Multi Latest Steam & General Gaming Bargains: Read first post!

Apparently my ip address is coming from the wrong region =S. I'm in Reading, UK. Stupid Dixons.

 

These companies always get teething troubles. Fire off an email and explain. Have you checked a traceroute to see if you are bounced outside UK? Stranger things have happened ...

 

Ah, that would explain it. I'll have another try later. Thanks.

 

Same here

EDIT - Got it to work. Remoted onto a terminal server at work and signed up that way, then logged in on my PC at home. Currently downloading Medieval 2. ETA....10 hours...

 

Rift 33% OFF on Steam ... £20.09 ...

Tempting! I enjoyed the 7 day trial.

 

Tempted by words reloaded, might just wait for their summer sale though as im sure it will get even cheaper then

 

Bah. Tried to register an account at Dixon's online shop. Even though they explicitly list Denmark in the country dropdown box and don't state any UK exclusivity (at least I couldn't see it) I get a message box about "my IP being in the wrong region". Of course, only *after* I've filled out all the details...

So, no Condemned or The Club for me. Perhaps it's for the better.

Still, a nice find, Throbbi!

 

Awesome, have rep my good man!

 

Just to repeat the heads-up on that one. It's a nice find, but beware that if you're not in the UK it may not be worth the hassle; and they seem to be checking your personal details against the database at 192.com.

 

Well, didn't check their terms and conditions. But it's odd (dare I say moronic) they let you choose a country other than the UK at all. Anyway, no great loss.

 

Just having a look at what they have, Black Ops is £60 and MW2 is £55

Though they do have Golden Axe for 50p

 

Golden Axe! Utter win! Oh I remember that haha. Download time.

 

Mega Drive classic pack £5.50 *dribble*.

Ecco The Dolphin!

Thanks Throbbi - rep added!

 

I cant get it either

 

Am I too late to get anything for free? I signed up to Dixons and clicked My Products and there's nothing, and it lists Alpha Protocol as £26.79

I'm in the UK..

Edit: never mind! You have to sign up and then go to Throbbi's link, but it says it can't verify my age.. despite putting my real DOB in (I'm 19!).

Super double edit: I had to use my parent's address, then they 'checked' my age against the electoral roll. WTF Dixons? Never mind, hooray for free games!

 

Go to 192.com and search for yourself. Then try and input your details as they appear there. If your details don't come up try searching for your parents or anyone else and just use their name instead, you can switch it straight back to yours in your account afterwards.

 

Crysis 2: Limited Edition is £12.99 on play.com until the end of the day.

 

rep!

 

totally amazing find, going to get both packs by me signing up and then getting the Mrs to sign up (hopefully it will allow it even though we are both at the same address) will let you know if it does
