Shows up for 6,59 €

 

[DECOY-LDN]

What was it up for?

£4.94.

 

[jediyoshi]

£4.94.

Ah, I see it in a uk proxy now. Proper price is still up in the US

 

[Seance]

$10.86(NZ) so like $7? lol

 

[Sanjay]

Installing and also have the cd key, so they can't take this away right? you have to use it on the uplay right.

 

[Addnan]

Holy shit, this can't be real. Bought it downloading. Still expect something to go wrong.

I was about to buy it for £29.99 yesteday..

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Nice, it seems you enjoyed them, so if I'm liking the game they inspired, I think I will too.

The problem is that Amazon's international shipment will probably charge me more than 10 bucks for the 3 books. Although that's the only way to get the third one, it isn't available on Kindle from what I saw.

Try bookdepository.UK....don't have the link on me so you can Google the above, but they ship everywhere with no shipping fee and they're cheap.

I live in Canada and order from them all the time.

 

[SparkTR]

Is this legit and does it redeem on Steam?

 

[Risgroo]

Bought! Wasn't planning on playing it anytime soon, but I couldn't say no at that price. Hopefully they let me keep it.

 

[jediyoshi]

Welp, bought it. Thanks for the heads up

 

[Deques]

Is this legit and does it redeem on Steam?

If you mean GameStop/Impulse and the Far Cry games, then it is: Yes, it's legit. And no, it's not Steam redeemable

 

[Lain]

Surely a pricing error:

Woah, bought. Now to download and install it.

 

[Seance]

Is this legit and does it redeem on Steam?

Not Steamworks, but as i'm installing it as we speak it would be pretty shitty for them to pull the plug now. Also receipt copy is emailed so they are obliged to stand by the price you pay for it, right?

Third English translated book has a release date of August 2012, I thought.

 

[Firebrand]

The page lists Tages as DRM, does that apply to FC3 as well?

 

[oipic]

Third English translated book has a release date of August 2012, I thought.

August, but in 2013, I think - although that might be some sort of estimated, place-holder date perhaps.

I found the two translated books to be an enjoyable, breezy, page-turny read.

 

[Caerith]

December 2012 here (US), though I haven't seen it on shelves yet.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Even though it is that cheap, I really wont buy it.
Nowadays I really want the Games to be Steamworks, so I can access them everywhere with just one little application.

I guess I am crazy, right?

 

[Glass Rebel]

The gamestop app is such a piece of shit, can't download athing.

 

[Rufus]

I guess I am crazy, right?

Yes.

How much sex is in there?

I was going to buy it, but did not since it is not on Steam.
So no, you're not crazy.. (Or maybe we're both crazy).

 

[codswallop]

If you get those Far Cry serials in an email you might be able to install using another source (like a friend's disc) and input the serial into the UPlay thing, bypassing their GameStop downloader... I guess?

Is it available to people outside the US?

 

[Seance]

Yes. You can add it to the Steam app?

Whoops, that was a bad typo. Thought I double checked too! Weird it isn't out yet then. Orbit's publishing guide has it listed for that December date.

 

[Schlomo]

That GameStop far cry deal doesn't go through for me. The cart is empty suddenly in the last step. :-(

I'm from Germany and i'm downloading it right now.

 

[Lyonaz]

Lol bought the pack, too cheap not to. Already had FC3 though.

 

[Silex]

Damn, I hate getting games not on Steam... But can't say no to this.

Guess I'll be able to buy the game later on Steam, and sell the serial it'll provide, since I'll need to log in using uPlay which will already have the game anyway...

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Ah. Whatever. Just bought it. Can I activate it at least through UPlay?

 

[JaseC]

Not Steamworks, but as i'm installing it as we speak it would be pretty shitty for them to pull the plug now. Also receipt copy is emailed so they are obliged to stand by the price you pay for it, right?

