| 626875 | 2008-01-03 01:38:00 | COD4: Gameplanet = $77.31 US. Boxed Play-Asia = $34.90 US. Boxed YesAsia = $44.99 US. Boxed CDUniverse = $48.95 US. Boxed Steam = $88.50 US. Not even a CD for your money. They're mad. |

| 626876 | 2008-01-03 02:31:00 | IMO Steam = Crap. Wouldn't touch it with a 40 foot barge pole. Sure, it has it's advantages...but meh. Not worth it. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 626877 | 2008-01-03 07:37:00 | Why shouldn't they charge like that? It worked for Bill Gates - - - - Would it be better if they called it iSteam? ;) |

| 626878 | 2008-01-03 20:39:00 | www.kotaku.com.au ml Steam is probably one of the biggest crocks of s**t created in some time. I see Activision and EA are rallying to stop the sale of 2nd hand games as well as they dont make profit off the sale. The original prices are robbery in the first place! |

| 626879 | 2008-01-03 21:19:00 | Steam aren't the only ones doing it. I decided to buy a copy of Nero 8 because the US price was reasonable when converted to NZ$ (about $75 from memory) but when I got through to the ordering part, they wanted to charge me AU$80 :mad: | Greven (91) | ||
| 626880 | 2008-01-04 01:26:00 | Mmm, yes, I buy most of my software overseas. Far cheaper. And I avoid Steam. |
