What methods do you use for buying games from stores which only accept dollars? (i.e. Gamefly)

Pretty active. Still good fun, but its not THAT addicting. I got it for around the same price and I was pleased.

"You may not purchase this item at your location."

It's a US deal ONLY.

GameStop/Impulse have just ensured they won't get another penny from me.

I've tried using their website and get the same error.

I've sent an email to them, if they don't sort it out I'm uninstalling impulse and not using it again. I'm not going to have them advertising to me (via their client) games and deals that I can't even get. That's stupid.

I'm wondering if Batman: AC from Gamefly has a key that Origin would accept?

I grabbed King Arthur II for roughly $17 but after two failed downloads/installs of 15gig I sent them a email and got immediate refund (I used Paypal btw so no tax). I still have an unsused serial for the game though sitting in my email acknowledgement

Happens if you use PayPal, you need to use a credit card.

You bought it from Impulse?

I tried Debit Card and Paypal, both failed.

Why would CC be needed and Debit rejected, with the "invalid location" error?

I moved to Nevada just before I bought, downloaded then moved back to UK luckily taxes are not retrospective so was no problem

If the CC gives jip about your american address try a different one, helps I think if they have branches there maybe

Grabbed myself Arma 2 : combined operations ( both arma 2 and arma 2 operation arrowhead ) for $9,99 from the US amazon download site , not sure what that is in pounds exactly but can't complain , hopefully people still play it as i have fancied getting it for a long time!

Its played by plenty but you may need to mod it a lot.
Very big game, the missions are so epic it would take many months to walk across or actually view them all up close. Short dropoff

CC is a global transaction, debit relys on more localised agreements and USA is a tad far though some cards might work its no surprise when it doesnt


Is crysis 2 any good. Beta felt like Quake 2 and Im already done with that kind of thing

 

[~>Dg<~]

crysis 2 is good if you tweak mod it its better looks than bf3 one of best looking games out

for three quid its a steal

Yup - Once I had installed that app provided by them I went and got the product code. Started Origin and pasted in the cd key.
