Dirt 2 - £6 on D2D

Phinor said:
Actually you can get it for a ridiculously low price if £6 is still too much (...). Open the D2D US site, buy the game and use coupon code PAX2010 which takes $5 off the price. The US site adds some taxes but even with Finland's tax rate of 23%, the game ended up costing me $1.23. The coupon should work on any number of purchases for the rest of the September but it doesn't help much if you are planning to buy full priced titles as the added taxes are quite a lot for $50 games.

That sounds awesome.
How do you open the D2D US site? Whenever I try to visit it, it bumps me back to the Uk site.

Just tried the code, does not appear to work with D2D US with dirt 2 - claims it is invalid.

The code was actually disabled at some point during Sunday. The code was supposed to work for the whole September but people were literally buying dozens of games for $1-$2 each so I guess they killed it off.

No idea why someone might get re-directed from the US site to the UK site. Works just fine here by either going to .com address or changing the location from the top right corner menu.
 
Thanks to the OP!
But thank god i did'nt pay full price for this. Can't believe how bad these games are now. I know that it's no longer rally focused, but it gets further away from the originals with every incarnation. Maybe it'll grow on me!
Thanks again!
 
ok, seemed windows explorer seemed to think that every file it extracted was 135mb?

Re-extracted using 7-zip, installed ok, enterted my activation code and nothing. game doesn't start.

Run Dirt shortcut, Dirt.exe appears in task manager, then for a brief second dirtgame.exe and then they both dissapear. No wonder I ended up with a PS3!

I'm that fed up with it as I have reinstalled it twice now I am going to forget about it, roll on friday for F1 2010 on the PS3!!
