Age of Empires III - 10p. Yes. 10p.

[Andrew_McP]

That's quite clever marketing. Once our credit card details are set up we'll be more easily tempted by later offers. I certainly fell for it.

I enjoyed AoE 1 & 2, but the 3 demo didn't thrill me. At 10p it would be rude not to give it another try one day... when I'm bored. Probably really bored. I still have games from last Xmas's Steam sale which I haven't played. I need a month off work to prepare for this Xmas.

Might be a stupid question, but where is the product key stored?
Do they actually post out the retail packaging?
I am trying to install and it is asking for a key, and i can't see any electronic reference to one.

Ugh, my account thinks I'm in the United States and there's no way to change it (despite my account being @hotmail.co.uk) Now it looks like I can't use my Windows Live account to buy anything.

Nope, it's a digital copy.

• Open your GFWL client.
• Downloads > All Downloads.
• Select AoE III.
• View Game Keys.

My PC crashed halfway through the download and now it's reset to zero.

 

[Pookie Bear]

Well-spotted - thanks for the heads up!

 

[Destination]

[rsatd]

Nice find!

 

[spudbynight]

Hmm....when I add it to my cart it goes back up to full price.

 

[BurningHorizons]

Did that to me too. Try adding it again, it eventually works.

I wonder if those of you that are having gip are using Live accounts that have never been used on an Xbox?

 

[BurningHorizons]

Thanks for this. I have the original, but I've never played the expansions.
Although not as good as AOE2, it's still a good game, and a steal at 10p!

I was in that boat. I had to login to XBOX.COM before it would allow me to shop.

Finally got it working. I don't know if I will ever play this but for 10p it is worth a punt.

 

[Monkeymatt]

Good find, I was wondering what to do with all of my Microsoft points, now downloading!

 

[chrismscotland]

10p Brilliant, and it seems to be the whole thing AOE3 along with the expansion packs, almost paid £15 for this in Game the other day!!!!!

 

[PapaLazaru]

Nice find OP.

But I need some help. I have the abomination that is GFWL on my C drive for some reason. This is my OS SSD.

I don't want GFWL on my C drive. The fact that it is an MS programme worries me though.

I should be able to unistall it then reinstall onto my games drive? I hope so or I am stuffed.

 

[Deadbeat]

Ha, forgot I had 880 points on there from so long ago. Bonus. Thanks, OP.
