Bought Hitman Absolut yesterday. I never knew that the game is restricted base on continent. Its showing as Hitman (Asia) but since Im currently working here in Dubai, steam tells me that I cant play/install it outside Asia. Hopefully steam support will help me resolve the issue.

Oh yeah, heads up:

Those of you with PS3s and PS+ probably shouldn't buy Sleeping Dogs as it will be free on the PSN (with PS+) and is best played with a controller anyway.

Thanks for the input, bough it half an hour before the sale ended. Gonna try it out tonight.

saw DMC on giant bomb for a lovely $20...

a site called direct 2 drive? googled it and apparently it's legit.

anyway...here it is

The site you linked to is called Direct2Play; Direct2Drive is another digital distribution service that got absorbed into Gamefly. I've never seen this site before, but it looks like it has some pretty good deals.

...Argh, dammit! Just yesterday I bought Borderlands 2 from Amazon.com, and now I see it's €7 cheaper on this site. Wasted opportunity.

Just a heads up, that site isn't Direct2Drive. I remember them and reading about it now it looks like they were bought out. This is a different site and looks a little odd...

oh yeah apologies...mind went blank as I was writing down the name of the site...

looks a little iffy for sure...thought i'd just mention it anywhoo...

Public Transport? Your character just arrives everywhere he needs to be in cutscenes? Personal drivers?

Drivable rickshaws! Ninja teletransportation!
Keep up with the theme.

Dark Souls for $16 on GMG with the voucher....I shouldn't I really shouldn't goddammit.

So guys... can someone help me smuggle that Microsoft 5 game pack? http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-5-Ga...9503115&sr=1-2
I will give you ITSP and Toy Soldiers keys

You don't need anyone to smuggle it.

Create Amazon account.
Add postal address at Anchorage, Alaska.
Add your credit card details, regardless of what entity issued the card (works on my Spanish card).

Success!!

Portuguese card here, worked with Facebook's address.

If you're worried about using a fake US address - get a real one, for free, from somewhere like Borderlinx

Just make sure that's your delivery address - it will pickup your 'proper' card address and it should work AOK

Note: I had trouble getting Dark Souls via this method - but I picked-up Iron Brigade (the only of these games I don't own) AOK last night

Does anyone have any thoughts on Asguaard? It's on GMG for $2.99 ($2.40 after discount). I was a bit shocked to see that the RRP was $28.99. I thought it was a mistake/scam at first, but it's the same from the developer. It's quite a lot for an RPG maker game from -09, IMO. Anyway, I already bought it, but does anyone have any experience from it? User reviews are quite enthusiastic.

erm - what's wrong with DMC that in the week after it's release, it's already dirt-cheap???

£12.99 seems VERY cheap for a less-than-a-week-old game!?!?

Simply games are CD Keys only, so it could be from eastern europe

The retail keys of DMC seem to be without the RU-CIS region restriction so this is probably why. DMC is approximately 16 pounds on RU Steam, Russian key-sites sell keys for around 8 pounds.

Rayman Oranges is £5 over on Game's download service.

Has anyone used it before. Do they give you a key for another service? Horrible download manager or anything like that? I would search the thread but sadly the name of the company is less than useful in that regard.

If it hasn't been updated since I bought Mass Effect years ago from them then the following was my experience

1) The downloads are in links and broken up. In my case I got five files, four for data and one to install the program.
2) They didn't give me a key for any other service.
3) The key they gave me is limited to five activations. I don't know if this can be reset.
