    What's strange is that Origins in cheaper in Aus but Ultimate edition is not compared to the US prices.

    DA origins was a sweet game but DA2….not even sure if that's worth $20

    • milfey on 03/05/2011 - 22:40

      Not even sure it's worth $10. That game was rushed and is a disgrace to the Dragon Age series.

    • manbearpig on 03/05/2011 - 21:17

      Wth, I didn't even realise it was $19.99 to begin with. That dropped in price quick.

    Seriously want Hot Pursuit but I'm still trying to factor in my 35GB worth of downloads for the GTA Games in an earlier Steam deal haha.

    • shaun-o on 04/05/2011 - 10:15

      I got the GTA IV Collection too, it's over half my download quota!

      • ESEMCE on 04/05/2011 - 10:26

        you don't have free steam from your ISP?
        I feel sorry for you!

          Bigpond apparently hosts Steam content and does not meter downloads from their content servers. However, I have never been able to download from their two servers - even by blocking all others. It sucks - a lot.

  • kellyly on 04/05/2011 - 10:17

    Who would buy NFS:Shift 1 instead of getting the Shift 2 with the same content(tracks/cars) with better graphics, night racing and more cars? :/

      I can think of ~73 reasons.

      • kellyly on 04/05/2011 - 12:14

        You can get it for $35 for the CD Key and download it from EA Downloader.
        And online gaming doesn't require steam to work.

  • IsometricBacon on 04/05/2011 - 14:05

    Hot Pursuit is showing as $14.99 for me… is this the cost in AUD?

    • Gambo on 04/05/2011 - 14:12
      +2

      Sounds like you are looking at the U.S. store.

      One of the rare times we get it cheaper.

      • IsometricBacon on 04/05/2011 - 14:25

        Really? Strange. It seems to add it to my cart as $14.99.

        Come to think about it, I was living in the US when I first signed up for Steam. Perhaps I have a US Account? I have made purchases since moving back to Australia.

        Can I switch it to Australian, or would that be unadvisable given that it's always cheaper to buy from US?

        • doormatt1 on 04/05/2011 - 14:39
          +1

          You could try purchasing from the Australian Store: http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=au

        • IsometricBacon on 04/05/2011 - 15:29

          Awesome, thanks. Just bought the game from the Australian Store. Went through fine.

          I wonder if I would be able to buy other cheaper games from the US Store, or if it will give me issues?

        • doormatt1 on 05/05/2011 - 09:39

          Not sure. When making a purchase the store checks your IP address location and credit card location (changing these enables buying from other Steam stores). You may be able to buy from either store, shouldn't hurt to try.

  • bigosmallo on 04/05/2011 - 14:25

    EA is getting better and better in my book. Activision on the other hand…

  • manbearpig on 04/05/2011 - 14:29

    I ask myself this question: Do I REALLY need more games to add to my huge list of games I've bought but yet to play?

    Usually I'd buy this in an instant. But I think I'll pass this time as I've come to realise that impulse buying is not a healthy habit. Seeing the list of games I've bought but yet to play just stresses me out lol. Makes completing games seem more like a task and takes away from the enjoyment one should get when playing a good game. 10-15 years ago for example, if I was given a game as a present, that'd be the only game I'd get in at least 6 months so I'd play it to death and try and get everything I could out of that game. Now days, I play a game and once finished I'm like "phew, that's one less game on the list".

    Back then though (I'm talking about the 90's) there was of course less game exposure, so one couldn't be easily pushed into buying games. With the internet and everything digital now though, games are everywhere.

    Sorry, I needed to vent.

    • bigosmallo on 04/05/2011 - 14:32

      Great post. I've got about 20 games I've yet to even install, let alone play on my Steam account. I'll be staying away from most steam deals for a while I think.

    • IsometricBacon on 04/05/2011 - 14:44
      +3

      Heh I completely understand. I'm the same, but my big problem is that now that I have the disposable income to blow on all these games, I never have the actual time to play them. But really, that's all part of growing up.

      On a plus side though, I don't tend to feel too bad about it because I never pay that much for the games in the first place, so even if I only get a little play out of them for the price, it's almost the same as when I used to rent them from the local video shop, except with the added advantage of owning it and being able to go back whenever I want.

    • Windows7forever on 04/05/2011 - 17:55

      I can relate to this 100%. Having more games is a curse, not a blessing! It really is about less is more. I maybe got 1-2 new games a year when I was younger, now with all these sales and my higher disposable income I can buy multiple games every week and probably never have time to play them.

  • meong on 04/05/2011 - 15:12

    thanks… I nearly bought Hot Pursuit for $25 elsewhere.

  • RADICALIST on 04/05/2011 - 16:10

    Just grabbed Hot Pursuit for around $9 AUD.

        Thank you kind stranger!

        Now can you work on giving me unmetered internet to download these games? :P

  • Scratch2k on 05/05/2011 - 10:36

    I don't understand the difference between the US and AUS store. They seem to be the same price-wise and the only difference I can see if that the AU site specifically says USD as the currency where the US site doesn't. Don't you still buy the same games, in USD for the same price? Is my small sample too limited, are the prices in the US site usually cheaper than the AU site?

    • wisc on 05/05/2011 - 10:45

      couldn't agree more…pretty retarded developers CHOOSE to charge Australia's more, i boycott the companies that do, voting with my $$$ and hope other people will as well, the only way they will realize is when they loose our money

      actually had a rant about it here too:
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40764

      the sims is HALF price in the US, (before and after the sale) pre sale: 40 dollars vs 80!
      http://www.steamprices.com/au/search?sims

      i use steamprices each time i purchase a game to ensure i'm not getting ripped off.

      • Tilduke on 06/05/2011 - 11:02

        Thanks for the link to steamprices. Handy!

  • johnno07 on 06/05/2011 - 07:25

    Awesome Mass Effect Deals today! Anyone who has not played them needs to fork out the $15 to buy both of them. If you don't you are seriously missing out.

    • Tilduke on 06/05/2011 - 11:01

      Is the digital deluxe version worth the extra money ?

    • fLaMePrO on 06/05/2011 - 16:10

      Sure hope ME2 is hosted on an Australian server! Good deal though, even get change from a tenner given our exchange rate =]

      My mate's been bugging me to play this for ages, maybe I'll finally give in :p

  • meong on 07/05/2011 - 09:14

    They got Crysis now… Is it worth it to buy? Can you play Crysis 1 in multiplayer?

    • grange on 07/05/2011 - 14:02

      im buying it for the single player. pretty cheap

  • Black Hole on 07/05/2011 - 13:34

    Yes, there is multiplay but the question is, how many wallhakers and aimbots there to destroy the game. I mainly play lfd dor that trason.

  • Tilduke on 08/05/2011 - 15:19

    Dead space 1 looks ok and for $3.95 is probably worth a shot but I have already spent too much in this sale.
    Dead space 2 looks a little over the top for me and for $42 it's not nearly cheap enough to give it a shot.

    • johnno07 on 09/05/2011 - 00:39

      DS1 is a good deal but DS2 is cheaper elsewhere for a hard copy.
