I tried that tor thing to buy Riddick on Steam (available in the US, not available at all elsewhere for some reason), but even though I chose Paypal, and went through a PP account that has a US address, the Steam website kept on saying ‘YOUR ADDRESS IS NOT FROM THE COUNTRY YOU ARE PURCHASING FROM’, regardless of what I set both the Steam and PP address to.

Was on a US tor server thingy too. Oh well. Shall see if I can just send the money to a ‘merican friend and have it gifted, I suppose.

That’s an incredibly useful post which I’ve now sent to half a dozen of my acquaintances. Thanks very much for that.

Oh I lied, I see the Hitman collection, (like the Commandos Collection and Conflict collections) are £10.26 – 4-5 games in those I suppose, unlike Thief, Deus ex, Broken sword and unreal stuff that only seems to pack three games.

Still a good bargain I suppose.

On the back cover of the new PCGamer (UK variant) there is a code to get 30% off all Mastertronic’s PC games – from http://www.mastertronic.com. It might be a subscriber offer only come to think of it, but maybe have a look when the new PCG hits the shelves in the next day or two – unless your a suscriber ofc.

Deus Ex Complete, Thief collection or Hitman collection for £6.84 each, to give some examples ( I have no idea if thats a good deal or not really, youre buying the box, but some you can download for the same price).

Neato, Mr biscotti. I think I will use that, but not to get a better price, but to buy games that are not available on my region.

About the 50% thq’s dawn of war in steam, It is cheaper getting the DoW platinum + soulstorm + DoW 2 separately than the full pack, about 5€ cheaper

It’s very solid in single player and co-op, and also has the absolutely marvelous progressive mode which is single-player only I believe. The AI is quite good, and it’s a fantastic game. If you’re a fan of space 4X, definitely pick it up at this ridiculously low price.

99 cents? You couldn’t even make it an even dollar? Jesus Christ.

If you look at the price, L4D2 isn’t on the sale, that sale price is the preorder one that’s been up for a few weeks now.

I used Tor to grab those free EA games last week off the UK EA store while I was in Spain. I also used it to check out Steam et al. You’re right, you need to connect to Steam through your web browser and you need to use Paypal but it works a treat for me. I wrote a brief guide on how to do it if interested.

I fully appreciate that it might be bad form to post such information on a high profile gaming blog. I don’t know the legality of it. Anyway, delete as necessary Senors Adminos.
