Doesnt appear that much cheaper. Whats the Euro to Pund exchange at the moment?

1.1 Euros to the pound atm.

I just bought The Orangebox from this site and PayPal gave me a 1.08 conversion rate! Still works out at just over £10 compared to £16.99 on Steam.... over a 50% saving isn't to be sniffed at.

They seem to have upped the price of L4D, it was only £15 the other day, now it's almost £20

If its a Polish site would it not be the Polish version of the game? Not that there may be any difference, but I know the German versions are different with less gore, etc.

All (valve) steam games are multilanguage, whether you buy it in the US or in Poland, you can play the games in Dutch, German, English, Polish, French, whatever...

For me that shop is over 2x as cheap as here... Up to 4x as cheap in some cases since I get a lot of PLN for Euro's these days

. Some of the prices are there in Zlotty's as much as they are here in euros, while I get 4.3 PLN for 1 euro

Is that site safe then? might get L4D see what the fuss is about that game

Well I found a thread on another forum about this site and everyone there got their keys, though some did have to chase them and threaten to query the PayPal payment. Then they got their keys within an hour lol.

Bought mine an hour ago, had 2 conformation emails but no key yet.

Also everyone said L4D was the slowest turnaround, usually at least 24 hours between payment and key being sent.

Still no working key as of yet... though they do reply to emails they do a lot of messing about.

I'm glad I only spent a tenner, I won't be using them again and wouldn't recommend them tbh.

hmm you can buy a boxed copy of l4d for 14.93 from a dvd postal rental company that i love. They also had boxed copies of orange box for 11.93 and thats all english and bought in england.

Me and my mate bought a L4D key from them when it was around 15 Euro's. Got emailed the key in a few hours and its worked fine ever since.

About time Steam got some competition so they can't keep overcharging us.

Stardocks Impulse seems to be an upcoming platform too.

Dont know if it works in Europe though.

Yep, used this for Sins of a Solar Empire and GalCiv. They occasionally have some very good weekend deals too. I think it was here I got SupCom really cheap from. Good thing too, it was boring as hell

why spend 2 hours emailing to save £ 5 ?
spend the money in good old uk shops
