just did a quick pricecheck from another online site which will deliver a boxed copy to my door on (or before if possible) the release date...

for $40 AU

steam can shove it.

sorry had to vent the rage.

so, fallout las vegas ups its price beyond ridiculous... i'm positive i'll be able to buy it in the stores cheaper than steam's online price. go figure, an instore purchase cheaper than an online download version.

Possibly, but with the warning up front I don't think anyone's actually stupid enough to enter their details there :P

The hackers are now trying to use sex to sell their links - user "}seXy{ niKKi" is spamming "ur cute! <3 is that really u?", same link as below.

The steam is proud to present free games for steam

Yeh we arent blaming Steam, we are blaming the publishers who create unfair prices on Steam: 1) Charged in US dollars 2) Charged more for the same product, digital distribution should be cheaper as there are no transport and logisitc costs, no cost to print disks etc...

Don't blame Valve, don't blame Steam, Valve set the prices for their own games and no-one elses and Steam is just a distribution mechanism. Blame the publishers and (**rumour alert**) the retail stores that pressure said publisher to rip us Aussies off.

I can order a physical copy of Super Street Fighter IV from the UK, ship it half way across the world, and get it a few days after release for $37.90 - if i walk into a local store it's a minimum $79 (JB)..

Something wrong there?

Oh and the publisher/manufacturers solution - lock the software to the hardware by region locking so that I HAVE to pay the $79 and not the $39.. The local distributors aren't ripping us off (I've seen how much they pay to get them from the manufacturers).. so why is a US company thinking it's okay to charge $50 usd for a game from US citizens but $50 usd is not enough for someone from outside of the states..

..because they can?
..because we let them..

We need to fight this region locking bullcrap - if i order a book from the united states and ship it over i can still read it - why should games be any different (lets not get started on ebooks.. *shudder*)
