    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.

    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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭McSasquatch


    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,550 ✭✭✭quinnd6


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

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭McSasquatch


    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!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


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


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,046 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭McSasquatch


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,005 ✭✭✭marko93


    Hotline Miami worth a go?

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


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


    Nuuvem has the Skyrim DLCs for 6.73 each.

    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.
