Looking for compatible DVD-version of FO3 GOTY

Post by HamUnDo » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:00 pm

I´m currently looking for an uncut DVD version of FO3 GOTY ... I already have a DVD, but unfortunately it´s a German version ... and even worse ... censored ...


Afaik there are two versions on sale in US/Canadian region ... but which one would be the right ?


1. UPC 5050740025943


2. UPC x093155129696


Mine has the UPC 0093155121973 ... so I assume No 2 is censored as well ... Can anyone tell me, which one is the uncut English version of FO3 GOTY ?


I asked before in the chat ... and  a different thread ... they suggested Steam ... but Steam won´t work, as there is only a censored version available for Germany ... using a proxy might trick the server in the beginning ... but my internet is to slow ... I would get a forced disconnect before the download is complete ==> ramdonly altered IP ==> failed/aborted download ...


Who has a working DVD version of FO3 GOTY ? What is its UniversalProductCode (=the number below the barcode on the back of the games case) ?


THX in advance

Are there no more suggestions on working UPCs ? What about the Austrian version ... can anyone approve, it works with TTW ... what is its UPC ?


I learned, that x0915512xxxx does not mean, it´s definitely censored ... but some more examples of working disk versions would be helpful ...


EDIT : What about you purchase FO3 GOTY at Steam as a gift for me ? I would pay you in advance (PayPal) ... Would I get the (uncut) version you bought ? Or would it be the "official" (censored) version for Germany ?

I would assume that it would be the German version. Steam is pretty good about things like that. The worst part is, anyone who sends an uncut version to you would actually be breaking the law.


Ask Sesom, a member here who is German, TTW works for him, so I wonder what the trick is.

Sesom is actually Austrian and Austria doesn't have the same restrictions as Germany.

Just as I feared ... even if I get a key for the uncut version ... Steam would only allow a censored version for a "German IP" ... and purchasing the uncut version from a foreign (online)shop would break the law ... so I was really lucky that I got the Austrian FNV in a Berlin store ...

I meant German-speaking, knew he was Austrian, but yeah, that's too bad. Have you tried using a proxy?
