activating preorder key after release?

Hello!
I'd like to know if you get the preorder bonuses, when you activate the code shortly after release.

"Normally" yes - at least you get your pre-order bonus for tradeable pre-order Steam games, even if you activate them after the release.

I doubt that there is an all-round answer to this, and it may vary from game to game. Better check with Steam support or the game support directly.

Ok.. I guess there's a chance then.. I'm going to buy a new computer(probably next week) and I will get a Borderlands 2 steam download, but I think it'll come after the release and I don't want to pay 10€ for the dlc character..

Uhm, but You can pre-order BL2 now to secure your bonuses... no need to do this on your new PC.

Unless I understood you wrong.

Key for BL2 is in box with card, so you can activate it right away :)

If it's stated you get the bonus, then probably yes. I didn't get those TF2 items when activating a Quantum Conundrum key half a day before release on Steam

That's because Steam pre-order bonuses (like TF2 items) are for things you pre-order on Steam. If you buy it somewhere else and then activate it, it doesn't work, you only get whatever pre-order bonuses were sold to you with that key.
