Don't know if this has been mentioned earlier, but these new prices really work for me... Well, most of them. Fallout is still ridiculously priced at R799 but I finally managed to get my hands on a copy from a local retailer.
At least now, for the most part, if I decide not to pre-order a game (i.e. Just Cause 3) and it goes out of stock at the local retailers after release (or the price goes up), Steam is now actually a viable option. Alternatively if I decide to pre-order a game like JC3, the 10% discount on Steam actually means something since the local retailers also sell for R500.
This nonsense has happened to me at least twice now... Where I decided (or forgot) to pre-order a specific game and couldn't find an affordable copy of the game after release. First with Saints Row 4 where I had to wait months for retailers to get stock (or had to wait for Steam specials) and now with Fallout 4 where there is no stock and the one I found is actually more expensive than the pre-order price.
