and all of these games are for pc... thats why steam should get local content servers!!!!

Check out BT Games for more realistic local prices i.e. Fallout 3 for R375 etc www.btgames.co.za

Better Prices

We're all standing here, waving our cash around going "please take my money", but the retailers are not listening. Instead they try to charge us 2x the price an American would pay, and Americans earn money in dollars. (ie if you translate it to Big macs, they earn a lot more than us).

Rather check out a place like thepiratebay.org , they have much better prices...

Edit: Thanks fivelza, btgames looks like they have the right idea. I've been wanting this for a while, think I'll get it: http://www.btgames.co.za/btgames/gamepage.asp?A05274

No problem, if you enjoyed COH and Opposing Fronts then you'll enjoy Tales of Valor.

BTW - R375 for Fallout 3 is not a very good price. It currently retails for +- $50 (approx R400). We still do get some good deals in SA

yea i know about all other retailer aswell as the good old piratebay etc, but i mean, are there people stupid enough to pay that much money for a game? its stupid.

You make a fair point but try to compare like with like and the comparison becomes meaningful.
