    I feel like punching the screen every time I fire up Steam now. €59.99 for that for <b>PC</b>? You must be joking. Give me my mods and dedicated servers and I'll think about it. Knock down the price €20-€30 and I'll think about it seriously.

    I might want to have one of you Americans buy me the game as a gift, that would avoid the extra price right?
    And then paypal you the money or something similar.

    €59.99! What, do they want to increase the pirate population or something? +€10.00 is too much for the "convenience" of not having to go to a store!

    At <a href="http://www.dimensionplus.nl/bestellen/PC-Windows/Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2/750647" target="_blank">Dimension Plus</a> it goes for the "normal" price of €49.99

    Usually new PC games are between €29.99 and €49.99, The latest console games on the other hand go for at least €54.99 and up...

    I'm not quite sure about that one. Everybody says that Torchlight is $20, but I'm seeing it at €16 on Steam (which is still higher than the €13.4 that $20 comes out to, but that could be Denmark's 25% VAT). Can somebody with prices in dollars tell us what Torchlight costs on Steam?

    It's kind of on topic; it's why nobody from UWE is up for some MW2 Co-op. Perhaps when Steam stops charging more than retail stores, it'll start to be viable.

    For example, today Steam shows MW2 at £39.99:
    I can buy it from Tesco (For anyone non-UK, a huge retail chain, much like Wal-Mart) for £29.99.
    Play.com are also an online operation, but additionally need to go through stocking & shipping me a retail copy, they're selling for £34.99.
    Amazon.co.uk - £29.70

    This. Makes. No. Sense.

    Shockwave what you just did there was what I did recently to ISPs and why I moved from one to another. Why pay more for less is what you're getting at, right?

    feesable?

    edit: Also, is it possible for me to play the singleplayer of MW2 with this almost dial-up slow connection that I'm stuck with until the 18th? I know it sounds odd, but I have heard something about steam needing to download a lot of files first. (That is even if I bought it at a store).

    In the literal sense indeed, but I think our UWE board overlords meant off-topic/none NS related. But why am I trying to rectify a joke...

    Nevermind then, I'll be over here with the others not discussing Call of Duty:Mech Warrior 2

    from what i understand, if you buy it at a retail store it still runs through steam. so if you don't want to pay extra on steam, then buy it at the retail store. i don't see why you would choose not to buy it solely because you can get it cheaper than on steam.

    Prices in Europe are usually VAT included. Which means that (normally) $20+tax ~ 20€.Then again this is normally, and seeing the USD/EUR rate, Europe is still more expensive.
