Best part of Amazon is that they tend to price match their games prices a lot if not lower whatever other services are having sales.

Don't really bother with CoD titles sales. Unless you have special discounts like coupons. Most of their titles despite a year or two old are still sold like new releases.

The only exception is the sales for MW2 on amazon currently going for $4.99.

You can just ignore placing your mobile no. and go with your home number. The format must be something like xxx-xxx-xxx.

Bioware IS EA. EA own a major stake in the company, guys like Ray Muzyka are another string pulled executive that happily receives their paychecks from EA just like DICE.

Hmm, DX:HR discount is higher than before, is Missing Link DLC any good?
*
The Missing Link DLC is decent, give you a few fresh perspectives for Adam. If you can get it on a discount then I say go for it.

forgive me for this,
and they say why we pirate stuff alot../s
you can't much cheaper price from retailer even if it's more than 2 year since its release.. doh.gif
*
I would rather say its the red tape and restrictions imposed by the local distributes and retailers, they just want to horde all the profits rather than competitively price matching with other regions. Currently they are well aware that digital retailing is a serious competition to them, thats the reason why lots of retailers right now are either going digital or making exclusive deals with publishers to sell exclusive store bought copies like special DLCs and stuffs like that.

QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ Mar 16 2012, 03:19 PM)
that's why i say the future should be digital distribution only.

retail boxes, gather dust, incur more production cost, use paper, kill trees etc.
*
Agree, digital is the future but physical retail will still remain for some time as there still quite a number of consumers prefer those like physical bonuses. Though physical will always remain less cost effective due to cost in physical distribution (transport, warehousing, manufacturing, etc.).

more like discrimination to me...

It is, profits wise why there's always different publishers representing every region. A good example of when things gets too messy can be viewed in cases between Namco Bandai and CDP for distribution and royalty rights for the Witcher 2.

Apparently the new Sins of a Solar Empire expansion will require Steam, but cant find the preorder for it there. Preorder is already on developer website, dunno what the problem is.
*
Not surprising. Some titles show up exclusively on other sites before even showing up on the Steam store. They still can be activated from Steam nonetheless since its already in their registry system.

Also not sure if this is related to the question but quite some time ago there was a... problem if you ask a Russian friend to buy the games for you.  The trend of asking people of another country to buy games for you is of course quite widespread, especially in Aus (I think?). Why the problem is only for Russia, I dont even know.
*
There are very high piracy rate in Rus, they do this to "localize" their market. However for the most part the downside is that most games sold in Russia are only intended for their market and underlining eastern european blocs like Ukraine including patches, technical support and languages.

All I can say if you really intended o buy or trade Russian regions games or keys just pray services like Steam or Origin don't catch on. They have full authority to banhammer your account without prior warning.

Believe me when I say the vanilla and CR boss battles have you cracking your skull to figure out the proper approach. Retribution was a cakewalk when compared.

How to buy it? It is available for US only

If you already have an amazon account, use that.

$10 for an anything gift coupon is a steal.
