I think I better create an account with gamersgate once the site goes back to normal because of all these crazy deals.
If anyone has a spare copy of borderlands 2 to sell please pm me. I can paypal in advance

Looking for a cheap key as well. PM me. Doesn't look like Gamersgate is coming up anytime soon.
Yeah I see it at 94% off too. I considered trying to get one but a) I already own Borderlands 2 and picked up the DLC in the earlier pricing error this morning and b) I can see from what everyone's saying that the site is completely slammed and paying for your order is a nightmare, so I guess I'll wait and see if there are pricing errors on anything else.
What other stuff is on there that's Steam redeemable that I don't already own?

Love this site, but I get too many problems with them. I can't do it anymore. I had to call my bank 3 times. If I had Paypal it would be easier, but I refuse to use them.
What problems did you have?

I'm looking to buy cheap Borderlands 2 as a result of GamersGate's pricing error more than anyone else in this thread. I even had "I am looking to buy cheap Borderlands 2 as a result of GamersGate's pricing error" tattooed on my leg but I can't prove it because my camera is missing.

We're rooting for you, Dingo, and anyone else in the same boat. Would be many happy folks here, by the look of things - the queue for keys is now as long as the saddened face of the poor sod that hit submit on these pricing errors.
It's sao slowwwwww...
is this a safe method?

Oh no, finally the site loads (trying to get Ghost Recon) but everything is garbled and the buy button hidden behind the Twitter-thing. I think. I give up, got the Bethesda deal after a few hours trying, that's enough.

I'll have 2 if not 3 copies to trade tomorrow (my Paypal can't receive money). I've already managed to gift one away to my friend, but with the site so hammered, he couldn't redeem it.

I'm going to bed now, if anyone is interested in BL2, once I retrieve the keys, I'll be selling 2 or maybe 3 keys (one for me and maybe one for my brother) just PM (I accept paypal)

I finally managed to see my account page @ Gamersgate. There are two items: One Borderlands 2 key and three giftable Borderlands 2 keys that appear as just one thing.
When I clicked the giftable ones, there was an error. Does anyone know how does this work? Do they give you a Steam key that adds 3 Borderlands 2 to your inventory?
P.S. Sorry guys, but I'm not going to sell the keys. I'll donate one to the wishlist thread if they can be easily gifted, though!

Lol wtf are they doing? Is the Borderlands 2 4-pack deal expired or is there again?

It's a bit funny that 4 out 9 boxes in their "top deals" section on the frontpage are marked with "save 0%"
Can everyone else please stay off their site so that I can get a chance to view my account?

Yeah. Anyone know how the gg gifting works?

I'm interested in buying a BL2 key from someone, unless I can make it into the site and buy my own pack.

I hope they don't go belly up due to these errors before I get the rest of my Bethesda deals.
You can gift to an e-mail address or another GG user. I think you can also gift to your own gg account by e-mailing to yourself, redeem the gift and then the key will appear in your library.
If anyone can pick this up for $3, I'd gladly Paypal you the money when I get home from work. Unfortunately I can't access the site and I'll be gone for 9 hours so I don't know if it's going to still be there.
They've been around for years, so I don't think they'll be disappearing any time soon. Although I am curious, does anyone know what their exact relationship with Paradox is? I know Paradox published company employees get paradox games on gamersgate for free (at least they did last year), and I think there was some overlap with the company founders. Anyone want to enlighten me?
What's the trick!? I can get through Paypal, but not back to Gamersgate to give them the $$.

I'm hoping that works. Somehow ended up with two 4-packs so I need to get the keys before they run out.
I added AssCre 1, but cannot activate the key.
Wiki:
"GamersGate was formerly operated by Paradox Interactive. It was started with the intention of providing cheap distribution of their games to countries that did not offer them in physical retail stores. GamersGate commenced trial operations in April 2006 and officially launched (entitled "Gamer's Gate") on November 20, 2006. In 2008, after other publishers requested that GamersGate distribute their games as well, Paradox decided to separate GamersGate into its own company.[3]"

Still interested in buying from someone here if the site will work again
Try over and over and over, took me like 20 tries and 45min to actually pay.
If you have troubles getting to paypal at all, just use http://www.gamersgate.com/shop/payment/<orderid> and it should always forward you to paypal if you're logged in.
