Somebody was kind enough to give me a gift certificate but it was purchased in sterling, which has so far made it impossible to use on Amazon.
Just wondering if I have missed a trick somewhere. Well I guess if you are really desperate for a US address. Thank you for your interest in Borderlinx. In order to start using this service you, please pay Rick, I tested this yesterday and was able to purchase a game, Dragon Age 2, with my German credit card. On the CC front, I followed up with my CC company here and they confirmed they received the transaction request from Amazon. Darn Cdn banks anyhow. Thank you so very much for hinting at Borderlinx.
Managed to fulfill this little purchase. Hi folks i was just wandering if anyone from the uk has bought any of these games and installed them onto their computers without a problem or did they need to go through hell first? Like registering for a usa steam account or something? Thanks for the article. This does not seem to work for purchasing songs from Amazon US, though.
I prefer purchasing legitimate mp3s rather than downloading them illegally, in part so I can support the smaller bands I like. Now, irony of ironies, it forbids these legal purchases when I try to do so when I am in Europe, despite using a US credit card and address. Any suggestions for getting around this? Their fine print stipulates a card issued by a U.
Anyone know of a way around this? I expect even physically going to a U. Americans get all the great deals…. Am I doing something wrong? I have added a US address to my existing account and I still get a message that the service is only available to US customers. Thanks for the info mate, there is a great deal in Amazon. I wonder if this a sign that Amazon digital game and software downloads are finally coming to Europe soon.
Worked great :. I attempted this method without success because my payment method was via a CC linked to an address outside of the US. Easiest way to buy from amazon is to simply open a bank account and then call them stating you are going on an extended holiday. I also have a non-US credit card attached to a non-US address, but this is now working. Trying to stop me legitimately using my own money to buy a legal product that is openly for sale in the world, the rogues.
When I am president I will outlaw such banditry, assuming that my new Borderlinx mailing address entitles me to run for office. I Have changed all my pirated games out to legit ones now, thanks to people like You, whish more would help us to change the world we are in as its now.
So if the game developers want to stop piracy that I have been a part of since the x then let us get to buy the games at a fair price!
I think that if you reside in another country and buy from amazon. Worked for me, from Austria. Please help. Just wondering about the legal side of this. It may depend on the country you are living in. The one thing that is questionable is the fake address. But if you use a sevice like Borderlinx, it is not fake at all. Minutes before reading this article I tried to download Bastion from amazon and got a error message saying it was only available to U.
S Customers, I changed my amazon billing address to the borderlinx one and it worked straight away, im downloading as I write this. The Terms say: You may not use your Borderlinx address for any purpose other than receiving packages containing products you have ordered from merchants. Originally posted by DiamondZnip3r :.
You are welcome. Just remember to only do this on computers that belong to you. Goes without saying I know but some people try to get games for their friends and share accounts and that is a NO-NO Happy gaming!!!
Yeah, thanks. I'm posting another question just now, please reply to that aswell :P. Hello Diamond Znip3r. Purchasing games from Steam will give you a digital copy of the game, which you can download using your Steam account in any computers. If you purchase a retail copy from your local store, commonly known as physical copy of the game, you don't need to download the game anymore, you just need to install it which saves you time and you can install the game in any computers as well.
What it limits is it only allows 1 Steam account to play that game, which is basically the same in purchasing games from Steam. You can only play the game under 1 Steam account. BUT - Once downloaded via Steam, yes, the game launches and starts to download again.
Yes, you still need the extra 36GB or so free space, but it saved downloading the whole thing again. Oh, and I agree - shocking that Steam and Zenimax can't be arsed to sort it out!!!

Thanks, but that sounds a little complicated - I think I will try the official method. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Thanks, that is the kind of advice I was looking for. I just have to figure out how to do step 3 - launch the game in offline mode.
When I launch the game Steam automatically runs. So as to your comment "you must be logged into the Steam account associated with the game's key in order to play it" - I have to be logged in but can still play offline? It's confusing because I assumed if I am logged in that I am online. I'll try it out - all this may be a moot point since I am not sure my husband's computer will even run the games anyway! Thanks for the help. Cindy, yes, the procedure above logs you into Steam in offline mode.
Your account information is stored on your computer temporarily in this case, rather than Steam's servers. Great, I've never been interested in multiplayer games anyway. Show 1 more comment.
