Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like Direct2Drive has blocked local IP addresses, most of the games are only available in the USA. Sorry about the inconvenience folks.<\/p>\n

Original<\/strong><\/p>\n

Easily one of the greatest benefits of having uncapped internet is that you can buy games from digital distribution networks such as Steam, Impulse and loads more, not to mentioned Xbox Live and PSN for console gamers. <\/p>\n

A prime example of when this comes in particularly handy is right now, with Direct2Drive announcing their catalogue for the fourth week of their spring sale. <\/p>\n

That’s some pretty epic gaming at some seriously tempting prices. I have highlighted the games I think are worth checking out if you don’t already own them. <\/p>\n

Remember, Direct2Drive<\/a> is a digital distribution service, which means you need a Visa\/Mastercard in order to pay online, and then an internet connection to download each game. Many of these game require relatively large data transfers to download, so make sure you take bandwidth costs into account before buying. <\/p>\n

The special ends on May 9, and if you spend $75 (R560) or more, you will get $15 (R110) back to spend on other Direct2Drive until June 8. <\/p>\n
