Terminator: Salvation recalled

"An error (-5006:0x80070002) has occurred while running the setup."

Evolved Games have recalled the PC version of Terminator: Salvation upon the discovery of a "bug" that prevents users from installing the game. The company had this to say on their official forums:
Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game. The Xbox 360 and PS3 are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies. The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days. A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.
On the bright side, if you bought the game through Steam, it will install normally, according to GameSpot. You might, however, want to read IGN's review (of the 360 offering) before you buy. To some, dropping $50 on a whole four hours of gameplay (and no online MP/co-op) might feel a bit stupid.
