So what are the games that are playable through steam in malaysia? Would like to know as Im thinking of subscribing to steam.... Other then CS that I know what other games that will be supported by the mac version of steam?

Oh ok... So ill have to wait till its out of beta then... Hmm its good that they are trying to make games playable on both OS (windows and OSX. Guess not long now before macs can be recommended for gaming as well but only a bunch of games =)

So which means that if we purchase games through the Steam online store, it will be playable in different regions right? I needa read up on how steam works...

So that means 2 more days it will be officially available on Mac? and growl need to be installed for those pop up notifications... Guess ill be singing up for an account soon...

Eh so during the launch on mac and there will be only 2 games available? Other game manufacturere havent made other games compatible yet? (CS, Half life, etc)

Oh ok so currently there will be only 2 rolling out tomorrow. So we will have to wait for the rest of the games to be compatible with mac. Thanks for the info..

@zidanechan haha they already did with those mac compatible drivers...Mamba/orochi/deathadder to name a few.

Guess its time to sign up and buy those games!

How much RAM does steam eat up on your mac?

Damn I needa be quick tonight to get the free portal game... still on office and have to wait after work =(

WTH.. 3.8GB... I guess Ill have to leave my macbook on for a few days then... Hmm.. Need to change my macbook settings then.. Is it possible to continue download while in Sleep condition?

Hmm turning off the monitor is the only way then.... Nvm Ill leave the charger plugged in during work and leave it to download..

Wow still so many issues for steam on Mac? Hmm... Im downloading it now... Scared to use it... LOL..

Ive just installed steam and now downloading Portal... it seems everytime I open steam, there is a pop up message stating updating steam but dont seem to be running.. I just close it and continue download portal... Hopefully there is nothing wrong with it... Cant wait to try first game on my mac.. Haha

Hmmm everyone is facing the same problem... Guess we will have to wait for an update from Steam for Mac.... Guess should be updated real soon as its kinda irritating to have the pop up box..

Ok Ill go back and try this method out.. But will this also delete my game as Im currently downloading it... Just scared after halfway downloading and uninstalling it will remove the game and I have to redownload all over again... Or is it saved in my steam account?

Hmm yea downloads are in the steam content folder... I guess I can try to leave the steam update pop up a little longer to see if it really updates.. Like ojimaru said, it maybe due to huge load of traffic causing it to be congested... Ill go back and try it out.. Hope I can finish DLing by tonight =) 3GB is hella big file

Cool info there.... Ive just finished dling portal... Going to give it a try tonight! Its quite fast for a 3GB file... I thought its going to take at least 2-3 complete days to complete

Rofl I was thinking of getting it tomorrow... Lucky I didnt purchase it yet...

Ok cool... Time to buy that game... But too bad it cant be played with other players together like diablo etc...

Rofl serious shit? Thats pretty small.... Cool 1 night should be able to finish downloading it... Btw how do you purchase the games through steam... I cant access team website in my company right now (blocked due to games website) Do they use Credit cards or by paypal?

Aha.... So even paypal they still accept eh.. Hmm then in that case we have to follow the currency exchange rate that our CC bank uses... Hmm... Im going to check to see which has the lowest exchange rate before buying...
