We have gift credit cards like gift visas in the states.  Surely you have those in the EU?  Just get one with a hundred dollars (or I guess it's x many Euros for you) on it, pay an activation fee, and spend.  I think it would work.  Just would have to know you aren't being billed until they are shipping it to you, so don't go spend it and not have enough money on the card for when they are going to bill you.

To answer to those things regarding me previously..I did not get any email of the sort, however in the impulse store after my purchase I did get my receit number or however it's called, and it did tell me to save that page or print it and if I have any questions to talk to [email protected]. I sent them an email and now waiting for a response but I am sure I did not get any email on the address that I ordered at, unless that last part of the buying process was some form of email, but it did not keep it in my inbox or anything.

If I preorder from Amazon, will I be able to DL(build 0 was it?) early as well? I notice that Amazon is offering $10 off if you preorder from them.

Walmart isn't even listing the game yet they are listed at the preorder page up top.

No, as you won't have the key to register until your box arrives.

Ah that solves it. Congratulations Stardock, this is the first game in a long time which I have trouble counting the days till release.

May your company live long and prosper! 

You might look into something like paypal that will allow you to have a credit card without acutally having one. They connect to your bank account and provide the card functionality vitrallly. Great for web purchases. I am sure that many such services are availble like Paypal.

Good luck,.

AMEX has a pre Buy card that works like that.

Try the site, or grab a Visa or Master Card Gift card that cover the amount.

Hi.

I pre-ordered the game from Italy.

I used a pre-payed card. You can get one from your bank or post-office and use it like a normal credit-card. The only difference is that you can put money on it with an internet banking account and use it to buy products on internet.

I use to "load" the card with the exact amount of money it's required to buy a game.

This way i'm sure tha card is always empty after i've purchased something.

Common european pre-payed card system are Matser Card or Visa-Electron.

Regards

Looking at the pre-order button up top, I see Gamestop, Amazon and Walmart as the places to pre-order the game besides stardock itself. I've seen the one from Gamestop and Amazon but Walmart is still blank. It's down to just four more days till the game is out and the exposure from being listed on Walmart is absent, just saying.
