[GMG PC] XCOM: Enemy Unknown $16 & 30% off all DLC's

Quote from weejona : Just got the registration verification e-mail. Bought X-COM with the coupon code for $16. Everything went through just fine. I paid with PayPal and both my GMG and PayPal e-mail address were identical. Regarding what qhplar said, it does say somewhere on the billing information page that your PayPal and GMG e-mails need to be the same. I can't confirm or deny what he says, but it should work if they're the same.

Yup, the email address registered at GMG and Paypal have to be the same or it doesn't work. I have 2 GMG accounts since it's the only way to buy 2 copies of the same game and I have to use a credit card for one & Paypal for the other. I've never had any issues with GMG and their sale prices are great (been buying from them for about 3 years now).

got confo email like 2 hours later and order went through despite being stuck on processing screen.

used a penfed platinum visa

Been waiting for an XCOM sale. Great post!

Ok, so for everyone who has had issues, like I have. Short story - try doing the order from your phone. I was able to place my order just now. I used paypal.

Longer story: I had contact support and was told - "Hi, Thank you for your enquiry, I am sorry to hear about your payment issues. I have investigated this issue for you and can see that the payment is not being processed due to inconsistencies between your billing address and your location.
Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause."
I asked for more info and didn't get a response. I had tried with my paypal, with my visa. I called my bank, they said they were never even prompted to pay.
My guess is they use the location for your ip and match that with your billing address.

Quote from potches : Well you'd have to wait for the GOTY edition to be released, and then to go on sale.... the PS4 is being announced today, so I'm not going to wait till next year to play BL2

That's cool. I hope you jumped on this deal. I did not. I can wait for GotY to go on sale. I have a dozen or two games that are begging for my attention at the moment.

Only a dozen or two??? I'm impressed!! I still haven't gotten around to finishing Bioshock yet...and I still continue to purchase new games. My backlog is approaching 4 figures!

In41 XCOM. Hopes for it to be fun! Thanks for post!

I bought xcom last night for $24. Grrrr

confirmation email... its been hours already.. eh

Just picked up XCOM. Haven't played this series since the 2nd one, hope it's as fun as that one WAS (tried again a few years ago... it hurt).

Of course my CC was declined, so I had to use paypal. Oh well, at least I got to talk to the fraud department at the bank

Thanks op.

Needs more help. My Paypal is the exact same as my GMG email, it says they deny it because they think its a gambling site. My debit card and other credit card both also fail. When I call the CC companies, they say no transaction was ever attempted.

Just got it and played for an hour then lost my progress due to a glitch that's been around since October, according to the support forums - and there are no autosaves. Might try again tomorrow. I recommend you save frequently.

Not loving GMG. Website keeps throwing server errors when I'm trying to create the account; finally lets me through, and the email that you get to "confirm your email account for new users" leads to a 404 error. Calling this one garbage for me, would rather just pay more for a working service.

Quote from gabe23111 : First time using GMG. Just tried checking out with PayPal and got this: Your Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue. Anyone else get this trying to use PayPal?

My first purchase with GMG was the BL2 DLC and it worked fine with PayPal. I JUST went through the process and picked up XCOM (THANKS OP!) and it worked again with PayPal. That message is odd...and must be a PayPal to Bank issue as it states.
