kgames will do the same thing with X-com as well eventually. I'll just wait till then or grab it on a nice sale if I really can't do without.

How are you guys liking the game? It sounds pretty awesome.

While simplified from the original, it's chock full of XCom goodness. Aliens, creepy atmosphere, research, base building, UFO interception, tactical combat, it's all there and tons of fun. I have 35 hours played since I bought it during the autumn sale. Do I wish for a bit more depth? Sure, but I can't complain too much. I'm just having too much fun.

It's showing now. At £5.49 ($9) I think I'll pass, as I've got enough games to keep me occupied until it goes on sale.

I usually don't see "new releases" on Steam until 10:00AM PST. I have gotten to the point where I just assume that will be the case with every release. Kind of like with PSN...nothing seems to change or update until 5:00PM PST on Tuesday, even though the PSN newletter always says something like "new this week" when it hits my mailbox on Sunday. I don't have a XBOX, but I assume it is fairly similar.

PR sheet says "is now available for purchase," but I don't see it anywhere.
