hey guys, i want to get GTA4 which costs just 9.99usd and the offer valid for another 5 more hours. But umm.. I kinda dont have any online banking account. If Im not mistaken, there is someone could help people who is kinda in my situation? Or could anyone help me? I really want it. since its cheap.
Or, you guys think that its better for me to wait for another hour just to see the new year's promo?

QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Jan 1 2012, 12:38 AM) If u really want it just buy it. Ask talexeh, deimos and other lyn that provide steam service. They can help you buy and ask for Rm5 service charge only QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Jan 1 2012, 12:42 AM) GTA 4 is the main game. GTA 4 CE is basically a standalone expansion hey, thanks for replying. so, GTA 4 CE is better than GTA 4 am I rite? and GTA 4 episodes from Liberty City is an expansion from GTA 4 ?

QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Jan 1 2012, 12:49 AM) Yea it is expansion for gta 4. I dunno which is better. You play as different main character and story too.. The only similarity between them i can think of is the city oh i see.. ive had my eye on gta franchise for a loong time just that didnt have a proper platform to play on. I think i'll just get the GTA 4. It costs under $5.. pretty cheap!  I'll try to contact the names uve given to see how can I work this out. Thanks again.  My first purchase!

QUOTE(TiF @ Jan 1 2012, 02:21 AM)  ok, bought liao, going to be my very first racing game  its easy to navigate. You'll be competing in different countries and stages with variety of cars. Imagine you are a pro driver and signed to a sponsor and you'll get rewarded each time your goal is achieved. I do agree its the best racing game from CM. They dont include rally since DiRT is already out there.

sup guys.
got my dvds for Grid from Deimos today.
Now, currently trying to backup the game file. At the moment, the progress stuck at "Preparing GRID files for install..."
And in the progress bar, nothing is moving.. except the dots after the word install. Is there any faster way of installing game?
