Been trying all of yesterday and today and only managed to get Men of War checked out.
Their "Capsule" software, however, now just sits loading constantly on "Fetching details of your games portfolio..." so I can't actually download it.
GreenManFailing.
EDIT: Seems like it's completely monged out. If I try to buy ARMA II now, it shows that my account has, to trade, a copy of Men of War and TWO copies of ARMA II, and I can't use the free code again. However, if I go to the main page and look at my account, I only have Men of War.
Capsule simply won't load fully to show what I ACTUALLY have.
ULTRA fail.
EDIT 2: Added Tower Bloxx, checked out OK and now all three show on the account. Seems I've got ARMA II twice though in terms of trade-in.

Also getting stuck when I load up their Capsule thingy. I've hopefully got all 3 games though as they're coming up on my account on the web site.

Haven't managed to. Still can't download any of the games.

I was halfway through downloading ArmA II but the capsule stopped working

Probably WAYYY too much demand on their download servers I imagine, just like the website was pwnd, so is the download service.
Soldato
least you'll get the games at somepoint i can't even register to recieve the games..
Soldato
Regestering takes about a minute if that. Usernamer, e-mail and password, that's it. You don't even have to log into your e-mail to confirm anything, simply register and log-in.
Sound lazy to be honest. Oh well, your loss.

added them on facebook too, they seem to respond to problems a lot faster when you msg them on there, seems like they have someone updating it very regularly, took like 2 mins for me to get a response on their page
(edit) this was on their page 6 mins ago
Website issues – now fixed!

First off, please allow me to apologise for the problems many of you have experienced this past day or two. We received an incredible response to our free games promo with The Sun and clearly we were un-prepared for the onslaught of gamers wanting a piece of ‘free games pie’.
Our tech guys have been working like mad to find the cause of the problem, and I’ve just been told that a solution has been found and rolled out (the reason for this blog).
If you’ve been trying to redeem a code and you’re getting an ‘already used’ error, please submit a support ticket and we will re-issue you with a new code as they can only be used once per IP address/account.
Again, I apologise for the problems with the site and the obvious inconvenience it has been to you.

Do we have to download these games via capsule?
The capsule can't seem to fetch my game portfolio
Edit: Also how many times can we download the three games? There doesn't seem to be activation key for the Tower Bloxx
