Seeing companies that often price gouge in countries like Australia and Israel whist charging a fraction of the price elsewhere in the world for the same product removes any sympathy for them when the resellers take advantage of the price differential they themselves have created. Nothing illegal there at all and I have major issues with regional pricing on principle. Not only this, but the codes we sell work worldwide as digital downloads, unlike physical products which are sometimes region locked." Because of the savings made in postage costs (as our items are sent digitally), it allows us to provide extremely low pricing. 'Our company helps you save money by importing the games from main distributors in other countries, where games have cheaper retail prices than in countries such as Australia or Israel. I quote from one of the largest resellers CD Keys (with over 90% satisfaction ratings on Trust pilot btw): Not withstanding my own issues detailed at the top of this thread I think that is maybe a bit unfair. I have of course ended up buying it on Steam as I probably should have done originally ! Needless to say this was a no go and I put in a support ticket to Kinguin and asked for a full refund expecting a brush off. It is I am sure a matter of huge surprise to all that the email account was on a Chinese domain. Along with this I had their email address and password so I could change their Steam password to my own Having bought it, on claiming the key I did not as usual get a Steam key to register but instead got the full username and password of another person's Steam account which had Baldurs Gate in their Steam library. ![]() I got Pathfinder War of the Righteous for example for about 5 UK pounds.Īnyway with the release of Baldurs Gate 3 I checked out the resellers and found it advertised at £25 via Kinguin as opposed to £50 on Steam. Much like in my case with EPIC many folk avoid resellers like the plague but I have used various resellers to buy games at crazily low prices for a few years without any problems at all. It won’t arrive until the start of 2024 anyway, so maybe give that spare key to a friend and treat yourself for your generosity.Just a quick note about this thorny and somewhat controversial subject. Even if you do - which you probably do! - it’s a neat little set. ![]() That seems very reasonable, if you don’t already own it. One of the best things about the Deluxe Edition is that the whole set is €79.99 (£70), just over a tenner more than buying the game - and its Digital Deluxe Edition DLC, which is also included here - on Steam. You might be thinking that none of that sounds overly outlandish, and you’d be right. Most excitingly, for me at least, the whole lot is contained in a box styled after the packaging for the original Baldur’s Gate and its sequel, which brought me right back to playing Throne of Bhaal on a fuzzy CRT in the early noughties. Stick those in your Vauxhall Astra and blast Down by The River in the middle of Luton town centre, why don’tcha.įor those looking to add a bit of decor to their next D&D night, there’s also a nice double-sided map printed on bookbinding cloth, 32 stickers, two fabric patches for the Flaming Fist and Mark of the Absolute, and a poster of a Mind Flayer with some lovely-looking artwork on chalk paper. What is properly contained on good ol’ physical discs is the game’s original soundtrack, spread across three CDs. Still, I imagine you’d have to include a whole lot of DVDs for the four people who still have a drive in their PC, so I get why that’s not the case. ![]() In the box you’ll get the game on disc - although technically it’s just a custom downloader with a Steam key for PC, which is one shame about the set, as I love the idea of having a properly physical version of the game you can play without the internet once our modern infrastructure inevitably collapses. Rather than overpriced tat like a naff statue you’ll never put on a shelf in fear that friends/family/nosy neighbours might see it or that crappy miniature arm I got in MGSV’s special edition, the Deluxe Edition for Baldur’s Gate 3 seems fairly restrained. ![]() To see this content please enable targeting cookies.īaldur’s Gate 3 devs Larian have unveiled a swanky physical Deluxe Edition of the D&D RPG that packs in the game itself along with a load of physical bits and bobs.
