  • Sorry, you have already reached the Cart’s maximum of 3 items.

    I tried to do it but I am getting this error - "You might not have entered your payment details correctly, or you might have been blocked by our security system.

      You will need to checkout twice to get all the games above.

  • Error I had when checking out. Using Firefox on OS10.8.

    Proxy Error

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request POST /secure/checkout-transactional.html.

    Reason: Error reading from remote server

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    • +1

      Yeah, I got the same, but I did get an order confirmation email along with product keys.

      • I didn't. :-( At least not yet.

      • They came about 2 minutes later for me:)

        Sweet find!

    • -3

      Are we suppose to use a proxy for this to work?

    • It appears the site is currently having some trouble, perhaps keep trying every few minutes and it should eventually go through.

    Is Bioshock 2 that good that it should be listed twice in the title?

    the site is slow………

    Looks like the site is being hammered.

    Not working for me. I give up for now. I will try again from home later. Bargain if it worked. Tried Google Chrome, Firefox and IE all same error message. Anyone got it to work??

    FEEL THE WRATH OF OZBARGAIN

    Proxy error let's see how we go

    OP update title to PC GAMES ONLY

    • +1

      Pretty sure it's the whole internet, not just ozbargain.

      • +1

        you're like that guy that revealed the magicians secrets

    • Updated, forgot about that little detail :P Also behold the wrath of Reddit and CAG and all the other bargain-hunting-internet-ers!

  • I want to plus this but after trying all morning for it to go through and failing constantly I might just wait until someone gets successful.

    • :(
      Perhaps you'll have to try in a few hours, the site is being hammered after the deal was discovered.

  • how do u fix the payment refused issue?

  • +1

    I haven't got this to work, but I have received an email for creating my account, which includes the password in plain text.

    These guys are doing it wrong. Not keen to ever buy something from them if the password is not even hashed.

    • +1

      At least you can create an account. That won't even work for me.

    • +3

      I made an account too, but wont let me log in :(

  • These guys are doing it wrong.

    Maybe you are doing it wrong if you don't have unique passwords for each site you visit…

    I assume no site stores your details hashed, and if it does then its a bonus.

    • +5

      I don't care that this password is exposed, I care that they did this at all. Would you trust them with your credit card? Would you add games that actually cost money to an account that is secured in this way?

      For people who reuse passwords (which is most people), everywhere that you use the same email address and password is now exploited. You should probably change them all.

      • +4

        Would you trust them with your credit card?

        This.

        If you can't hash a password, you aren't getting my business. If you email my password in plain text, I'm deleting my account.

        Seriously.

        This shit isn't hard. I've been encrypting passwords for years, it's a one-liner… Even MySQL has a command for it!

  • -5

    Yea mine wont let me create an account. Invalid email and username apparently.

    • +8

      You can't neg this deal for not having a valid email address!!

    • You got till the 26th to download. Just wait and try again.

    • -2

      Why neg?

      • +2

        Tried 6 different emails, different combinations of usernames and passwords. Wont accept any emails I put in. Page is broken recently.

        Read other comments, People cant make accounts now. Form is broken.

        • +1

          Got it to eventually work but did take quite a few goes. Got a number of different errors prior to it working. My only advice is just to keep trying.

          Currently d/l bioshock 2 at 150-300kb/s.

    • -2

      Users negging him:

      The site not working after half a dozen attempts is a perfectly valid reason to neg.

      What difference is it to you if there's a valid neg on this deal? Take a chill pill.

      • -1

        With all respect, the deal will be alive for another 7 days. I'm sure all those complaining here will be able to access the site shortly and receive the games as posted above. At least posting the deal has made more people aware of it for when it does work.

        • +1

          Your guess that it will work eventually is as good as his guess that it won't.

          Regardless, it's not working now, and that's useful to know.

          Do you see what I mean? His contribution is useful, but suppressing his comment and neg, on the other hand, helps absolutely no-one.

      • -2

        What difference is it to you if there's a valid neg on his comments?

    • All the neg votes at your comment, when it's clear that you were right, and their site sucks at such basic things?!

  • Agree here. Web site is slow as a snail at the moment.

    Error creating account. Even though I got sent registration email.
    Unable to login with newly created account.

    Either get "Invalid Login or password. Please try again or create a new account" or a "502 Proxy Error" message when I try logging in.

    Definitely looks like the server is overloaded and having issues. I will try again later and hopefully I will be able to login and download these.

  • +1

    Thought I'd let ozbargain know that I finally got bioshock to go through. Got an email a few minutes ago. So positive vote from me.

