Buying the cheap Russian version of MW3 when you live in the US

Care to explain why it wouldn't work?

Well, I tried it and I almost got it to work. Only problem is you need a way to pay with Webmoney or Yandex. Pretty sure it's possible.

I just used a random Russian proxy, not even a VPN.
Went to store.steampowered.com and made a new account and verified the email.
Added MW3 to cart, at this point it still says $59.99 for price.
Choose PURCHASE AS A GIFT and gift it to the email of your real Steam account.
Fill out the bullshit gift card notes.
Choose Webmoney or Yandex and check the box that says "I verify that I live in Russian Federation"
The price will be 899 rubles, which equates to $29.4428. (I was wrong about it being $16 for Russians, must have been a diff country, maybe Belarus)

It won't work if you choose Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or ClickAndBuy unless you have a card issued in Russia from a Russian/Euro bank.

I am gonna fuck around more with Webmoney and Yandex later today.

could u make a vid plz

EDIT: nvm i used a belarus vpn and it said $30 which is 21 euros

Not sure if serious or sarcastic.

ive just modified the post lol XD

also will it work if u pay with paysafe or paypal?

Steam doesn't give you an option to pay with Paysafe or Paypal if you are on Russian IP.
Does Steam give you the option to pay with Paysafe and Paypal when you are on Belarus IP?

it gave me paypal

Try it. You won't actually pay until you see the total amount and confirm it.

I doubt it will work with Paypal though because your address on Paypal won't be in Belarus.

Can you let me use your Belarus VPN so I can try it?

sorry its one that u pay for and its my friends

NP
Just let me know if paying with Paypal worked.

I still would like an explanation as to why it was a dumb fucking idea.
From what I've tried so far, it's entirely possible. All I need to do is load money into a Webmoney account by either a bank transfer or Paypal to WM transfer.

I live in Russia, could help with the purchase, I have webmoney, visa and paypal. skype i444866
