    Fix ?
    Edit : that funky little Microsoft bundle is listed under the deals of the week section of Amazon.com's digital games store.

    It might also be worth noting that, as always (?) on Amazon, each game has its own steam key.

    @ZuluHero It's pretty easy, I've done it before.

    Got to enter a US delivery address (not hard to find online, suggest an Alaskan one). Irrelevant information for game downloads anyway.

    Can use your regular credit/debit card.

    Just bought that deal and yeah it's not too bad. Entered googles CA address and downloading on steam now. Only owned mark of the ninja already so well worth it.

    @Cosquae That's great - is there a reason to use an alaskan address over say, 90210? :)

    I just use that as my zip-code when signing up to other american services, like LIVE and PSN etc.

    @ZuluHero Different states have different rates of sales tax.

    90210 = california (relatively high sales tax rate)

    Alaska = 0% sales tax (too many bears I think to collect it from)

    Just ordered it but it's saying it may take up to 4 hours to process? Is that normal?

    @rtk79 Nice one thanks, been waiting for a good deal on Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight.

    I am looking to trade the other 3 if anyone is interested (please reply by PM or in the Steam trading thread)

    iPad support for the mobile app out. Looks better now.

    Give yourself ½ gig or a £, you're worth it.

    Anyone who wants a copy of the real version of DmC can get it from SimplyGames for the rather inexpensive sum of £12.99, it's a Steam code.

    I bought a key for Prototype 2 from them (still not played it because I'm an idiot) and that was pretty painless.

    This space left intentionally blank.

    DmC uses Steamworks DRM so yes.

    Posted this in the completely wrong thread and already beaten :)
    Why this not in the shopping forum?

    Anyway, DMC for £12.99 anyone? http://www.simplygames.com/info/19827/DmC-Devil-May-Cry-CD-KEY-Download-PC

    The Square Enix site's selling stuff cheap. Especially the last 3 Legacy of Kain games for £1.24 each.

    I'm a grumpy bastard.

    Interesting one this...

    £22 for FarCry 3... and you get a free graphics card! Or £22 for a graphics card... and you get a free copy of FarCry 3! However you want to see it...

    Hmmm, would that card even run Far Cry 3?

    It's Direct X11 compliant with 1GB memory, so it does meet Far Cry 3's recommended spec.

    But overall? Good for HTPCs, weak for gaming.

    Since upgrading W7 to W9, the Steam UI looks ridiculously low res, even though I am set to 1080p... has anyone encountered this?

    And, even though I am at 1080p, my screen res settings states "You are displaying below 1600x1200" for some reason...

    If you mean upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8, i see no change personally. Steam acts and looks perfectly normal. Sounds to me like graphics drivers and/or settings are buggered after you upgraded.

    Known as 'Sharzam' in 98.5% of games

    Steam full screen mode looks very soft and frankly a bit shit even at my native screen resolution but regular Steam looks fine.

    Odd. Updated drivers and reinstalled Steam. Grah.

    That weird message about me not being over 1600res is odd though.
