I haven't played Chaos Rising yet, but I'd imagine it would depend if you like the Space Marines or Chaos Space Marines better. Chaos Rising might be a better choice because it is newer and will probably be on sale less frequently, so if you really like it it will be cheaper/you will have to wait less time to buy the other.
Digital River is horrible. It took them 1.5 hours to send me the keys for my purchase. =\
Side note: I only have to download 1 MB for Chaos Rising. Apparently when you get one you get them both, but only have access to the one you purchased (I bought DoWII vanilla a while ago).

Question if one got the serial could they use that and connect that to the steam account cause Steams down-loader at least will pause when my internet connection dies...
Wouldnt mind picking up metro and some of the others. :)

Metro 2033, Dawn of War 2, and Chaos Rising require you to use Steam. I'm not even sure if you can download them from THQ. Activating them on Steam and dling them from there is definitely an option.

I think making up an address worked for some people.

It's an issue of my bank card accepting and letting the charges go through,

Ah, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. =\

It's a constant issue.... with steam my ISP addy needs to match up with the billing details,
My whois is out of Amsterdam,
my isp is out of Iraq,
and it is registered out of Germany........as an APO, US :P
It took a few emails/months for valve for them to grasp that concept, and Digital river seems to not quite get it :p
My work pc is out of VA, USA, but the server is based in England, and then to top it off, my desktop also has screwed up isp.......
So it might appear to some people when I send an email that I am either somewhere in the EU, somewhere in Iraq, or somewhere in the US lol........

So the plus side is you get to screw with people.
The downside is that you don't get to buy anything. =P

I r interested in getting Saira. I didn't like the demo much...well, at least I enjoyed it up till the lava level, which frustrated me to no end. But heck, at that price, I'm willing to give it another go.
Now if only they can get VVVVV to hit the same price too.
Btw the list has just been expanded. Now there's also Trine, Max and the Magic Marker and a slew of other games up there, apart from Ubisoft. Rejoice!
I bought Max and the Magic Marker on Steam, having not been able to find it anywhere else, but since it's on Gamersgate, I'll buy it again.
