    People in the US bought it without any problems :p

    I'm from Canada and didn't have any problems purchasing it as well.

    What? Saints Row won't run on a 460m?

    Specs say minimum nVidia 8800 with max nVidia 400 series. It should run at least medium detail.

    Hmm, may have to get it then.

    Too many sales.. so little money!

    The kiddies Xmas gifts just cleaned me out and I sold 60 hours of vacation to do that.

    I need to work on some begging signs just incase.

    "Viking no home will dance for money"

    Lucky for me I have hit a mental state where I can pass up games that I think I would want or that are good deals just because I do have so many on the back burner that I have not even played yet.

    I have high expectations and need to run everything on native resolution which is 1080p. It runs fine on medium but the visuals look ugly IMO. I can play batman arkham city on max without any problems and it looks so beautiful :) I guess saint row the third is too big of a map for my gpu to handle :(

    Yep, I have a similar state of mind but since I've been saving up for the past month now, I blew $130 in a matter of days.

    It was all worth it though :)

    It got me 5 games:
    - dead island
    - batman arkham city
    - battlefield 3
    - modern warfare 3 (most expensive one)
    - saint row the third.

    :)
