I doubt they can retract it from Steam once entered. Really strange though - however, I wouldn't complain

lol I'm not

Just hope I don't get issues from any of em (like them telling me I used a key I had no right to later)

Yep, I just got the same thing. At worst they'll just re-charge you when they figure out what's what. Hopefully

I got the tip from here : http://savygamer.co.uk/

so they're probably going to have an awful lot of purchases to deal with. Posts on that site suggest everyone's gotten the same thing.

Anyone else having issues with getting this, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_code for a few random zip codes. Seems to be the biggest stumbling block at the moment. I went with Houston - even falsified a Houston number with the area code, too

Hoping I get a refund too

Evilsod · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:11

*checks mine* yup same here. Refund at 8:46 this morning.

Alright for some...I don't appear to have had a refund.

I have had other problems though, I bought a couple of other games. I've downloaded and installed one, but I need to put an 'Activation code' in to play it...thing is, I can't find said activation code anywhere. Apparently it's not the serial code provided by THQ...confused!...

Deadbeat · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:25

Yeah, refund here too. Anyone tried the Steam game since being refunded? I'm working until late this evening, so can't test it out.

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:28

Refunded here too

I don't see why, my details were real

(i just don't live there anymore)

they gave u a serial after purchasing

go to Digital River-> Customer Service and enter your order number and password (password you used when buying the item) and it will show a page with the activation number

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:32

Tempted to buy the rest of the games on there, lol.

I'm on that page at the mo, but the only numbers there are my order number and the games serial code. The serial code won't work though, it says that it's invalid...

No luck there either, the game I bought isn't register-able on Steam. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact I'm in the UK?...

Evilsod · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:14

I'm pretty sure most if not all of us are

Well i've just gone on and done the first level of Chaos Rising (i added it to steam last night) and i ahd absolutely no problems. I can't see it being given for free so somethings going on...

I bought MW2 from a site that sells CDkeys aaggggesss ago and Steam deleted it a week later (game was for a different region).

McPhee · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:44

Got my refund through too. Very odd. Expecting to lose the game TBH.

Sleepery · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:47

Well if they take two weeks to delete it I don't really mind, I should at least get through the campaign by then

Perhaps a pricing error? They have no way to prove I an not from the US - I used my old address and US registered paypal, so that can't be it.

Evilsod · 6 Feb 2011 at 14:04

How can they stop it though. Its not like MW2 which is independant. My installation DL was next to nothing, probably just unlocking it and afaik you can launch it through DoWII.
