I have a favour to ask... a zombie-related favour

My gaming cohort has started playing L4D again, and it has piqued our interest in L4D2. I've no doubt that Valve will run a cut-price promo around the release of the new "The Sacrifice" DLC, so we're planning on grabbing it then.

The only problem? We're Australian. We don't want to end up with the censored version.

I would very much like for one of you fine people in non-censored-games-land to volunteer to recieve some dollars via paypal and gift the 4-player bundle pack to moi.

Any takers?

    Scythe your government doesn't deem you mature enough to handle the graphic content of L4D2. Who are you to argue otherwise?

    Who are we, mere *citizens* of *other countries* to argue?

    Who says we know better than the <b>AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT</b>?!?!?!?!?!?!


    Perhaps you should just obey the law and accept that they know best.

    Btw, does anyone else find it mildly humorous that they used to censor games by turning them into zombie games? Now they're just censoring the zombie games.

    I can always help out if needed Scythe (but I demand to be paid the full AUS price. I am sure it's pointlessly twice as expensive :D). Welcome to the fun!

    If you need any help with your highly illegal lawbreaking activities, I'm currently in Aus myself, and in possession of a non-tainted copy of both games. I'm always down for dismembering big hordes of dudes with a katana.

    Erm, wouldn't you still get the australian version anyway?

    I mean you'd be downloading it from australia, so surely you'd get the australian localisation.

    If a german friend buys me a copy of a game I don't get the german localisation presumably, so why would you get the non-australian version?

    neg it would be from country you bought it on steam, location to steam is just a variable


    I would do this simple cause you said "favour"

    In that case could one just use a foreign proxy to buy it from the steam website?

    Ridiculously good deal, one that I couldn't pass up on especially since I never got around to trying the L4D games so I grabbed the 10 dollar pack for both games and spent the past two or three hours chopping zombies with a katana.. fun fun stuff, sad the aussies have to go through the hassle of getting people out of their country to help them enjoy it in all it's glory.

    You'd also need a billing location outside your country. They cross-reference your credit card and paypal details against the details you enter when checking out.

    P.S. Due to zaglor's awesomeness, my friends and I have an uncensored version of L4D2
