    It works out to £5 a game! Not sure how many dollars, maybe 7 or 8?

    We need 8 people for the pack though.

    So far three of us. Any one else interested?

    $59.99 8-Pack = $7.50 per person.

    Since your using £ I guess your trying to organize this for UK area and if that is the case not sure if its ok to include NA players (region locked game?)

    Anyways once we figure that part out I would be willing to pay $7.50 for a copy.

    The master purchase needs to be done by a trusted member and payment via paypal usually.

    Yes of course a well established, trusted member should be the purchaser.

    I am sure they are not region locked? I am happy for the game to be purchased in US and if my download doesn't work, so be it. It is worth the 5 bucks trying!

    I didnt say it was region locked :D I was just saying check first.

    I just checked and didnt see any evidence of that being a problem.

    I guess maybe I was thinking of LFD2 while its not locked per say to a region, some regions have a censored version so if somebody from that region purchased it I think that is the version everybody gets even if they live in a different region.

    Psh you "just checked" :p

    It's safe to get it. It's a single player game anyway so you won't have problems with any sort of coop connection or anything since there's none :p

    It indeed is if you can get it :p Otherwise, if you have the money already you can get it for yourself first and your friends and then worry finding a buyer before the offer runs out.

    It's a huge game, quite fun and if you're a completionist, it'll probably take at least 30-50 hours of your time. If you run through the storyline... Maybe a good 10-12 hours :) But then again why run through the storyline when you have multiple islands to burn to the ground >:3

    Like I said you can count me in.

    Once you have 5 or 6 people its pretty safe to think you can pick up the other 3 at a later time.

    I vouch for Vicious for being a "trusted member to buy the game and then send out the games"

    No one can scam him. He has a katana and is not afraid to use it to hunt down scammers.

    I'll handle the transactions thats fine.

    Just PM me "Just Cause 2" or similar and I will reply with my paypal email, once I get half of the people to pay (4) I will order it and can get the last 4 as they come.

    Now here is something important. Make sure you send the money to me as a personal transaction, you can send it as gift, money owed, it does not matter but it just has to be under the personal.

    I have created this cheat sheet to make that easy to understand and follow for everybody.

    Think I might have to back out of this unfortunately, since I don't have paypal yet and it will take a few days to set up since I need to get something verified by the bank, and can't go there for the next few days.

    Sorry guys :(

    EDIT
    Working with Vicious to get this to work, should be able to get it done :D

    Got RaYYaN's Payment for 2 copies, may need a different email for the 2nd copy because a person can only have one copy of the game. However maybe you can get the 2nd copy as a gift and give it to your friend.

    Paypal fee went up on donations :/

    Im doing this all lol while trying to snipe an ebay acution ending in 2 minutes and should be sleeping for work :D

    5 Gone
    3 Left!

    Act quickly to secure your copy for the low price of $7.50

    Edit: off to work in about 30 minutes if you want to get in now you can get it before I go to work. If not before then it will be a few hours before I get a chance to help anybody with transactions.

    Too late to get in on this? New Steam user, just made an account a couple days ago.

    I will still be up and checking this thread periodically for the next couple hours, hopefully you'll respond by then. I'm in the US if it matters with currency and whatnot.

    Ok guys my 8 pack is all gone.

    Everything went smooth, I cant buy another there is a limit for what ever reason so somebody else has to get one if you want to continue further to try and split these up.

    I'll try to get some gameplay videos up of the game in action later today.
