Is anyone getting this error when purchasing with Paypal? Any way to get this fixed?

We aren't able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please go back to merchant and try using a different payment method.

I was able to buy Divekick yesterday, but now I'm not able to purchase anything at all. No rush at the moment since I just want to buy Rogue Legacy (a daily) so I have until tomorrow to get this fixed. :(

Only played 20 mins of SP so don't think I'm qualified to give a full opinion but within seconds your dual wielding pistols just like the original. Controls felt tight and still carry a great sense of speed. Though MP is where it's at with this game so can't really say until at least play a match or 2. I think Stallion said he played it.

Didn't you move to the US months ago? I thought you would have asked Valve to change the region of your account.

The stuff falls into one or more of the following categories:

- Cheap enough (e.g. Risk)
- 60+% off (e.g. New Star Soccer 5)
- Not going to get any cheaper (e.g. Fast & Furious)
- Not discounted at all and never will be (e.g. the Sandlot crap)

Come Monday I might buy a few more things to get me to 2,100, but otherwise I'm done. Partly because I'm saving my pennies for the Winter Sale and partly because those 235 Steam keys I dolled out the other day took $150 out of my sale budget.

I still haven't tried a majority of the stuff I bought during the summer sale. I have at least 3 games I'll be buying before the week is over.

Who gives a fuck about a backlog?

Damn, I bet Space Engineers will hit 10 bucks. Still don't even have the cash for that. Being unemployed during steam sales are just... the worst.

Pretty happy with myself - just Rogue Legacy for me today. Will hold out for next month with Outlast and other -66% off games to see if they get -75% then. But then I added a bunch of -75% games to my wishlist to pick up on Tuesday..

Make sure you wait for daily deals until the last day, each game you listed will almost for sure be one sometime~
Click to expand...

Hmm, yeah, about that.
I know very well that one shouldn't buy something during a steam sale before said something appears in a daily or it's the last day of the sale, but...
There are exceptions right ? I mean a Flash deal are always equal to dailies ?
And 75% off games are a low risk even if not in a daily or flash ?
Just to be clear, never hurt to ask.

yeah I don't really care about the single player. I just want some modern arena death match action.

I should follow the golden rule here but the base price is pretty damn good.

Well I got it for free with my new gfx card as part of a product wide EVGA promo so there might be some real cheap keys kicking around.

? But, shouldn't I be getting at least Sleeping Dogs and Skyrim right now? Considering the major cut in price of 80% on Sleeping Dogs? Skyrim legendary edition is at 66% off too, making it 20,39$ instead of the usual 59,99$!!

Edit: Wait, I just got how it all works, lol thanks mate, I'll be sure to get my games whenever they are on the daily deal! Which Sleeping Dogs and Skyrim are on right now!

In March, but they've been allowing me to just continue using my Australian credit card. I'm still working for my company back home, so all of the money I'm earning goes in there. My US card is part of a joint account held by my wife and I, and I don't really want to draw from that for games right now unless it's unavoidable.

I'm pretty sure that the region is just based on payment methods isn't it?

I'm also taking any recommendation GAFfers have for me! I havn't played on PC for well, forever. I had a Xbox360/PS3 all last generation and now have a PS4.

Golden Rule: only buy games that go on a daily deal - hold out until the last day of the sale for all games you
wanted but did not get a daily deal.

Daily Deal? I have quite a lot of games on my wishlist already that are 50/60 or even 80% off (Sleeping Dogs), Am I understanding right in that I should actually wait before buying it?

stuff you see on the front page are discounted even further than what they are during the rest of the sale (which goes from today to the 2nd december). each day a new set of games is discounted for 48hrs, the store page is updated for that occasion

if you scroll down the page you'll also see flash deals which discounts more games every 8 hours
some games may be discounted several times as daily or flash
daily/flash discounts are as low as a game is gonna get and if a game is discounted as a flash and a daily during the sale, the discount will be the same for both so once you see a game you want in either a flash or a daily you can go ahead

I believe your Wallet region is based on the store you originally purchased from. I was experimenting with this theory the other day and couldn't buy Call of Doggy from Steam US despite my Wallet funds being in USD and enough in number to cover the cost (not that I actually wanted the game; it was just for testing purposes).

Okay I'm gonna take people's word on Divine Divinity. It's probably not going below $2. I'm gonna be going on an odyssey of isometric RPGs (never played any before) pretty soon anyway.

I really wish they would. Be quite nice to finally put up my Xbox 360 for storage/collection purposes (in case someday I want to play them again and digital distribution no longer allows such a thing) and have some extra space for other devices and/or cute kitten.

Oh okay, I just meant in general. It's been showing me 'merican Steam since I moved here; that's just like Strayan Steam but bigger and with more guns. Well either way, I bought a different game using my US card and then tried again. Now I'm the proud owner of history's greatest murder simulator.
