Lol, I know what you mean. It's like me finding an original copy of Dawn of War II (full retail, not a best seller edition) on sale for R99 at Hi-Fi corp. I checked the going rate on Steam and it was a lot closer to R300 for the game. So yeah, SCORE!!! :D

The only downside is that the game has grown to double it's size since it was released so the retail disc only provided me with 3.2Gb of the total 6.6Gb that I need for this game. :eek: Good thing I have uncapped. :)

Satan, your game has arrived. It spits up blood and pisses vinegar. It sprouts horns from its head like the proud minion of evil that it is. It shoots lightning bolts, for cripes' sake. It's a game of pure evil. And even purer entertainment. It's also the best action game on the planet.

This deal is killer - wanted Quake III and Ground Zero for ages - now if Max Payne 2 would just stop appearing and disappearing off Steam the whole time :rolleyes:

Mmmm. I am contemplating getting that. But I am not sure if that is really my kind of game. I am also not sure if I want to go through the whole download thing and find my other Steam account. But at this price it is probably worth it, considering the WAGE Steam server seems to be functioning to some extent, although that is still being looked at.
 
nice try for web africa but in the end. all for nought after a certain isp dropped a bomb last month...

Hardly. Not everybody wants uncapped at that price.

Price is good value for money. Most of the big downloaders who would be interested in this freezone are likely to be interested in this uncapped offering. Uncapped gives you options, you can shop around with gamersgate,direct2drive,impulse,steam,gog,ea,atari,ect while with WA you are restricted to only steam.

Unless you can't afford uncapped there is no reason a digital purchaser is really going to be thrilled about the WA steam server anymore.
