$$$ Best Rome II Prices $$$

[zagy20]

I have no problem paying $88 for it. If it is as good as Shogun 2 or the first Rome then I think it is well worth it.

I'm basically trying to find where I can get the Collector's Edition. If I can't get the CE then it's digital download for me.

You can get a digital copy from steam in Russia at the price of 40$ if you have relatives there.

[♞Rogue General♞]

@[N2]Kami Thanks, added! Also, the price in Russia is actually less than $40:

999 руб = 23.86€= $31.20 (USD)

Just saying Russian games on Steam are region locked to Russia. I got Rome 2 through a person from Georgia (Steam Gift) for $35 in TF2 keys.

Hmm, I was under the impression that games are account-locked, not region-locked. For example, you can have a Russian friend gift you Rome II (at Russian Steam price) to your account. You will then be able to play that game (wherever you might be located). You cannot, however, buy from the Russian Steam store if you live in a different country:

Rules and stuff

... Helpful tip: Spoiler Alert, click show to read:  Is it allowed if I ask someone else to buy a game that is not locked to a region, and gift it to me? Yes, this is allowed. BY THE WAY, this also works fine on region locked games. It helps to have a friend in a non-locked country like USA, because they can buy the game and gift it to you, and it's perfectly legal. Also, mind that some games have different region versions. Those versions count by where they have been bought, not where they have been installed.

Interesting finds.

If you happen to know someone in Russia, ask them to buy Rome 2 there and gift you their copy (I bought most of my non-sale games this way). Its only $31, completely legit, and it beats anything retail, the best "deal" atm (which is true for many other games as well). There are games that region locked but the majority aint - Rome 2 AFAIK isnt, so double-check it yourself. I remember there are tricks and sites specifically made to check if which games are locked, but cant recall any atm.

Please be noted that only gifted game counts, if you use VPN to buy game there is against Steam EULA.

Edit: another way to get game from Russian region is by 3rd party websites: they sell you CD key from retail boxes. However I dont advise anyone doing this way since there is absolutely no guarantee. If you are well prepared for the risk and still interested, google cdkeyhouse, I bought Anno 2070 from them a while back.

@kronpas

Thanks for the info. I'm seeing mixed reviews for cdkeyhouse, though.

They have quite a few unflattering reviews.

Not all games purchased on the Russian Steam store are region locked, but if you're interested, you can pretty much check yourself;

Go to the Steam store and add /?cc=ru to the url. This will take you to the Russian version of the store. Check out different games and you'll see that the region locked games have a warning on the game's page. Off the top of my head, Borderlands 2, Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite (just as examples) were recent titles that had this warning.

Other games such as Call of Duty Ghosts have a (RU) tag added to the title on the Russian store. Rome II, which is also a pre-order, has no warnings or tags. The same languages are listed for the US, UK, EU and RU versions. Therefore I highly doubt that RII is region locked. Hope that helps.

Go to the Steam store and add /?cc=ru to the url. This will take you to the Russian version of the store.

I wonder if this is allowed ? I just test and it works on my browser and change it to UK. Buying the game is GBP is more cheaper than USD which by default in my country the game is priced in USD.

Anyone have any ideas ?

I'm telling you how to look at the store pages from other countries. These are NOT instructions on how to buy from them! It's not possible to do it like that anyway.

[kronpas]

My own single copy still works, so they aint all that bad. Perhaps as a small business they cant afford to refund/send new CDkey every time things go wrong and people are pissed off because of that.

Now I finally got time to read your #1 post it seems I dont contribute much besides the unreliable cdkeyhouse

[kambiz]

Is there any store that ship the physical copy to any part of the world???

@Darvich & LestaT
Like I said, the game is not region-locked to play, however you cannot buy a game from a foreign Steam store. You can have a foreign friend gift you Rome II. You will then be able to play the game from anywhere.
The Russian Steam store currently has the lowest price for pre-ordering the game, so if you've got a friend that lives in Russia, you're in luck!

No worries- somebody, somewhere will find your post helpful. The more info we pass around, the better for all of us.
Don't hesitate to post something that you think might be useful.

Might I suggest you take a look at the OP? Perchance your question will be answered without you having to even ask

Yeah. Thanks. I got confirmation from Steam forum that Steam may ban my account if I do that. Evil Steam

A quick google search turned up this. Not sure if it comes with the Greek City States DLC... if you could confirm that it does, I will add it to the OP.

I did my dear ... I did I asked to " any part of the world " ! in the first post there was indeed store that could sent nearly world wide ,But still not to place I will I meant to everywhere with no restriction.
Thanks

Hmm, that is strange. You are saying that none of the four worldwide digital download links work for you? In which country are you located? We might be better able to help you if we knew that.

Edit: @Dictator of the Roman Republic Thanks, fixed

Like I said, it seems reliable, but I'm not sure if they include the Greek DLC. You will have to contact them to clarify that. Otherwise, as fanest said, you can use zavvi (but because of the cost of shipping to India, I think you are better off buying a physical copy locally).

Cancelled my pre-order the Rome II for $ 59.99 USD on Steam. A friend from Moscow (in another forum) I bought this game as a gift for 999 rubles. ($ 32 USD), I have already received confirmation of receipt of the game.

Nice... now I wish I had me some Russian friends

Dear friend , I don't have problem with digital download as it could be done from anywhere ! I'm want to obtain a physical copy of the game because with slow speed internet connection we have here it would be really frustrating to download a whole over 30Gig plus future updates for Me :p That's why I want to have the discs.

BTW ,I live in Iran as indicated in my profile

Thanks beforehand for help

Whoops, sorry for misunderstanding haha
Ok, so I checked out zavvi's delivery system, and curiously enough they deliver to all the countries surrounding Iran (Iraq, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan etc.) but not to Iran itself.
I have a feeling it might be due to a trade embargo, or some other political nonsense. If that is the case, I think your best option is to try to find a local seller of the game, from within Iran or from surrounding countries. Perhaps someone else on the forum knows more about your region than I do, and can give your more information