Companies usually have clauses absolving them of responsibility when errors like this occur, but I'd imagine you could argue that a completed transaction constitutes a contract for sale, which is what happened here when Dell AU mistakenly priced 250GB HDDs at $8.80.

 

[Rufus]

Ah. Whatever. Just bought it. Can I activate it at least through UPlay?

I would assume so, since you have to use it anyway, right? I'm about to try. edit: The Uplay app doesn't even have an option for that...?

 

[dark_inferno]

Im online via smartphone. Where can i get the cdkeys when i bought it?

 

[MrTeachwell]

Ah. Whatever. Just bought it. Can I activate it at least through UPlay?

Uplay activation generally requires you to download, install and enter the cdkey for the first time upon which it will register it to your uplay account. At least that's what I did with ANNO 2030 from greenmangaming a week or so ago. There's no option in the client to activate a game but once you install it on your pc if it's a Uplay game (limited to mostly newer games not including Rayman Origins as I found out) then you can access and download it whenever you want like steam.

 

[Rufus]

Im online via smartphone. Where can i get the cdkeys when i bought it?

Through Gamestop's launcher.

 

[Silex]

I've bought the game as a gift to my own email address, which doesn't have an associated account.
I've received an email saying to just log in using that email - as though I'm registered already.

What should I do? Should I register a new account to that email? I'm a bit afraid of the warning "Previously purchased products are not accessible if you create a new account" when creating an account, although it might be related to simply using different accounts.

Steam's gifting process is so much better..

I'm pretty sure I activated Far Cry 3 through UPlay when I got the code with my GPU?

 

[dark_inferno]

Through Gamestop's launcher.

Shit... now im fucked. I hope they dont delete far cry 3 out. Im in school for the next 9 hours.

I prefer buying games that offer steam keys, since I like using the steam client to download the games, but I just couldn't pass up such a deal (6.59€) for a game so recent that i was gonna wait various months to go on some sale.

 

[Sanjay]

I was really surprised to see that they support features like gifting and have steam guard like feature on Impulse.

 

[Rufus]

Feature-wise, Impulse was pretty competitive with Steam, even back when Wardell still owned it. Steam has since pulled away, of course.

I've bought the game as a gift to my own email address, which doesn't have an associated account.
I've received an email saying to just log in using that email - as though I'm registered already.

What should I do?

If that's their process, that's the process.

 

[Silex]

If that's their process, that's the process.

Well, I can't login without a password...

 

[Seance]

Shit... now im fucked. I hope they dont delete far cry 3 out. Im in school for the next 9 hours.

Pretty sure it's already been fixed.

 

[Rufus]

Well, I can't login without a password...

What I mean is: create an account using that email. That's how I understand this to work.

I mean, gifting to someone without a Steam account would work much in the same way, wouldn't it?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

So. You first have to download and install the Game, then connect it to UPlay?

Edit: Works. Confirmed. I activated it through UPlay

 

[Tomodachi]

Pretty sure it's already been fixed.

I still see it at 6,59€.

I won't bite though, wouldn't play FC3 in at least a year, and I don't feel comfortable exploiting pricing errors anyway. Also, no steam key = no game.

 

[dark_inferno]

Pretty sure it's already been fixed.

I already bought it. When they keep in my money and delete far cry 3 out of my account i would go real mad. They made the mistake.

 

[Bricky]

Please beware; the code you buy for the extra content in the Deluxe-edition isn't usable with the normal edition it seems. Well, maybe it is, but it's the same as the key you use to install the whole game, so you'll waste a key on some extra DLC that could also unlock the entire game for a friend or something.

Quite a shame really, I would've enjoyed those monkey madness missions. Ah well, guess I'll just sell my key or give it to a friend now.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

 

[Autofokus]

I was going to buy it, but did not since it is not on Steam.
So no, you're not crazy.. (Or maybe we're both crazy).

I would bother me too, if the steam version wouldn't still require uPlay - I don't want & need 2 layers of game clients.
