Umm, just wondering if i can purchase Sam & Max full season with my Visa electron? Never really ordered anything from outside Finland :)

I think so. Visa is one of the supported credit cards.

Are you certain? In the list of supported cards (https://drhadmin.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/SiteImplementation/ttg/ttgSI/version/11/images/cc_mc_en_US.gif) the Visa Electron logo isn't included. Please take a look at this Wikipedia site about Visa Electron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Electron). If it however is possible to pay with it, then perfect, because I don't own any credit card. Just a Visa Electron. And I really want to buy Sam and Max now that you great guys from Telltale have released it - as opposed to that fan deceiving Lucasarts. I played the demo and it rocks ;)

Funny coincidence, by the way, I am Finnish too :D

The best suggestion I can make is to try it. If it doesn't work, obviously, you won't be charged any money, so it's worth a shot. If it auths like a regular Visa, it should work fine.

Payment Authorization Failed

Too bad. As I suspected, it didn't work. Seems like I'll have to live without Sam and Max unless I can pay with something else than credit card :(

You can create a Paypal (http://www.paypal.com)-account, and then transfer money from your bank-account to that, and use it to pay for the game. :)

Funny coincidence indeed, heh :p well, if it doesn't work i'll just have to think of something else then. Paypal or just give the money to a person who owns a proper credit card and ask him to buy it for me :) Thanks for help!

I created a Paypal account, but I didn't find any options for transferring money from my bank account, just for credit cards. When I went to my bank and asked about it, they said there is no such possibility :(

Maybe there is something we missed? Have you or someone else done it the same way?

Ingo, what country are you in? PayPal's bank account option is not available in all countries.

Do you have any plans of releasing Sam and Max in common stores when all the episodes are done? It would be great if I could order the game from CDON (http://www.cdon.com) or something

The game might show up in stores but it hasn't been decided yet.

Here in the UK I was able to buy season 1 with my Visa Electron through paypal (also used with ebay). I cant think of any reason why you wouldnt be able to since payapl is an international service, isn't it?

PayPal is international but their policies are different from country to country.
