*** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

I want to buy all the Dishonored DLC but it's currently twice the price of the GOTY edition. Anyone know if the GOTY comes as one code or as multiple (for DLC)? Or if I can activate both standalone and GOTY versions on same account?
 
BF4 - gave up :(

Installed Chrome.
Installed the proxy addon.
Tried paying by Mastercard - failed
Tried paying by PayPal - failed
Used a US address - still failed

Give up :(

Me too fella. I tried everything. It may be to do with what bank you're with, is the only thing I can think of for it working for some and not others. I'm with barclays for info, you?

My Mastercard is a Barclaycard but I switched to PayPal and it fails before it even sends me off to PayPal :(

Each failure was with error 10048 - google for it and there are huge threads with people hitting the same error over the last month or more!

Use Mcleish guide:
I used the "hola" plugin for Chrome (Web browser) - https://hola.org/
Once youve installed that, you'll see it at the top right (probably says off). Click it, turn it on, and select the USA flag.
From there, type origin.com into your browser. It should list all the prices in dollars. If not, try another USA flag.
Sign into origin there. Select BF4 for $29.99 and go to checkout. apply the game code (from the link I provided in my other post).
At this point you can turn off the proxy (top right, turn off).
Enter a US address, and pay by card.
Youll see it in your Origin app now.

hi-lighted my mistake as haven't turned off proxy once was on checkout

I had same problem - finally worked by using paypal.

* Disconnect proxy when at payment selection stage
* Use correct UK address when filling out paypal details

It's one code. I bought the GOTY for 8 quid from game.co.uk and it just upgraded my existing Steam Dishonored to GOTY with all the DLC.

What I did...
Created a new amazon.com account with different e-mail address.
Copied my american address from my .co.uk (as I couldn't get it working)
Used the same debit card as .co.uk
Made it my one click. Done and dusted.
Tested by ordering Flat Out $1.50 worked

OK I have two Amazon accounts But it works.....
 
Cheapest place to get the Mass Effect Trilogy? Was going to buy them on Origin since they're on offer atm but I'd much prefer to have the first two on Steam.
 
Trine 2 (£1.39) and Spelunky (£2.99) are both currently in the steam flash sale - both great games. 3 hours remaining...

I'm thinking of getting State of Decay, not heard much about the PC version - anyone got it?

I purchased the first one on steam and the 2nd and 3rd for Origin. For me that was the cheapest way. At the moment it seems that:
ME1 cheapest on Origin at £3.99, but may come down in price again on steam (currently 50% off) as a flash sale
ME2 cheapest on Origin at £2.49
ME3 cheapest on Origin at £3.99

Might be best to wait if you can as you might be able to get some deals through Gamefly, steam or Gamersgate (they currently have ME3 at 30% off).
