Hopefully this will be up and running within the next few days
Can't wait :D.Quote:

Now how perfect is this. Steam has a MASSIVE sale, and WA provides the local content server :D
See this thread for steam sale details: http://www.prophecy.co.za/forums/top...ve-steam-sale/
Just got the THQ and UT complete packs :D
Can this really be true? Orb finally got himself a copy of UT? :eek: Lolz
wtf steam has region shit. offs...... point- no gta4 then :mad:
Yeah. We get shafted cause we're supposedly in the australasia region. Which has restrictions on the sale of games like GTA4. *sigh*Quote:

Has WA set up the steam thing already?
Not yet...Quote:

Exactly what I intend to do :).Quote:

Still now ETA on their part
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.Quote:

That's how I got my GTA4 purchase from steam done, they might have fixed it though.
Bought Torchlight for $4.99 on Steam yesterday :D. Now all I need is the content server to go live :).
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...Quote:

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 :)Quote:

Got to say so aswell. Hurry up Webafrica, pls pls... lol:)Quote:

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
only dsl packages except IS ones.Quote:

The prepaid option is very well priced considering the benefits you will get.:DQuote:

R19 for one gig local saix, and I got freezone! :D
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
You guys should stop buying games till these servers are live
Why whats the diffs?