    I'm at work and just spammed till it worked (approx 20 times).

  • +1

    Hi guys, always suggested the payment error,"

    Invalid Card number" but can't add info.

    anyone help?

    • Yeah, I'm getting the same while trying to get Midnight Club 2… I'm assuming it's just due to server load.

    • +1

      I don't really know.
      I tried it, got the proxy error message "Proxy Error

      The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
      The proxy server could not handle the request POST /secure/checkout-transactional.html.

      Reason: Error reading from remote server

      Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

      Haven't received any keys (was done a good two hours ago) and whenever I try to do it again I get
      "Payment Refused You might not have entered your payment details correctly, or you might have been blocked by our security system."
      Perhaps it thinks it is already in my account??.

      It is either the site is getting really hammered and will just take time or the deal is off. Not sure.

      Good luck to all.
      :)

      • +1

        Got the same errors, but it eventually went through. My email with the link to download page came in at 224pm.

        • Thanks for that!

  • +2

    Taking forever to load!

  • -1

    Sorry to hear that so many are having trouble with the site. It is obviously under heavy load and you might have to wait a day or so until the site is more responsive. Do not panic, as long as the deal is continued, you will have until the 26th to purchase and download the games. The current download speed in any case is very slow, about 6 hours for one game.

    • They do say it's until 26th or they run out of keys. I suspect when you're offering popular games for free that you're probably going to run out of keys…

  • +4

    Incorrect payment the first time. Failed to register me the second time. Said I already registered the third time. Invalid username/password the fourth time.

    Give up :-(

    Just realised, this site screws up my flash and javascript for the other web pages.

    The games are gone…

    • It's gone for me also… Unless I have done something wrong…

    • Saw that too. So frustrating. :(

    Site is working but none of the 4 titles can be found now! Must have been a mistake?

  • +2

    signed up but won't let me login, think they may have fixed it so only old members can get it

      no, i gave a positive for nothing, biggest waste of time and effort.

      • i suppose the 98 other people did the same

      • +2

        I got all excited and +'d prematurely. Never again. :(

    • I successfully managed to register/add title to the cart but couldnt manage to check out - too slow.

  • +1

    What an absolute farce.

    EDIT: forgot to add that their website is a steaming pile of crap. Not allowing registered users to log in because the 'information is incorrect' is just laughable.

  • +2

    I can login ok, but the free games seem to have disappeared. Lame!

  • +2

    I started doing this since when this was posted and no game.

    • +1

      Same here. I almost had luck on one of the occasions when the site was momentarily up after being down for maintenance, but was stopped by that silly payment processing error (as if there was any payment involved). Sooo slooow. I could've changed the world had I not spent all that time trying. Thanks SpaceInvader112 nonetheless. Killer bargain in the end, literally speaking.

      • Thanks IslandStyle, sorry the offer ended so soon :(

  • +1

    Sorry guys and gals, the site got hammered way too fast for most of you to benefit :(

    • +2

      Not your fault. Thank you for sharing!

  • +2

    Crap web site. I signed up earlier today and it wouldn't allow me to login with my new password, kept saying my user name and password were incorrect when I tried to log in. I tried again earlier this evening by creating another account with a different email address and got exactly the same error. Even though on both occasions I could request a lost password.

    Gave up. Revoked my positive vote. Crap like this does not deserve any positive votes unless it works and you can actually get the product.

  • +4

    Hi.
    Ive started using the ozbargin website in the last week and
    found this ""deal/bargin/special" the WORST on offer

    May I suggest remove this company from ever being listed ever again.

    It seemed like a total scam to get people to sign up.
    I told 25 people about this offer, everyone went to sign up , everyone got the same thing , taking hours to respond , error messages with logging in , saying the account already existed.

    Myself it didnt work in Firefox , so I tired in IE , got a message saying I couldnt make the account as the name and email was used. So I asked for a password reset, to get a message saying the account on that email didnt exist.

    Worst offer of 2012 for me

  • +2

    I didn't vote cause it didn't work… lol

    • +3

      Same here - got nothing, so gave nothing. I don't think I've ever negged anything on OB yet, but this was very close to being my first lol

      • +2

        Negs are important. This deal is utter BS. Yet it has 101 positives and only 5 negs.
        Please neg when you think it deserves it, otherwise I and others spend time looking at bogus crap.

  • bad bargain…

  • Nothing but a nightmare since the deal was posted. Hate to think how many attempts and refreshes I spent, chasing a wild goose.

    Let me guess…. They didn't expect this much demand. First & last experience.
