Yeah, AMD was giving them out. I missed all of the giveaways and have already spent all of my points trying to get it on here and have lost them all. I just want a good racing game, dammit D:

Exactly what Sp33dking89 said. There was a promotion from AMD. All you had to do was answer a few questions and such, and you get a Dirt 3 key which can be steam activated.

The problem was a bunch of those keys arent actually useable.

They are very much usable, it is just that people are too lazy to read, or think. They just try to paste the code they get from the promotion into the Steam key activation box, while it is not the Steam key but the promo code to get the Steam key. It is all explained in detail on the promo page.

AMD has been giving Dirt 3 via a code you get with their select products.

They are also giving 12600 Dirt 3 keys, 1800 at a time from their Vision Challenge promotion. And those are the main source of the Dirt 3 keys that you see here.

While the idea is that those keys are for the residents of those countries listed that do solve their very easy quiz, they are not IP blocked, so people from all around the world have been grabbing those 1800 keys as soon as the the promotion for one of those countries start.

As far as I know, so far they gave out the keys for Brazil, Republic of Korea and India. Five more countries worth of keys remain. If you are the type ;)

It seems the Russian one was last night. You got to keep an eye out on forums that are tracking these to make into the first 1800. Four more remain.

Check the Online Deals section of overclock.net, and the Freebies section of redflagdeals.com.

And don't forget to post here if you see one of the remaining regions open their contest!

There are guides to these made by some people I don't know, like this one:

AMD is giving away copies of Dirt 3 (Steam activatable) again  - Go here: http://visionchallenge.votigo.com/contests/showpage/selectregion - Select India. Everything is in English this time. Thanks Britain. - Click Vote for a Challenger then vote for your Indian groom-to-be. - Create an account and fill in the captcha. - Answer a simple 3 question multiple choice quiz. When in doubt, just choose answers that heavily favor AMD, all of the above, or mention the APU somewhere. You will get a unique code at the end. - Take your unique code and go to http://www.amd.com/Dirt3promo to claim your Steam key. There should be only ~1800 codes so hurry.

This one was made for the Indian one early this week obviously, but they seem to be using English from now on so it would help. Also if you answer wrong in the quiz, it lets you answer again, so no worries there.

I think they used English because it is the one of the only common languages known and spoken by the majority of the people in India. India has so many different languages- each region has its own almost, so the official language of the Indian Union is Hindi with English as an additional language for official work- hence why they probably used English.... Which countries are left anyway? Korea, Brazil, India and Russia are over so that leaves Turkey and UAE? Do you know of a site or feed that tracks when these country's vision sites are going to be running the contest?

Can you only participate when you live in one of those listed countries.. that is of course when the giveaway is open?

Nope, the only barrier was the language barrier, which they gave up on since everyone used Google translate anyway.

They are announcing the opening of the challenges from the AMD homepage for that country, so their citizens gets the first chance to grab one of those 1800 keys before the rest of the world hears about it. I heard the Russian keys were gone in the blink of an eye.

Russian ones were on for a good hour. I would know cause a person on my stream friends likes to hoard them and then give them away. Think he got a good 80 or so.

Getting them isn't hard when it's up. You just have to have reliable source telling you when it's up.

By the way, here's a suggestion for everyone who doesn't have dozens of spare email adresses (you can only use an email address once, even for different regions): 10 Minute Mail

Why wouldn't you just send to one email?

Try it. You can still submit entries for the previous rounds, even though you won't get a key. When you use the same email address for the next round, it will say something like "email address already used".

Basically, the 10 minute mail site helps people who already used their own email address after the codes for previous rounds were already gone.

I already did try it. There is a trick to make it go to one email. I'll post a proof later.

I got one more key, and it's going to be given away here on Steamgifts. But the giveaway won't start....until 10pm..(Darn, shouldn't tell anyone the time. Oh well, no one knows what time zone I'm in). It's going to only last an hour so it's a good shot to win the game, finally.
