I also pre-ordered to find out what's in the box.
What's worrying is this urge of mine (and yours) to buy a pig in a poke.
Hopefully, I'll be able to find something I like (and don't have) in the box. And if not, more gifts to people!

Think we can pass the unwanted games off as "especially-bought-for-you!" Christmas presents? :P

Did they not do a version for you guys in the US?

I picked this up because last year they gave out Tomb Raider 2013. Just that for £5 was not too bad, so I go what the hell this year.

Seems a little odd, even for SE, I would have thought they would have done it as a whole world thing. Most countries are celebrating something a this time of year.

No they didn't unfortunately and I can;t afford to risk it right now, the codes will prolly work I just can't risk it right now.
