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…

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.

In reply to Mark. Second time around it worked for me too. 18p it is.

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 🙂

In reply to darth_careful. Did you get a confirmation email?

In reply to Lewie Procter. It eventually worked after repeatedly trying using Internet Explorer and a Debit card. Not that the download link worked.

In reply to Rich. 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.

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….

It is working for me.

In reply to 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.

Click the “Buy ->” button and “The product “80971” cannot be ordered.”
Grr.

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.

By: Luke

Luke — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 14:56:47 +0000

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.

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.

It worked for me but the download link (on both the email and the webpage) seems to be broken

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?

By: Mark

Mark — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:28:25 +0000

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 🙂

In reply to Mccy_McFlinn.

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.
