*** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

OT: For anyone with an iOS device and an interest in buying The Walking Dead in the Steam sale, the first episode is currently free on iOS. Not sure how long it lasts, but it's a good way of getting a demo.
 
Scribblenauts Unlimited is $7.49 on Amazon it's a Steam key so the game is locked until UK release without Vpn use and then you would have some US spellings of adjectives. Also Max Payne 3 + season pass was showing at $89.98 so...

Hell Yeah is also $7.49 worth a look.

Not a deal but a few words of praise for gamersgate. I've bought games from almost everywhere but gamergate and I just had some problems with my first purchase, so I submitted a ticket expecting a late reply and then the possibility of them being uncooperative.

28 minutes later I received a very polite and no fuss solution. Not bad for a busy sale period on eve of the Giftmass.

Picked up Scribblenauts, thanks :)

It registered on Steam no problem - it just comes up as a pre-order/load.

Trying to pick up Walking Dead also but it's saying "Sorry, processing of this order is taking longer than expected", could take up to 4 hours - hope it doesn't cancel the order.
 
Anyone know any place to download theme park/theme park world from online? gog.com has theme hospital but looking for the other two as well. Don't really want to order the discs as it looks as if they're too old on the discs to be compatible with Windows 7.
 
I hate to be a pain but wheres the guide on how to buy from Amazon US? Theres 127 pages to go through here!

Edit: Found it!

2nd Edit: So how is it ok to buy from Amazon.com for digital sales? Is there some kind of loophole here with addresses and credit card companies?

3 caveats I can think of:

1. Make sure the game isn't region locked like Dead Island GOTY
2. Find out if your credit card company charge for conversions. I bank with HSBC and they don't.
3. Obviously you're using a fake address which comes with it's own risks, but for digital sales it goes to your email address.

Theres more then one way to charge, percentage and flat fee. IF you buy a cheap game, a flat fee would suck so yep avoid that but they almost always skim a percentage cost on forex

I think tesco charged me 2.6% Its of no consequence for a tenner etc


A missing point there would be some usa states have sales tax. No point using an address there when you could drop by nevada for the afternoon and pay less
