Worked for me after I downloaded it through the client - what a bargain, and what a brilliant game!

If you don't have an Xbox Live account, just create one - it's free!

Download the client and then purchase the game from there... Just bought it using my Irish XBL account without any issues that way.

@Deutschlandfü;rimmer7 - the download is 2.75GB, so could take anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours depending on the speed of your connection...

Jaafa

nice find OP. Big up.

Thanks maki !! Downloading now

witless1

Great find

I purchased the game but having problems downloading it, the client crashes out randomly -- as in completely locks up. The download server is probably being hammered so might try it later on if it's still giving me grief!

Yo Buddy. You still alive?

Nice find op. Downloaded it to

Pity the client does not show the prices with the games rather than having to click on each one to see the price.

kendragon

Fantastic deal... couldnt pass it up... thanks OP

Working for me now, just download the client and pay 10 cents via your credit card and voila! Seems to be very slow downloading though...

Thanks for the alert!

Yeah tis quite slow. Probably the sheer number of people that are downloading it now.

Open the GFWL client and go to downloads, click on the game there and choose "View Game Keys"

Downloading now ...... great giveaway .... thanks op.

Tusky

Could someone give me a hand - Ive made a new account with a UK address. Then when I go to pay it wont authorize as the address obviously doesnt match my cc address.

I have an xbox live account but im not sure which email it is linked to.

If you don't have an Xbox Live account, just create one - it's free!

But if you create an account you can only choose N.Ire, Eng, Wales, Scotland - neither of these will fit in with the credit card, unless im missing something ?

BeanFlicker

cheers op, class find

RolandIRL

don't have a credit card, but i remember cheeryghost saying something about Bing rewards and getting free MS points. would that work with these?

Oat23

Brilliant. Logged into my old XBL account and I had 60msp left so I used 10 of them .

Cheers OP.

No only Americans get the microsoft points from that. :mad:

grizzly

I've seen it for 9c somewhere else.

Nollog

Will the game be bound to the account or can you use it with a different/without a live account?

Oh, I never thought of that! I was in the middle of creating an account, when I realised the e-mail was already in use. I was confused, but I realised I had a Microsoft Live account from when I installed GTA IV for the PC.

Was that including VAT? This game is 9c, and then 1c for VAT!

Sierra Oscar

Amazing offer!

Welease

FYI.. because a lot of people on the web seem to have the same problem..

If your marketplace client keeps crashing during download... Installing .Net v4 seems to fix the problem..

VampiricPadraig

Got the game downloaded within a couple of hours and got to play it. Quite good. Multiplayer is still pretty active with around 3000 players on.

I am really happy that I got the complete collection for just 10MSP. Deal of the Year. How will Steam top that lol?

Btw, I did buy this through the GFW client!

entropi

Wont accept CC details, and keeps giving a connection error when I try to rectify it...

It's an amazing deal, but sadly one I cannot avail of And I loved AoE II.

Kylo Ren

Deal of the year! You could't buy a crappy looking hat for your avatar for that. Sound OP!!!

You could buy an 800 point card from somewhere like live-codes.com (you'll receive it by email within a few minutes)
But I guess you'd then have 790 points which will be useless to you unless you plan on buying more stuffs from the GFWL marketplace... (or xbox live)

I used an AIB Visa card and was able to add it and buy it.

TheChrisD

Well, this sure was a nice surprise. Booted up the GfWL client and bought it no problems from there!

Sure, the game is pretty ****e in comparison to Age2, but hey, 10c? I can deal with the fact it's no good

allanb49

how long is this offer on for?
