Half-Life 2 EP1 - Steam and Credit Cards

ARGGGGGGG!

I've been trying to buy this for the last two days, i've used two different credit cards and it keeps telling me that they fail due to Address verification Failure even though i've used both cards online loads of times with no problems and i've checked the addresses.

I then go onto the steam forums and catch a glimpse of a thread with 2 posts, the first by a guy asking about this issue and the second by a moderator saying that the State/Provice tab should not be filled in if your outside the US or Canada.

I then goto try this and guess what - its a required field - so i go back to the forums only to find out what the hell he's on about and in the five seconds that it took me to check this the forums go down.

BAR STEWARDS!

Why cant i just buy this out a frikkin shop.

Moan over!

My Visa Debit Card worked fine? Not sure whats wrong with it, alotugh i have heard of problems with it before, maybe a retail copy would be easier?

It is good though!

Hmmm, bloody thing, well - i have alternative methods of getting it now by the look of a few of these posts so i might just get it that way instead.

Ruddy annoying though.

Thanks Folks

Or theres www.mx2.co.uk

I've never actually tried using steam to buy the game, though I did think about it a few weeks ago, when the pre-orders went live on steam.

Changed my mind and bought it off the Internet instead.
