    It won't accept my credit card, or my credit card won't accept it. :(

    That's ok. If it's in Russian voice, then I'm not interested.

    Are you sure?
    When I translate the page with Google Translate it says
    "Language: Russian (text only) Genre: Action, Shooter, Racing Region: Region Free "

    I would be only interested if the whole game is 100% in English, Text+Voice.
    So in conclusion, it is the same like i would buy it from here Sleeping Dogs on Steam or are there any differences?

    The russian version of Sleeping Dogs comes in English.
    The international one includes more languages.

    How did you buy it? I used three credit cards and wouldn't accept any. :mad:

    Just had an online chat and says it doesn't accept US card... I've bought thing from YuPlay before I think though. It's through RBK money. What other options do I have?

    Runs so great on my notebook.
    Even hooked it up to the old 50" Plasma (1360x768) with a Xbox controller for couch comfort.

    just played the intruduction and man am I impressed. great dialog and acting is fantastic so are the graphics.

    soo far im thinking this is the gta killer. with gta IV i get like 30fps with this game im getting 40-60 in 3d with everything maxed except AA and motion blur. without 3d im getting 94fps average and it looks twice as good as gta.

    very impressed with the porting and the gameplay. wishall ports were like this then we wouldnt need to upgrade every 8 months.

    my 6990m still handles all games near maxed settings, was thinking of upgrading to 680m but whats the point do i really need 200 fps..

    I am going to assume this is going steam sale this holiday. Going to wait for that. I have an enormous backlog as it is, I probably wont get to it until then, and that's being highly optimistic. :)
