Europe is still waiting for their yearly Fuck You message.
But I heard something along the lines of you cannot get digital download if you live in Canada and you need to ship something (what costs a lot from what I've read) in order to get the promo codes?
Pretty much. I'm in Canada and I couldn't even buy a game time card due to region restrictions. No access to digital downloads either.
I managed to find something I wanted that only had a $7 shipping price attached. Some were up to $15 for postage for some reason, plus extra charges for customs. And then there's the currency conversion.
