Metro Last Light $0.01 - Best Buy Digital Download

94

Hey all,

Don't know if this is real, but you can try for yourself. There is probably a huge chance that you will not get the game, but its only 1c.

EDIT: All my orders were canceled, but I've heard of people being able to get keys. I reckon you gotta be pretty lucky to get one.

EDIT 2: The deal is probably US only. Most people commenting on the bargain were unable to get a key, however people in the US were. By all means, keep trying if you like.

    Ill report back whether i get the code or not.

  • "This recipient does not accept payments from non-US PayPal accounts."

  • My order got cancelled because my card didn't match my relo's address :(

  • No AU Paypal, but can use AU credit card.

    • Did you put your real AU address in or a made up US one?

  • Nearly all my orders have been canceled, except for my first…

    I've heard people were able to get one key, but I can't verify for sure.

      • I used my VISA, I think its a one per customer thing, if you check the model number it says 'FREE METRO LAST LIGHT'

          also noticed this:

          Special Note about Apple® iTunes Codes

          • You may not use an international credit card to purchase an iTunes Code. If you attempted to purchase an iTunes Code from Best Buy in the US using an international credit card, your entire order will be automatically canceled.

          Obviously referring to itunes but i imagine this may be similar, good luck tho

    read this:

    • Unfortunately, this didn't seem to work for me.

      Then again, I did order like 5 before trying this address.

  • got rejected using non-us paypal bugger

  • seems to accepted it wiht my AMEX

  • anyone get lucky looks like US peeps got the key within 5 minutes

  • Just paid via my VISA using a US address. Status now says "Order in process of being fulfilled." fingers crossed.

    • Got the same thing using the US address Best Buy suggest for overseas buyers (above). Load of crap from Best Buy.

  • Used US mailing address an virtual credit card linked to that address and still cancelled.

  • Cant pay with paypal or credit card….. No other way for me.

    You might not get a code. It's saying in the product features that it's included with the purchase of select Gigiabyte Geforce GTX cards. So if one of those cards isn't in the same order. Basically it's one of those Nvidia Metro Last Light promo codes. Here comes a bunch of refunds.

    • how long ago did you buy?

    • +1

      Actually it's not Gigabyte sorry it's EVGA. Still as I said the catch is the code must be ordered a long with one of those Geforce GTX cards listed in the sale description for to qualify to get it. It would be the same as how AMD is giving out some games on the purchase of select AMD Radeon cards from select retailers. And it's the same as how there's a Gigabyte GTX 670 card from PCCG that comes with a Metro Last Light promo code which is the Australian stock version of this. Same thing here from Best Buy but it doesn't come without the card purchase. Otherwise waste of time. Also Best Buy is notorious for not accepting foreign credit cards.

      So did people really think they were going to be getting Metro Last Light for 1c without there being a catch?. Once the Best Buy staff go through these orders and see the customer hasn't purchased one of the qualifying video cards they'll cancel the order and issue a refund. They're probably charging this 1c for the Metro Last Light promo code as some dodgy handling fee.

      So basically you don't qualify for this Metro Last Light promo code if you don't also purchase one of the Geforce GTX cards with it from Best Buy. You've all just wasted your time.

    The web link in the topic no longer exists. Best Buy must not be offering this Metro Last Light Nvidia promo code as an online order any more after yesterdays ordering abuse. It must be only coming direct with the Geforce GTX video card purchase. I guess they're having to issue too many refunds.

  • That is the ONLY online transaction I made since I got my new credit card.

    The order was cancelled evnetuallyas per above.

    However, a credit card fraudulent transaction was made online for about $2000 on that new credit card with MY details (address/etc) just last week.

    Has anyone else had a recent fraudulent transaction?

    • I'd suggest you run a malware scan on your computer ASAP to make sure there's no keyloggers present.
