218 replies, posted
Won't let me check out because it won't accept my city, oh well. It was just not ment to be :(
Edit: nevermind, i got it to work :D
Yeah if someone happens to have an extra code, I'm willing to trade you a Shank 2 key for it. Or McPixel. Or some other game I have a key of.
america only. canada sucks
It doesnt accept my paypal account, and I have a pennie there. Anyone can PM me a spare key please.
If anyone is feeling generous, May you grant me a key!? :P
will pay $5.01 for a copy
seriously.
message me.
i knew that one cent in my paypal account would come in handy
You dont want the rust forum to catch wind of this.. they might beg for both keys
Best Buy already cracked down on it. Nothing is going through anymore.
I imagine they'll deactivate all the keys or something.
Well, guess this only works for those people in the US.
*Sigh*
how long did it take everyones keys to arrive?

Canada never gets any goodies like this. UK got huge Razer discounts, US got 0.01 cent copies of Metro Last Night, while poor Canada is basically left to fend for themselves.

I have not gotten mine yet - so probably 30-60 mins seems like a good bet at this point.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;41419733]also wrong
best buy isn't handling the steam keys, nvidia is. there's no way for nvidia to tell if its a legit (matched with a card) key, and there's no way for valve to know if its a nvidia key.[/QUOTE]
But they know what key they sent you and under what conditions, they just have to process all the sales that went "wrong" and cancel those specific keys, it's not that hard.
You buy it for $0.01, you get a key on your e-mail, they can see what e-mail they sent you with what key and how much you paid for it. And they can tell steam to cancel those keys.
If some friendly American would like to grab me two copies (one for me and one for my other canadian friend) of this that'd be swell of you.

uh they cant
those keys have already been authenticated by nvidia's site to give you the steam key
three companies would have to work together to pull those keys. not worth it
They're refunding everyone.
Luckily one code arrived! :D
Does someone not mind getting one for me too? I don't have a credit card to use on my PayPal or anything. I could give the first trading card I get during the summer sale or something.

Oh wow that went fast. Who's the guy who placed a hundred orders?

not easily.
valve doesn't like removing keys because people may not have been aware of the source.
there's 2 steps after getting the email from best buy, and the ambiguity builds on each step if its a legit key or not.
you go to nvidia and enter the promo code. now you get a steam key. for all intents and purposes, you have a 660 according to nvidia. now you go to steam and enter the steam key. it works just like a retail last light key, steam doesn't know where you got it.
three companies have to work together to disable these keys. sooo not worth it
Key plox, I am a simple poor englishman.
Man this sucks, this always ends up happening when I have literally nothing on my card or paypal. If anyone has an extra key and feels generous I would be grateful for one.
I expect my 10 cents back.
Sweet
I got 3 copies, still waiting for the codes
note: not available people, sorry
I'm trying to buy as many as I can before it's gone... Hopefully ill have 500 before it's all over. Doubt it though...
Well looks like I have just enough money.

best butt
Would anyone be so kind as to buy a filthy Brit and his boyfriend a copy each? <3
It took 20 minutes for me to get my code. I ordered 3 but only the first one went through.

AMD, Codemasters, and Valve disabled those Dirt 3 keys from awhile back.
