Yeah. We get shafted cause we're supposedly in the australasia region. Which has restrictions on the sale of games like GTA4. *sigh*

@ Neo. Lol, was just waiting for an opportune time to buy it. Like now :p

We're in with the Europeans actually. If they considered us in the Australia region, we would have been really stuffed and been getting censored game versions.

Try this:
http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us

That's how I got my GTA4 purchase from steam done, they might have fixed it though.

Ah yeah, thats right. When steam was originally started, we were in the Australasia region, even the server browser picked up aussie/nz servers. Changed it a long while back though...

Incidentally, that link works for me :D Thanks! :D
 
Just bought the THQ complete pack, Eidos collectors pack and the UT pack. $140 for like 20 games. Bargain! Hope the server is up and operating soon, very keen to d/l these games :)

*edit*

If you include the expansion packs, its actually 44 games... For $140. Awesome :D

yep. that's a clear win win deal- if you have $140 :D. i'm watching their daily specials too :)
 
10.5gb of d/l later, and my arkham asylum is only sitting at 80% complete. This server can't arrive quickly enough... :(
 
Hmm, I've got a website hosted by Web Africa - wonder if I will be allowed to use this??

Fingers crossed
 
The prepaid option is very well priced considering the benefits you will get.

Right you are - was browsing through the different packages, the prepaid looks good - now the small matter of having a line installed etc etc :)
 
Wonder when this is going to go live. Am getting anxious myself. I would assume this is also a method of limiting piracy, as downloading an 8 gig file is R560 from Webafrica, plus its illegal.

Good move WA
