Vast majority of steam keys are ROW, with only a select few being region locked (Dead island being one I think). You should be fine buying off those sites, ive never had any issues.

Don't pay for it with PayPal unless you have a US verified account. I used my Irish credit card and they took payment and processed the order. Still haven't received the code yet though. Do they email it?

Ya but it took a while. Reading through reddit now they seem to be cancelling a lot of orders though. The game should be dirt cheap to buy on trading forums after this anyway.

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 3:01am

Yeah, though they say it usually arrives within 30 mins, but can take up to 8 hours. I'd say they're being hammered right now as well, as word of this spreads. I can see them running out of keys.

Bugger. Got a feeling I won't get this one. Pity. Cheers for putting it up though.

AlmightyCushion · 12-07-2013 3:18am

Cancelled because they couldn't verify my information. Might be because the address I gave them didn't match my card address.

Corvo Attano · 12-07-2013 3:19am

How do you find out if it was canceled? Email?

AlmightyCushion · 12-07-2013 3:25am

Yeah, mine got cancelled. I put through a second order with the address Tinie provided on the steam sale thread. Hopefully that works.

Corvo Attano · 12-07-2013 3:27am

I have a fully fleshed out address in Philadelphia so hopefully im well in. Been waiting near an hour

Don't think it's in relation to the actual address, but rather the fact your CC is from Ireland.

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 3:30am

My two orders are still "in process". Don't expect them to be finalised, going by what you guys are saying. Ah well, 'twas a bit of excitement!

Tinie · 12-07-2013 3:32am

This is what everyone will remember from the steam summer sale of 2013 ! :pac:

Danger781 · 12-07-2013 7:46am

Anyone having issues using their Irish cards to buy stuff from Steam? Neither my Visa or Mastercard seemed to work. Had to use PayPal.

Friend of mine experienced the same problem.

I know my friend experienced some problems for about an hour yesterday but after some determination it finally allowed him to use his debit card.

Dravokivich · 12-07-2013 9:36am

I think its likely the issue with steam was perfomance based more so than the credit cards. It kept coming up with 503 errors all the time for me on the website and in steam itself.

Danger781 · 12-07-2013 10:08am

New Flash Sale:
Duke Nukem 3D -66% €3.39
Football Manager 2013 -75% €8.74
Little Inferno -75% €2.24
Civilization V -75% - €7.49

New Community Choice:
Saints Row the Third -75% €4.99

Mister Man · 12-07-2013 10:43am

just so everyone knows, I got my third cancelation email from Best Buy after using the Texas address. No 1 cent game for me anyway

Fair play Tinie for find that though! Looks like it was actually legit

quinnd6 · 12-07-2013 11:07am

Is kinguin.net reliable and safe?
The games are so cheap on it.
In a lot of cases they demolish the steam sale prices.

Skerries · 12-07-2013 11:13am

it's as reliable as any of those key reseller sites, with the only caveat being about the possibility that Steam might not honour the game but that doesn't happen
Also make sure it doesn't need a vpn to activate the game due to region locking

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 11:21am

Ha, the two orders I tried to make for Metro LL are still "in process" this morning. I'm telling ya, if I don't get my €0.02 refunded there'll be hell to pay!!

Corvo Attano · 12-07-2013 11:23am

Im dying to find out if I got in in time and got my copy.

AlmightyCushion · 12-07-2013 11:49am

My order was cancelled today. Ah well, it was worth a shot.

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 11:50am

There's an Atari Promotion over at GOG for the weekend.

marko93 · 12-07-2013 11:55am

Hotline Miami worth a go?

Danger781 · 12-07-2013 11:59am

For that price I don't see the risk. Heard nothing but good things. Got ~85 on metacritic.

Corvo Attano · 12-07-2013 12:04pm

Its a bloody brilliant game. I'd recomend it even if it was a tenner.

Nuuvem has the Skyrim DLCs for 6.73 each.

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 12:07pm

marko93 wrote: »

Violent, visually striking, great soundtrack, challenging and bloody good fun. As Corvo says, worth it at full price. At a little over €2, it's a no brainer.

Check the price on Amazon.com though. They were price matching indie titles in the last couple of days, and throwing some free games into the mix as well.

Edit: Yeah, it's €1.92 on Amazon.com at the moment. Use the voucher code GOONCAVE for an extra 15% off!

Edit 2: That GOONCAVE code can only be used once (thanks Danger781) so use it on a bigger purchase if possible.

Corvo Attano · 12-07-2013 12:09pm

Buy it now!!! Buy 8. Give one to your mom just get that game.

McSasquatch · 12-07-2013 12:24pm

Speaking of Amazon.com, the Deep Silver "Power Pack 2" (Steam) is available for just under €10.90. It includes;

Saints Row 2 & 3 (Full Package)
Dead Island GOTY
Metro 2033.

Apparently, you can use the code GOONCAVE for another 15% off, but it didn't work for me that time - maybe you can only use it once.

One off code I'm afraid

Damn wish I hadn't wasted it on getting 15% off Hotline Miami think I saved a cool 20c on that

That is perfectly acceptable behaviour in these circumstances. If anything, you'll be getting around to it a bit too quickly. :pac:

Once you start playing you'll wish that you never bought it. It will infuriate you but slowly reveal its beauty.

Used it a few times in the past couple of months. No issues as of yet. The site gives you fair warning about VPN keys. Best to heed that warning and avoid them.

Mickeroo · 12-07-2013 2:45pm

I got hotline miami off amazon there, then they e-mailed me me giving me three other games for free! Not bad for less than 2 euro!

Is it all the one key?

No, four separate ones.

Perfect! Was just about to splash the 7 odd quid on Saints Row The Third on steam! Glad I check here first!

GetGamesGo has up to 75% off Codemaster racing games here. All activate on Steam apparently.

Richard Dower · 12-07-2013 7:16pm

Very good deal here, they are 25 in most places incl. Smyths/Gamestop.
