    Tries to buy COJ: Bound in blood but I forgot I have fcuk all on my debit card so the purchase failed, but then I got an email after saying the credit has been added to my account so I ended up getting it for free :D It doesn't work with steam though, unlike FM 2012 which is still $5.99 http://www.amazon.com/SEGA-40833anager-20121-Football-Download/dp/B005WLRO4M/ref=dsvrt_myd_asin_block

    Just an update, I've managed to get every game on offer here for free, there seems to be a glitch on amazon which means you get the voucher even though the purchase doesn't fully go through. Also the same tricked worked for Mass Effect 3, it gave me a $10 credit which I used to get Payday: The Heist, 2 other good games I saw at around $10 were Civ V and Beyond Good and Evil.

    could I just add a new fake credit card and then it might work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon


    I imagine you will be hit with the bill as soon as there is actual funds in your credit cards.

    I have cancelled all the failed orders so I'm pretty sure they won't :)

    The ME3 one won't apply. :(
    How are you cancelling them?
    The "reason" drop down box isn't filling out for me at all.

    I cancelled them using the iPhone app, couldn't find the option to cancel on the full website.

    Super, thanks.

    I'm on android, downloaded the UK Amazon app, changed country to America and cancelled no problem.

    Got allot of free games tonight, they started banning my accounts :(


    Btw i reccomend using http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/gen-random-us-us.php rather then using your own details and card details.

    Yeah I just want to bump this up... What accounts did they ban Limericks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    The suspense is killing me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon


    I know what you mean. Surely the worst that Amazon could do in this situation is cancel the keys that were sent out in error. They would be pretty stupid to cancel someone's Amazon account and they couldn't have the authority to cancel someone's Steam, Origin or Ubisoft account surely?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭aN.Droid


    The canceled about 4 amazon accounts I made :P

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭aN.Droid

    I got 2 football manager 2012 keys, one for me and one for a friend, civ5 and all its dlc, and all the shogun 2 dlc. all in all about 20 keys.

    Ubisoft and DRM Free? WTF - I thought that they were one of the biggest players behind ridiculous DRM. Is this a trial to see what happens?

    They're old games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    That hasn't stopped them before. Anyhow, several are only about 4 years old which is still fairly young.

    I'm impressed by Ubisoft's change of mind and their pricing but I just wouldn't have time to play them so I'm not sure it would be worth my while getting any of them no matter how cheap they are!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,636 ✭✭✭dotsman


    How did people get past this?
    Amazon wrote:
    Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address

    It applies to all the games.

    In relation to Far Cry, I would avoid as, even if you are still on a 32-bit OS, you won't be for much longer. You can download a version compatible with both 32/64-bit from GOG. Still a brilliant game, even when compared to today's FPS's

    Theft is theft lads

    Probably some poor lad in the states getting the sack over this :P

    Some of the games are shocking anyways.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    You can just fill in a US address. Pick a state and do a search online for the corresponding zip codes. Since nothing is posted, it doesn't really make a difference. You might have had to bought something from them before to clear their credit card checks.
    Beware that some states have different taxes.

    In fairness, at that price, it's not going to kill you to pay it. I hope that any losses with this doesn't push Ubisoft back to horrible DRM. Or maybe it's amazon that would be bearing the cost.

    Does Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 work on Steam?
