Assassin's Creed PC

WTF?! Far Cry 2 (today' sale, supposedly 50% off) is over 33 dollars over here, on Steam. Twice as expensive as in the States. They can go fuck themselves for all I care.

Europe has been singled out for higher prices.  I think everywhere else gets American prices by default.

We used to as well. It was awesome to buy in dollars these last few years.
The result of this ridiculous switch to euro pricing is simple: I'm not buying from them anymore. I've already ogled a nice Polish site that will sell you serials for Steam games (several guys in the Spanish EUOT have bought L4D from them).

I'm not sure about Polish games, but in general be careful buying serial keys on the internet, especially Valve games.  Some games are region specific.  A lot of people bought thai serial keys for Orange Box, and were surprised to find out they couldn't play it in their country.  I guess it really only applies to online games though, other games would have no idea where you are.

Oh boo fuckin' hoo. I still get my ass raped by the exchange rate.

I know. I wouldn't do it if it wasn't for all those people who are playing L4D without problems. Maybe Steam doesn't discriminate between different Euro countries.

The weekend deal is not bad 4 Games (Beyond Good & Evil, Far Cry, Dark Messiah & IL2:1946) for 9.99$

Yup. I already have BG&E on PS2 (fantastic game, btw) but the other three are interesting enough to warrant $10. That means Ubi got me for four out of five of these deals (didn't bite on the new Prince of Persia). Garbon's right, I'm addicted to shopahol.

I am very tempted by the Prince of Persia pack.  Sigh.  Too bad I already have The Sands of Time.
