OOTP9 pre-order problem

Slant · 06-05-2008, 02:54 PM

I'd like to pay for OOTP9 in USD, not Euros. I'm currently in the UK on vacation and the webstore only lets me pay in Euros. I won't be home until after it's released so I'll lose the pre-order discount. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

Have someone in the states order it for you and pay them back.

I think that may be the only possible solution.

Yep, or maybe a proxy server? Otherwise, you're s**t outta luck.

I tried a proxy server to access the BBC site content from the states, but was still blocked.

In fairness, the BBC site is VERY VERY well locked down. I've used proxies all the time to access stuff. For example I watched Le Mans last year on a Dutch website where you had to be in Holland.

As I said, the BBC... I have NO idea how they've been so damn clever, but it's the one geo locked place I've yet to be able to crack.
