Fans of strategy games!
Windows is selling Age of Empires 3 for only TEN CENTS!

$.10 USD!

It's outrageous!

Check it out

To prove the legit-ness, i just purchased it.

I admit, it takes like 15 minutes to do all the signups, unless you have an x-box live account/card set up already, but IMO it's completely worth it.

Cool. I don't even like AOE3, and I bought it :P
For those with Xboxes, you probably have 10 MS Points lying around. You can also pay for the game with those.

I bought it but it needs SP3! Microsoft just got ten cents! Well played, well played indeed.

Well now it'll go in my ever growing collection of titles for my future computer :P

Started installing it and it asked for a product key. When I checked the "Game Keys" section of the clunky GFWL interface it said AOE3 has "no keys assigned."
So you're paying $0.10 for the privilege of downloading the game, then not being able to install it.

try logging into the microsoft site and checking for your purchased game information.
Direct2Drive has a similar way of business.

In the long run
it's only 10c


Go back to your games for windows marketplace, right click on AOE3, and hit view product keys.. should be right there!

"No keys assigned."

I'm promising we don't have keys. :P

There's nothing in your emails- like account activation or anything?
I'd say next step is contacting support, ugh now i feel bad making you guys go through all that freakin work for nothin

At first I was like "Why not?". And then I saw GFWL.

Contacted support. I'll let you guys know if they come back with a decent solution.

It was a bit awkward.
"I know it was only 10p, but..."

"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."

Steam-like application, from Microsoft? Pass. Now, if it were 10c for a hard copy of it, I might consider such a purchase...
