The digital version of STO is down to $2.50 on Amazon . I tested the STO key on a fresh account and it did come with the Borg BO

3rd update: It looks like the 5.00 DD version includes the following pre order items and 500 Cstore points.
Steam Chromodyanic Armor
Best Buy Tribble
Best Buy Targ Pup
It worked for me a few others in the thread. 6.25 worth of Cstore points plus all the bonus items for 5 bucks makes this a awesome deal.

EDIT: This is the correct link to the $2.50 Digital D/L version, the above is for the boxed game for $7.

I'll try it right now to prove to you....
Wrong. I bought the standard STO, got a free month. Then bought the Collector's edition, got another free month. My next subscription charge will be in February.
yeah they do. I just bought that one and the target one for 999 the other day
EDIT: Ok it kind of works. You are only allowed ONE type of each: meaning only ONE retail, + ONE Collectors, + ONE Digital Deluxe = stacked. But you can't have TWO digital retails (atleast from same vendor)So I have an extra retail key now if anyone wants it, PM me.
Still got an extra month for $2.50 isn't bad!
OK 2nd EDIT: Just bought the Amazon Digital Deluxe edition and that one DOES stack, I am good now till Jun 2011. So it appears only one of the digital retail and digital deluxe will stack PER vendor.
So you can get TWO months right now with Amazon buy buying the digital retail and the Digital Deluxe for $7.50.
you made my night thank you :-)
Indeed it does. I got 500 points with it. I had 540 left over from before (now 1040), so I think I'll pick up that NX since I'm going to start all over.
Karma for what they charge for some of the C-store stuff.
I expect they'll fix it quickly though. Possibly with removal of months past some certain amount.
Not that it really matters to me, lifetime subscriber and all.
Actually I also got 500 points too. I thought it might have been a fluke so I didn't mention it.
So that means the 5 buck DD version actually gives you 6.25. Its an xmas miracle.
Now if the physical box was down to that, I might just buy it so I have something that I can burn and cathartically desecrate its ashes...
So much for getting a holo tribble and BO...
Grrrrr!
What? NOOOO
oh and:
Do you want to give that to me :P
Ill give you a bottle of Chateu Picard!
Wait. I've got a question. If I fund an US friend of mine to buy it and he gives me the key, it will work, right?
(I'm from Europe)
It should do seeing as all you need is the referral key which they can give to you once they'vre bought it
Game time has stacked since the beginning of Champions Online. I felt ripped off as a lifetime subscriber when I saw the game for 99p on Amazon. I don't see this changing. I mean, I recently bought a copy of STO on Steam as I wanted it on there, but why shouldn't I get my 30 days of play?
Im only a few months old to the game,
i was totally going to buy the deluxe version as a physical copy but i was so eager to start playing after my trial ended i went and bought the standard version off cryptic (which i later discoverd was literally the most expensive way to pay for the game and get no added bonus :P )
Would happily reimburse any US users via paypal or whatever if they could grab me a key, obviously thats a total grey area net issue but i believe star trek fans are better bunch than most, no problems with cash-first for the fronter :P
Off to spend my christmas on ESD
Actually, it only takes one to suscribe for you to get the BO. With five you get the Gal-X.
thank you :P
Just attempted to buy this with my UK amazon account even thought it is US only, it signed in fine then made me re-add my card, it also required me to set a US billing address - i literally just put my UK address instead, for the state box i picked a random state:P
and hey presto - purchase succesful!
added my key and got all the digital deluxe items + 500 c-points + 1 month playtime credited
also a nice bonus! :
Steam Chromodyanic Armor
Best Buy Tribble
Best Buy Targ Pup
no idea why those 3 also came with the amazon version, but im happy!
I just got the Digital Deluxe Version also... $5.40 with tax.
Whoo-peeee...
I got all the things on the list above as well as the TAC-Console "Automated Defense Turret"
same here
Yeah, I figure this is the easiest way for people to refer them self's to earn the Holo BO. The Digital STO is 2.50 + 15 month sub - 400 Cstore points referral bonus = 12.50
Not bad if you really want that holo BO, holo tribble, and two titles.
