Crap and useless, the customer support is alright.. but thier payment system sucks

As good as Game’s I’d bet, though I don’t know how good theirs is either.
Though to be honest, for 9p almost any service is a brilliant price except if you never, ever manage to download it.

Doesn’t seem to be working though. Get to the checkout, enter payment details or select to pay by Paypal and it just takes you to a page saying you haven’t entered payment details 🙂

they wont take my money i get to the payment page type in all my details and am either stuck at the payment page with no way to continue or it doesn’t accept my payment. This also occurs with the paypal option. Can anyone help?

It worked for me but the download link (on both the email and the webpage) seems to be broken
The broken payment processing seems to be down to their Guest Checkout being shite – you need to back up into the detail sections and add both delivery & billing addresses.
Still not got a working dl link though.

I think this was an error as the link now links to the boxed version at £5.99 even if you click on it from the downloads page.

I am having no luck at all. Everytime I click to purchase the downloadable version a pop-up says that the product is not available.
Rich
Click the “Buy ->” button and “The product “80971” cannot be ordered.”
Grr.
Rich
Firefox and Chrome gave me the same message. Safari let me get it in my basket, but I got “Your payment was not successful.” at checkout.
Q
I fixed the “Your payment was not successful.” problem by changing the delivery address to the same address that’s on my card. Using Opera.
Lewie Procter
It is working for me.
Rich
It eventually worked after repeatedly trying using Internet Explorer and a Debit card. Not that the download link worked.

Ordering was no problem at all for me. The download link is still dead, though. I’ve emailed and I’m waiting for a response….
Rich
Did you get a confirmation email?
darth_careful
No confirmation email as of Monday lunchtime 🙁
Mark
How totally bizarre. I went back to have another go, but when I clicked on the link to buy it I got the ‘Product 80971 cannot be ordered message’.
Thought I’d check my basket just in case and there were a couple in there (from repeated tries earlier) so I went through the checkout process a final time and blow me if it didn’t work! Gave me a link to a downloader program that did work, and now I am downloading the 1.21gb of game using it.
It seems to have only given me one serial key even though I bought two copies, but I’m not sure I’m going to complain for 18p !
Persistence pays off 🙂
Rich
Second time around it worked for me too. 18p it is.
Preciousgollum
I managed to get it to work now but unfortunately the Download edition seems to enter my basket at £25 rather than then nine english pennies that it still states as the price on the website.
Oh well… 🙁

If you have problems with download link Installation Key can be registered on EA Download Manager. Works perfectly.

yeah I got the 24.99 thing too. Been trying all day as well. Sucks
Aradiel
Website now says £24.99…
h_g
It seems they decided to retroactively charge me the £24.99 for this. I made sure that I was being charged £0.09 throughout the checkout process as well. I got a order confirmation email that was just a stack trace with a bunch of error codes so can’t even use that as proof of what I had paid for. It’ll be interesting to see what Gamestation have to say to me whenever they respond to my query about charging me more after I’d agreed to the £0.09 price, I certainly didn’t want it at £24.99…

Ha! And I thought the price I got it for in the Steam Xmas sale was good.
How is the gamestation download service?

When good prices go bad.
Thanks for the info!!!!
Not letting me complete payment either.
