Thanks, I was hesitating on using the American address with my credit card because the purchase might set off some flags with my cc company.

It seems some card companys flag it as an issue and some do not , about all you can do is try it and find out - I seem to remember Natwest(?) being one who 'complained' about it - if they do the way around it is to buy amazon gift cards (using your 'real' address) then use the gift cards to buy the US PSN cards

Free code will be on the eShop receipt but...

Nifty. You get a free theme with the digital version too.

...I think you only get the free theme if your purchase it off the eShop. Mario Golf VC game worked that way (people who used the GAME download code didn't get it).

Amazon.com declined my card with my old US address. Anyone know any PS Store resellers that'll accept UK info that have $10 in stock? I have $6 in my wallet already, just wanted to pick up Xillia 2.

Edit: Never mind, Play-Asia has them back in stock.

Edit 2: The Flash Sale is already over. Well, shit. Waste of $12.99. I thought it said 13-16th?

Not actually that important
Cross posting from the Ultimate Sale thread:

I'm torn between SE3 for €14, Trials at 8€or Fallen at €10.50.

Leaning towards Fallen if you guys sell me on it? Or not, negatives?

Also South Park has a great price on the eu store, �9.99 (it's $18 on the U.S. store iirc).
But it pisses me off it's the EU "console censored" version and... OH WAIT, HOLY SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED:

is Stick of Truth GOD the german version (no swastikas and such) even for EU downloads like it was for some other games???
That to me it would mean to stay the fuck away. Drop the truth fact, cheap arse GAF

No idea, bought the game from the US Steam store specifically to avoid the whole censoring issue.

It looks like Shopto have deleted my account with them shortly after they credited my account for a lost package having spoken to them on the phone (very amicably) on Friday. Before I post a new topic here I will phone them on Monday (they aren't open on weekends) to find out what has happened but right now I am pretty upset given the money on the account (£10.50) and that I relied on them for my Amiibo pre-orders and I can't pre-order them elsewhere.

I can't login with my details and entering my email address into a forgotten password form gives me a no account with that email error so they have definitely deleted it.

At least the UK version has the swastikas. It's still censored, but Nazi stuff is included. It seems the version in France also has the Nazi stuff.

Christ, you would have thought Shop To would have stopped deleting accounts after the last time, but nope, they're still terrible.

Just contact your local Nintendo about it. If you're Swiss, they will give you a code.
If you're Belgian, they will tell you they can't give you a code because you didn't buy the game in Belgium.

Just went through this with Spirit Camera. With that they wouldn't budge because I bought it (new/sealed) through amazon marketplace from a private seller so there was no VAT, etc or even a proper invoice. Sucks.

But at least I have that now. Will try again.

well, I just took one for the team, will report back ASAP. It says FIGS (so it includes german, uhmmm...) on the game's description page... we'll see.

€9.99 for The Stick of Truth is really sweet deal after all!

At least in theory it should be the same as the retail version.

Microsoft used ip-geo-location at some point, no idea if they still use it. I think they blocked purchases back then, no idea exactly.

Why did I pay so much more for my copy? :-(

Anyway, Play-Asia also have Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (NDS) for US$15.99 (£10.5/€14). It's US copy but DS was region free, so you can play it on your Euro DS/3DS/3DSXL/2DS/New 3DS/New 3DSXL.

Get this excellent game if you haven't played it already.

Fyi just checked on Amazon UK and it's £11.39 with free delivery at the minute, while Play Asia adds at least £3.84 for delivery.

My thanks for giving me the nudge to buy a copy!

Point is that the game has a double censorship:

EU = no anal probes/abortion/etc

DEU: all of that plus no svastika symbols etc

So I'm surprised to see the version up on GOD has FIGS instead of just FIS

ASDA had total war shogun: fall of the samurai for 5 pound in hounslow, cheaper than it's ever been on steam.

Also had the xcom bureau fps game for a similar price for ps3.

I haven't spent enough time on shogun 2 and got the latter in a humble bundle or else I would have been tempted.
