Where do you live that Euro is cheaper for you? :o For where I live, conversion rate is like 1 Euro to 3 bucks.

i wanted to say dollar is cheaper for me XD
btw I live in Hungary
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe it's more expensive in € because of VAT, not conversion rate.
Comment has been collapsed.
i would say both factos equally do pay a role in it, at least here one dollar cost less than 1 euro

that seems a bit high

Depends. In the store, with our VAT, you can save dozens of euros on some of the deals, if you spend enough.

Don't you fuck with Tim.
He was there when I contacted bundlestars.
he was great.

I don't like him. He didn't approve my payment when I used a proxy :P

We have a problem here. This is what happens when an immovable object say TIm meets with unstoppable force aka you.

If it's a free VPN, mostly are dynamic IPs. So that wouldn't work, like all too well. :P Best is to have a friend abroad and have him/her set up a VPN tunneling for you only.
Comment has been collapsed.
its the very first time I bought with a vpn, all my previous purchases were made in a regular way
been using Tor to make the purchase
Comment has been collapsed.
What's bad with Tor and detection is, the same list to obtain Tor proxies can be used by companies to easily filter out you're using Tor. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
While TOR protects your real ip, it doesn't hide that you use TOR as its exit nodes are readily known. You shouldn't be surprised :) Use hola instead of TOR as its IPs are from real peops around the world and are not registered in proxy lists.

Make sure you disable/remove it again afterwards so they can't continue reselling your bandwidth.

Tim is all-seeing and all-knowing. Your proxy is no match for his powers of detection!

i did it once, and it was to prevent to get a censored german version (it was Enemy Front, i believe). if bundlestars has a problem with selling me the correct version, i will just ask a friend next time. i certainly will not accept censored games. i'd rather pass completely then.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure they'd prefer to sell you the correct version, but laws force them to sell you a castrated version.
Comment has been collapsed.
that's actually not true. Bundlestars/Focus Media is not a german company. i am allowed to buy uncensored versions of the games that are banned here from other countries, as long as i am 18+. even the really bad stuff with swastikas. ^^ so when Bundlestars sells censored versions to me based on my IP address, that is either their own decision or the publisher's. but it is not enforced by law in any way.
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't understand how it works, sadly. And you are breaking German law by playing uncensored games in Germany -- that's just the fact of the matter because the art clause only includes TV/movies and not video games.
I suggest you read up on Strafgesetzbuch Section 86 and 86a, specifically:
§ 86a StGB Use of Symbols of Unconstitutional Organizations
(1) Whoever:
- domestically distributes or publicly uses, in a meeting or in writings (§ 11 subsection (3)) disseminated by him, symbols of one of the parties or organizations indicated in § 86 subsection (1), nos. 1, 2 and 4; or
- produces, stocks, imports or exports objects which depict or contain such symbols for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1,
shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine.
See that word import? LOL It doesn't matter if you drew it with your own hands or bought it from another planet, you're still subject to imprisonment/fine.
But...you can fool yourself however you want if that helps you sleep at night.
Edit: P.S. I'm not in agreement with the laws or anything. I think censorship is stupid. I'm just trying to let you know the actual facts. Even anti-Nazi activists have been arrested for using the symbols in protest.
Comment has been collapsed.
sorry, but in fact you are the one who misunderstands the law. (2) says for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1. so i am not allowed to distribute media with such symbols (i do not intend to) or use them in the manner indicated in (1). so what does (1) say? domestically distributes or publicly uses, which again - i do not intend to distribute, nor do i intend to publicly use media with symbols of unconstitutional organizations. personal posession and use however is not forbidden.
Even anti-Nazi activists have been arrested for using the symbols in protest
sure they have. that's clearly public use.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've bolded the pertinent parts for you. It says "produces, stocks, imports or exports objects which depict or contain such symbols for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine."
Comment has been collapsed.
you still misunderstand it.
for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1
number 1 doesn't mention private use or posession. that is how to understand it. for use in the manner indicated in number 1. you seem to completely ignore this last part of the sentence. so let me try to make this even more clear:
for distribution or use domestically or abroad,
in the manner indicated in number 1*
*nothing about private use or posession here
it doesn't just say use domestically or abroad, it says use domestically or abroad in the manner indicated in number 1. you understand now?
it's well known by every german who took 5 minutes to google this, that this paragraph means exactly what i am trying to explain to you.

i was hoping to get another answer. oh well, i take it as silent approval. ;)

He mentions proxy though. Not a VPN.
There is no way they can find out that you are using a VPN if you set it up correctly though.

Ah that Tim guy. He's a nice guy, helping me when I had trouble before. My own fault (but not stupid bypassing the system) - human mistake - but he fixed it pretty fast.

Just did that with VPN, not proxy tho, using Russian VPN, got my self Mortal Kombat X + 7 DLCs for 15€ instead of paying 18€ like it cost here in Europe :P

Tim seems nice, i didnt knew i was connected to cyberghost when i tried to buy bundle on indiegala, now my card is banned (it works fine anywhere else) and indiegala dont know what to do or they dont care
Comment has been collapsed.
It's indiegala we're talking about. They're bunch of incompetent fools.
Comment has been collapsed.
well only solution left for me is to buy bundles from sellers here, i tried talking to them but they just put that on their payment processor (which is stripe) amazingly humblebundle and bundlestar use stripe too and my card works fine there so this has to be indiegala issue

Pay with bitcoin! Noone can hinder you buying with "that" wallet.
Comment has been collapsed.
hmmm sounds good but I havent used btc before so im not familiar with how to buy btc or use it.. are there any secure website which i can use credit card to purchase btc? i`ll give it a read meanwhile
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been using a german exchange for my btc needs. Ask that again on https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ OR on http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ .
As for the wallet client i keep hearing that electrum is very convenient and simple to use one. I doesn't require you to load the full transaction list. I'm sticking to bitcoin core but it takes ages initially to get the current list.
