Are you buying it through the US or UK site? On the UK its £28, on the US it doesn't mention 'complete collection' and therefore I dont know if it includes the expansion packs?

ETA. Try this link everyone:

Got the full expansion pack a few months ago, it takes loads of memory and will only run on my brother laptop, no other laptop or pc will take it for some reason.

Great fun though, like how the farms never run out, you can buy a factory to produce wood after a certain level and you get a coin plantation so its an almost unlimited supply of wood, food and coin. smile

Bah. Downloaded, installed, then it asks for a CD key. Fine thinks I, it's probably been emailed to me. Except the provider of the email I use for Windows Live has apparently ceased to exist. Lame.

Can anyone confirm they got their CD key by email?

What a pita..

I go there and realise i have to register. I plumb in my email adress and get told i am already a member so i then fail to figure out my password.

So I go to change my password and it no longer recognises the email address as an account holder.

Next, I try to use a different email adress to register a new account and it won't let me register because i do not live in the US.

Feck it, i am sure you can buy a five yr old game for a couple of quid anyway..

For anyone else who is still having problems (like me!), Microsoft have run out of activation keys....

Microsoft said:
Due to the overwhelming success of the Age of Empires III sale, we have temporarily run out of keys to unlock the game. You can still buy the game at this amazing price and you will get/see a key in the next week. When new keys are added to the system you will be auto-assigned a key, there is no need to call support or take any other action from your end. We will post here on the forums when the keys are available and the next time you click 'View Game Keys' for the game you should be assigned one.

Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy the game.

Ooh, you mean on the bit where it says "View Game Keys"?

Honestly, I worry about myself sometimes hehe Thanks for the advice. I got my key so I'm installing now
