Anyone have a UK based proxy?

[Dwood]

I need good proxy. :(

[sdavis117]

If I never see a proxy again, I will be happy.

I might as well buy the actual game, unless someone in the UK who already owns one of these games wants to give me a code.

[Bodzilla]

this is hilarious.

but dont these games have securom on them :/

[Dwood]

Bleh the worst part is that it's still detecting me and I still can't log in/register.

If I never see a proxy again, it'll be too soon. :(

[sdavis117]

I think the proxies I tried might have given my PC AIDS.

[InnerGoat]

this is hilarious.

but dont these games have securom on them :/

I'll just roll back the system after playing them lol

[StankBacon]

stop messing with shitty ip lists that don't work and use a web proxy.

Wow, that actually worked.

DL'ing them right now.

[Kalub]

Still working?

[sdavis117]

yeah

[Kalub]

working... epic win goon sire

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Protip: In order for this to work, you need to add all of the games.

[jcap]

Not anymore.

[Kalub]

sux mr jcapcap

[Dwood]

sux mr jcapcap

Indeed. It was either go see Surrogates or find a working proxy.

[ThePlague]

:C

I wanted Dead Space

[Kalub]

You can have my account with Deadspace on it if Mirrors edge blows ass. It's the only game I wanted and I won't even know until Monday/Tuesday.

[InnerGoat]

Give deadspace a try it's probably the best of the bunch

[ThePlague]

:D

PM me when you figure it out

Mirror's Edge is awesome, but flawed and not for everyone.

[Cortexian]

If anyone got any extra ones, I'd love to give these games a try.

Apparently they fixed the glitch, and I can't find any working UK proxies anyways.

[Siliconmaster]

Damn. Missed this by a few hours. : (

[n00b1n8R]

FUCK

I need to check the techtalk section more often :smithicide:

[Disaster]

FUCK

I need to check the techtalk section more often :smithicide:
yeah, same here :smith:

[SonicXtreme]

Back after last nights download"a"thon , all the games work fine , just been playing Mirrors Edge , for those who are playing Dead Space , if its your first time round on it , play it on medium or hard , gives the best effect , and gives you the time of your life.

[FireDragon04]

Damn, missed this one, i was up untill 4am too, just didn't check the forum. Cheapest i've figured out you can get them for is £3.74 now. As they are £4.99 just apply the 25% off code "VoucherCodes.com25%" and your good to go for £3.74. I won't be using that but its a damn good price, still sucks i missed it for the best price of all FREE.

[Timo]

Got mine thanks to Jelly :]

I can't believe how cheap they are though. Here, Mirror's edge is five times the price :|

[Shock120]

Damn. Missed this by a few hours. : (:smith: me too.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I got them, which is good, but I wonder what exactly caused this?

[SonicXtreme]

No idea , all i can say about it , is that you can definately expect someone to get fired for this mistake , they lost out on potential money.

[Dwood]

Not really. They just let people download it for free.

[StankBacon]

.... which means lost sales.

[Dwood]

.... which means lost sales.

Not necessarily. I won't get the games unless they're free. I am therefore not a potential buyer.

[=sw=warlord]

Not necessarily. I won't get the games unless they're free. I am therefore not a potential buyer.
You may not but if someone had been just searching the site to buy it and finds theres a glitch to get it for free then the company just lost that sale.

[Ganon]

dwood take an economics class and look at some supply and demand graphs ok

[Jelly]

Not necessarily. I won't get the games unless they're free. I am therefore not a potential buyer.
You're still a potential buyer.

[sdavis117]

EA is full of insecure idiots who feel that they need to chew someone's head off for every dollar in the world that isn't in their pockets.

Of course who ever did this is going to get fired.

[Amit]

It's sad to know that a person made a great many of you happy, but will soon be sacked for it.

[Arteen]

I really doubt anyone will get fired for this, unless this is one of a few screwups.

[Jean-Luc]

Uh...no shit somebody is going to get fired. Toss the stupid "EA are jerks" mentality out and what do you have? You have a company who potentially lost thousands of dollars because of an employee error. Why the fuck should it matter if it's EA or any other company? You screw up like that, YOU GET FIRED.

[jcap]

No one would get fired for this.

A company always accounts for extremely minor losses like this. It's barely pocket change.

The glitch was probably left over from some other promotional deal they had. It was probably something like "Buy 3 games at $15, get one for free of equal or lesser value!" (-$15)

Whole system was broke, I managed to get a discount of £44.95 ($71)
