My friend has a Brazilian SE account and the only option available to him is C&B. He registered with C&B, verified his CC; and guess what? He can't pay for the game because he got a message stating that the service is not available to his region and that's AFTER he contacted C&B and SE. Link to thread:

Now he is blocked out of the game because SE can't seem to provide basic customer service even though they had more than a year to prepare.

NOTE: It doesn't matter what country you live in; if you buy a game/product you should expect adequate support from the company making money out of it. Unless it's explicitly advertised that it's not meant to be sold in that region.
