Pretty sure it won't work.

edit: Seems like it could work, or not:

God that's stupid. I wonder if I took my computer back home to Canada and redeemed the key, whether I could resume the download back here in Japan? I don't know anyone in Canada without a ridiculously small data cap.

It was annoying last week when I was in Canada to search for Binary Domain and Resident Evil 5 on Steam and see them both there. Being blocked from something or redirected based on geographical IP has always been one of the absolutely most annoying things to me on the Internet.

I've seen people use proxies to redeem game codes without problem but I know that buying with a proxy has led to the games being removed.

Usually keys aren't region restricted but there are some rare cases (Mafia 2 on Amazon afaik and Indian copies of L4D or some shit). It's best to ask again when Tony/Amazon Video Gamer is around.

Oh, right, I'd forgotten about that. It works, though:

Got the two separate Paradox packs to get Sword of the Stars games. Great deals, looking forward to CK2 and Warlock especially.

Edit: And holy cow at the copy/paste I just did hahaha.

Can someone (esp. Tony) help me out here?

I just ordered MW2 for Steam and it says invalid key...

That's what I did. How long does this usually take?

Nelo Ice said:
Depends but I guess later today or at the latest sometime tomorrow. Either way you will get a working key or compensation or both lol. Amazon CS is top notch.

You should try the key again. Sometimes, when we sell a ton of Steam keys, it seems as if their authentication servers have issues because I always get this question. It is usually immediately followed up by "I tried a couple more times and it finally worked".

If you can't get it to work at all CS will give you a new key. I don't think this is the case though. Let me know what your resolution ends up being.

Hey tony, when will we see that sweet sweet Arma:Co deal comming up?

As soon as I get functioning keys for Operation Arrowhead :(.

Full update with more EA titles and confirmation of Sega sale in a bit.

Cheers,

Binary Domain isn't available on Steam in this country (Japan). It doesn't show up in a search on the website or through the Steam app. If I bought the Amazon version and put the key into Steam, would it work?
Click to expand...
Yep.


I too hope condemned goes on sale.

I played the first 7 "milestones" (out of 20) in Syndicate after picking it up for 15$ and I honestly don't even know if I would qualify what I have played so far as being 15$ material.

The game feels completely devoid of character/soul.

my worst purchase of 2012 so far

The solution was pretty weird. Key wouldn't work until I logged into Steam on the official homepage and activated this computer for Steam guard (even though I was already logged into the client). Then suddenly it worked.

Also: Any news on Ubisoft participating this sale?

I am very close to pulling the trigger on the Paradox pack. I know all of them will work with Steam - but are the Steam keys Steamplay? I'm taking my MBA with me to school (which has a pretty small SSD, so I'd rather not have to partition the drive to set up boot camp if I can run the games - which aren't graphics card intensive anyways - in OSX) so I'd like to take them with me if possible.

So... if someone's bought it - which (if any) would be mac compatible?

Not really... he did say that he saw an increase in Amazon DD sales yesterday around this time when the Steam Sales didn't start. So I imagine the same has happened/is happening right now.

I know I'm tempted as well. I'm kinda holding out for some potentials like dead rising 2, lost planet 2, cryostasis, etc.

Alice for 5 USD might be interesting, but does the game requires Origin? because I am not using Origin until they add at least some kind of support to my Country

You have to use an EA account to verify otherwise it doesn't require Origin to run.

Well, talk about getting ninja'd.

WANT:

Saboteur not in a bundle, I don't want the rest of the games whatsoever (also I already have The ultimate box, Mirrors edge, Merc 2, and bulletstorm was a bad game with a funny script)

Plants vs zombies, Command and conquer 4, alice madness returns, binary domain, (I would also say bf3+premium but I just fucking bought that like a week ago ;_; ), fall of the samurai, renegade ops not in a pack except by itself, red armageddon not in pack (already own darksiders, and metro 2033)

That total war pack is a good deal...but I already own everything in it except the shogun 2 expac.

I get why but it really sucks that you guys don't support paypal. I'm having some technical issues and won't be able to use my credit card for the next couple of weeks. Paypal taking the money directly out of my bank account is the best thing ever (or the worst...depending how you see it lol).

One thing to keep in mind about Mercenaries 2:

I enjoyed the game, but EA shut down the MP servers. Factor that into your purchase.

Working on it, along with the rest of the responses, stay tuned. I'll be dark for the next hour or so while i set stuff up and respond.

Remember to help a brother out and spread the word :)...or don't and just continue to enjoy the sales!
