    Aye, I found this quite ironic and my hopes of a good game are starting to diminish.

    Even if I do manage to progress a bit through the order, I still wasn't able to create a Click&Buy account, as I'm trying to do so since yesterday. Getting an "Unknown address" error all the time, despite the information being correct. I'm not very fond of making international calls to get support, so I've just e-mailed them, but I wouldn't expect an answer at least till Monday :/

    I wish they'd gone with Paypal that never gave me any trouble. :/ As is the current situation, I will probably be unable to get a Pioneer pre-order.

    As for the Microsoft/XBox marketing techniques, I find them quite unethical, as they give the opportunity for a black market.

    Ahahaha, that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in such a form completion.

    As I stated in the previous post, I was getting the "Unkown address" issue. Looking at the encoding set of the page yesterday, I saw iso-8859-1, which means that I cannot enter greek letters. Most likely, they'd show up as a, o, e, etc. with accents on them. The encoding would have to be UTF-8 or iso-8859-7.

    After finally being able to progress enough with DnL's form so that I register a Click&Buy account, I started typing my address in English again, in every possible combination (first street, then number, etc.). Still getting the same message, though.

    So, I tried to type my address in greek, more as a joke rather than actually expecting a result. Quite astounding, it accepted the State field in greek (we have no states, I just entered the district, and we barely ever type this in addresses in any type of form, incl. any dealings with public services), but still asked me to type city and street. After trying a few combinations in greek, I decided to type them in English. Miraculously, it worked...

    So, I had to type my district in Greek and everything else in English to work...
