we are running perilously close to running out of codes (already!). So get it while you can.
We'll try to get more, but that went much quicker than expected.

Thank you, Sir!![]()
Most of our giveaways have focused on hardware products, but this week, we've partnered with Aspyr to set up a special one-of-a-kind giveaway. We've teamed up to offer our MacRumors readers a free copy of the ultra popular game Civilization V: Campaign Edition, which normally retails for $29.
We've created a dedicated page for the giveaway. Head over there to get a promotion code for Civilization V: Campaign Edition that can then be redeemed within the Mac App Store. The promotion is open to readers worldwide.
For those of you unfamiliar with Civilization V, it's a turn-based strategy game that lets players lead a civilization to world domination through time, waging wars, discovering technologies, trading with friendly nations, and interacting with some of the world's most powerful historical leaders. Civilization V: Campaign Edition includes the base game, the Babylon Civilization Pack with Nebuchadnezzar II, plus the Mongols Civilization and Scenario Pack.
We're providing each of our readers with one promo code apiece, and codes will be available through July 31 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time or until all codes have been claimed. Codes will expire on August 4, so make sure to enter your promo code in the Mac App Store before then. Visit the giveaway page.
Update 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time: We've just exhausted our supply of Civilization V promo codes. We're working on getting more codes to give away and we'll let our readers know when we're able to distribute more, so stay tuned.

Thanks. I initially did not read the instructions and actually purchased the App. Realizing my error I went back and used the code properly. Apple did charge me for the initial purchase but immediately issued a refund when I reported my error. So, thanks MR for the gamer and thanks Apple for the good customer service.
I ran into that problem . To find it, look in the right hand side margin under the Featured tab when App store first opens
arn, thank you for this information.
Isn't the Iris 5100 much slower, than these dedicated cards (like Geforce 8800)?
Because if I try to look at these numbers it seems, there is a big difference:

And this is the desktop version of Intel HD 5100! The Mac mini has a notebook version.
I managed to get in on this promotion too, and yes -- it's a fantastic title to give away for free!
In my case though, I already purchased Civ 5 via Steam, when they ran a sale on it shortly after the product launched. The good thing about this App Store version is it includes several of the expansion sets that Steam wanted to charge me $15 or more each to add on to my base game.
The odd thing, though? I'm told you can't play this App Store edition of Civ 5 multiplayer against others over the Internet -- only on a local LAN. The Steam version didn't have that limitation.
