its $9.90=RM27.90 for the pack So not having a Pay Pal account and a fake US address means having to pay RM 6.01 extra.
Generally 800MSP works out to about 10USD.
I'm not sure where you're getting your favourable exchange rate from. The last time i used paypal (about a month ago) the exchange rate on my credit card receipt was 0.323554 USD per MYR. So you lose about RM2.50 for that transaction which is small in the scheme of things. It's not surprising that buying from a 3rd party rather than directly from the source is going to cost more.
When i do shop with offgamers for my gamecards, i tend to pay for the 4200MSP pack which works out cheaper for me since i actually do spend on the xbox marketplace.
I realise of course that is of absolutely no help to a pc gamer who doesn't really have much use for MSP.
As a tie in to the X Games, the X Games Asia Track Pack has been released as downloadable content for DiRT 3. The DLC is 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99 USD) and available from Games for Windows Marketplace, Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.
The X Games Asia Track Pack extends DiRT 3’s Rallycross content with two multi-surface, mud-spattered circuits set in stunning Shibuya, the neon heart of Tokyo. The X Games event is playable in single player, split-screen and online multiplayer. Gamers can take on the multi-track, multi-jump and multi-surface X Games event set around the LA Coliseum and test themselves on the snow and ice of Aspen, Colorado in DiRT 3’s Winter X Games event. Codemasters is also adjusting some of the game’s online playlists to accommodate the new DLC.
Codemasters has also released a trailer celebrating the DLC's release. Check it out in the video below.
In a possible exercise of total futility, around 3 million digital codes for DiRT 3 were stolen and from an AMD server which were reserved as part of a promotion.
The codes were given away which let people enjoy DiRT 3 through Steam, although given the nature of how this all works the codes are likely easy to trace.
Ultimately this 'free ride' of Codemasters' DiRT 3 could lead to quite a few Steam bans as Valve and AMD hunt down those connected to the theft. It could get complicated however if people start claiming they were duped into buying a 'legitimate' digital copy.
At the least Steam should be able to easily disable the copies.
As you may have heard (or even seen advertised at the top of this very website), AMD has been running a promotion to give out free copies of Codemasters' racing game DiRT 3 with the purchase of a DirectX 11-capable product. The problem is, the third-party company hired to handle the distribution of these games in the form of codes redeemable on Steam stored them all in an unsecured SQL database easily accessible on their website, www.amd4u.com.
As you might imagine, it was only a matter of time before some sneaky individual came along and figured this out, pilfering the list of keys and leaking them everywhere they possibly could. Needless to say, if you've seen anyone online giving out free Steam copies of DiRT 3 lately, there's a 99% chance they were part of the illegally-obtained lot. In all likelihood, Valve will be invalidating all of these keys and possibly suspending the associated Steam accounts as per their terms of service. Those that legitimately obtained a voucher from AMD will no doubt be taken care of, however inconvenient of a process it may be.
