Could you place the Permalink in your OP for @
sensualshakti's comment for visibility? Thank you very much, Cheers~

They said the same thing for me (Canada) on the store page but I still got the restricted key.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it's the lock that sensualshakti described.
To be clear, they said on the store page "No restriction" but I can't even activate the key they gave me. I'm waiting for support to replace it with something that can be activated here.

According to Gothemasticator they received both the restricted key and the unrestricted ones. I guess I've just been unlucky.

I got:
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle - restricted
Below those three was another set of keys for:
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Armored Dracula DLC
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Relic Rune DLC
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Dark Dracula DLC
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Revelations DLC
The bottom set of keys I could activate on my US account.
Are you saying you did not receive the bottom set of keys at all?
Comment has been collapsed.
I got 1 key for "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle", but it activated me the base game and all the 3 dlc.

"Thank you for your patience while we looked into this.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide this extra content as we do not have a functional key for your region. This has now also been removed from the pack that our US customers are receiving, as this was unintentionally included.
Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment, please let us know if we can assist further."

Castlevania: Bloodlines, Super Castlevania IV, Rondo of Blood (PC Engine), and the Japanese version of Castlevania III (Akumajo Densetsu) were amazing.
The last game mentioned above used a special sound chip, not available for the NA/EU versions, amplifying the amazing soundtrack to the player.

@Ruhenot
Beg to differ if you allow yourself to enjoy re-imaginings. These are not perfect games, but Lords of Shadow 1 is nevertheless a great 40-hour journey, and Mirror of Fate a very fun 2D-with-3D-elements Vania. I could not really get into Lords of Shadow 2 though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I respect your opinion, but I just can't agree. I 100%'ed Mirror of Fate and it was one of the worst experiences I've had.
But you're right, everybody should try it out for themself, but there are so many good classic ones one could play first...
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. One of the benefits of these games on deep offer is that it is relatively painless if they turn out to be disappointing. I did like the gameplay of Mirror of Fate enough to want to 100% it, story could have been better rounded off. What was your beef with the game?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a bit annoying that they provide you with a Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle key if you're not in a region where you can activate it. I hope their support won't take too long to replace that key with the proper ones for my region.
Comment has been collapsed.
Already an extra keys are included in the package. Read the first post

Nope, I only got only the region restricted key that I can't activate in my country.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just got it. Included both a region restricted key for the digital bundle and a bunch of separate keys for the base game plus extras that was not region locked.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I guess I've just been unlucky then. (Maybe they screwed up country detection.)
I'll wait for their support to straighten things out.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would prefer that minor inconvenience over getting the Digital Bundle that doesn't include the Revelations dlc :p

My email contains;
For activation instructions, please click here.
PLEASE NOTE: US customers will be unable to redeem Castlevania LOS Bundle code currently, due to Konami restrictions. US Customers will receive a separate order containing the Bundle keys on purchase.
Does Canada fall under the US region for these kind of restrictions?
Comment has been collapsed.
"We're sorry, but this game is not available in your region."
Yup still not available

Well, guess I'll give up, already have both MGS V anyway from gamesplanet.uk for £5.79 (next time it became £4.99, and now it have 3 games and cheaper, I think I'm a fool....). only want Revengance and have seen it can be activated in my region and gib the rest on my cake day soon, but seems it won't happen.

I saw it on here in the past: https://m.facebook.com/notes/littleojisan-online-shop/apa-itu-region-locked-apa-bedanya-dengan-purchase-restricted/2064924517070096/

But looking at their discussion on the latest post, seems like it doesn't work anymore. Sorry to mislead you.

Castlevania appears to be out of stock
Back in stock! I just purchased 1126AM EST

Didn't someone recently quote the Steam TOS, where it says, the publisher/developer has to offer the same deal on the Steam site within a reasonable time?
Or was that only about feeebies?
(I think the context were the Humble Bundle giveaways, where you had to collect stamps)
Comment has been collapsed.
Holy cow I thought it was a deal like -80% but it's their base price, and it's cheap even here in Brazil. Holy cow. Added the Metal Gear to my favorites to check it out later. Hopefully they restock their keys.
