Snorks Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Don't know if it's down to licensed retailers or not enough customers in NZ, but I usually get the boxed copy fro my birthday, and have been informed by my daughter that they can't find anyone who sells it this year. Tried all the usual places, MightyApe, The Nile, Fishpond etc . EB Games say 'Out of Stock' but it looks like they are the only retailer who offers it - mail order only. Anyone know of a reason why?

FrazT Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Actual discs are becoming harder to find since many retailers are now only selling an authorisation code. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, to wrap up the story, lovely wifey got hold of an old friend in the UK who was coming over for Xmas - not to see us - and got them to buy & bring. So, got the disc! Installing as I type.

Snorks Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 So, it appears there is a geographic lock on the disc I have which is from the UK. The activation code gives me this: Any ideas? I would give the sega support a call but don;t think they will be available . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the discs are region only, so yea, you'd have to use a VPN to get onto Steam via a EU IP, and activate the code then. It should work fine after that.

Unfortunately, this happens because the code is region specific- I have had the same issue here in OZ. Clearly, we cannot give you specific advice on how to get around that on the forum, but maybe someone who has already posted has already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i love using Steam now, makes me able to buy and download without the guilt of physically handing my money over :-) Where in NZ are you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only really because the daughter gives it to me every year on my birthday - hence having something to unwrap!
