    I was wondering if any of you wonderful US of A people would help me purchase Mass Effect 2 by way of me sending you the cash via paypal and then you sending me the game through steam via gift?
    Cheers!

    People really do look for many different ways to save a few extra dollars during these steam sales just to possibly afford another game :p lol

    I feel the pain, when I used to live in the uk I used to call it rip-off Briton but now living in the EU things like games cost so much more.

    I dont understand this, the games for me are usually rated at same price as in the us, but for some games they put a completely arbitrary tag on it, like mass effect 2 which is 25 dollars with the discount for me(in brazil).

    Id be willing to do that too, but I dont have pay pal because apparently it doesnt accept my credit card, which is kind a credit card with a money on it, but I do use it on steam no problem, thats why I was wondering if someone would accept a gift for gift thing which would work out. Im not crying to get this game though, if i was i would just pay the full amount, so maybe ill just hold for other deals, plus I have got a lot of games lately which I have yet to start playing. Thanks for the offer though.

    take a look HERE at steam price compare which gives you the prices in £/$ & euro.

    just for example take a look at black ops:
    GBP £ 39.99

    USD $ 59.99 » GBP £ 38.91 (-2.70%)

    EUR € 59.99 » GBP £ 50.97 (+27.46%)

    euro rip off. glad the uk has still got the £
