    After all, all Valve said they were going to do was convert the money in your wallet - they didn't actually say the whole store would be in Rand from today.
    I actually checked just before 8 and thought I should post it rather than try to remember! $2.63, since I did.. forget...

    Something seems to be happening... PayPal (amongst others) is no longer available as a payment option for me at checkout.

    (I'm sure it'll come back when the changeover is finished.)

    Disappointing, well I'm going to sleep. Maybe it'll be there when I wake up.

    From what I've seen the store prices are more readily changed.

    It's done now.

    Looks like a direct dollar to rand conversion.

    EDIT: Nope. Not directly. But more than ($ X 14.27) - more like ($ X 15.14). And it's not nearly enough for 14% tax.

    In fact everything (I looked at) is cheaper than direct Google conversion.

    Edit: Also don't know if this is because of Steam update or if its gonna stay that way, but loads of games "buy option" disappeared. Example Maia, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Grey Goo, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege, some Lego titles and so on, most noticeable on my wishlist....

    PCars is more. This is what I did the above conversion on.

    Looks like the new titles converts back to $56 instead of $59.99
