South African Rand coming to steam on 10 November

[Mister 44]

What some companies do is that they increase the price just before a sale and then have a big percentage off. There's a sale coming Wednesday. This is speculation though and may not be the case here.

*edit*
I see it happened before the last big sale too:

Why don't you just use your card on Steam directly? If you have access to PayPal them I'm assuming you already have a credit or cheque account. Unless you're with Capitec?

I'm with Capitec and have no issues with steam purchases using my debit card.

Wasn't sure if they would work. I need to get myself a Capitec debit account, those things are badass. My current FNB debit card is practically useless online.

Yeah you need to activate it at the bank but its like a 10 min process to setup your 3D secure password etc. Totally worth it.


Also, lols at this $ to R conversion. http://store.steampowered.com/app/345090/

Cause then I would have to bring money into SA via FNB and pay tax on it.

Wait, so you're not currently located in SA? If you aren't, then get Steam support to move you into the region you're currently in.

Or am I misunderstanding?
