Microsoft points, you can buy them from shops and such... or use a card...
they are sold in random amounts, think the lowest is 500/1000 it's a pretty reasonable exchange rate, although i'm not 100% on what it is
Works for me. Thank you! (and the OP of course)Markness said:You have to download the client.BennoTheDutch said:Thanks, but:
Microsoft said:
It's a lot of effort to get this games for windows crap installed but I'll let you know how I go. Finally a good reason to have Microsoft points!
EDIT: Okay so I downloaded their clumsy client and attempted to install it. It gave me an error but thanks to the folks over at Microsoft who are used to glitches and failures it had specific instructions on how to get around it. After reinstalling and reopening the client I finally got it to work. Not 2 minutes after it started downloading it crashed. I've started it up again and it seems fine now.
EDIT2: The client refuses to download the product which I payed for. Every time it starts downloading it crashes. Not only this but my firewall says that even when the process has been killed that it was still downloading. I restarted the computer and checked the firewall. Again -> max download speed for something even though I didn't tell it to do anything. But the worst part is that my system resources are being chewed like Hubba Bubba. Fuck you Microsoft, a great deal yes but a shitty shitty service.
EDIT3: Ironic that this 'games for windows service' thing is more crippling than a computer virus. My firewall still says max download speed even though no programs are accessing it (even when Games for windows client is closed!). I ask you, what is it downloading if the game is listed as 0%?
EDIT4: I uninstalled the client and my firewall (even after restarts and firewall being exited and closed) still reads max download speed. Gee, thanks for killing my computer Microsoft.

Come on, even that's a little too much. You'd just get a bit of the flavouring that they dusted off the shapes for 10 cents.Dark Knifer said:
On topic: Thanks OP. I'd been looking at this game for a while, but its continual refusal to go down in price meant I never got around to buying it. 10 points though, that's too much of a steal to pass up.
Hueston we ahve a problem.Rand-m said:Not 10$.

If this was already posted, please just point me to a link and I'll have the mods remove it.
If not... Thank me later
So i goes to buy it and it tells me its 27.49... please help me out by answering this
I'm absolutely not trying to hijack this thread, but did anyone else find it amusing about the DRM involved?
They really feel the need to protect a 10 cent game?
Not a real issue, I just think it's kind of funny, is all.
anyways, just as an update, if you're having trouble, check the country you're logged in as, the original link was Canada, but it's only 10p in the UK also, here:
