Odds are they will drop it by 25%/33% in the Christmas Sales. And even then, it will just about match the launch prices in brick and mortar stores. The Russian VPN is what's turning me off this so much, but f that isn't a hurdle for you then you know what to do.

i went through the vpn process in a sandbox monitoring everything.
nothing bad to report at all.

perfectly legit.

Posted this in bargain alerts already but OnLive have launched in the U.K. and you can get your first game for £1

http://www.onlive.co.uk/go/one-pound?ol_campgn_internal=featuredgames

There's Deus Ex Human Revolution, Warhammer Space Marine, Dirt 3 among others.

edit: think you might need a U.K. IP address

You need a UK IP to register a credit card on the website.
(I used Your Freedom, google it it's free and uses SSL and also is trustworthy)
After that though, you're away.
I got Deus Ex

Well, I needed a UK IP anyway, I'm on UPC.

Doubt my 3mb eircom crap would suffice

GOG.com are going to be giving out Broken Sword 1 to everyone once they reach 6 million unique downloads. If you want in on some of the action then I'd recommend you head over there and create an account. No idea how it's going to work but they might block it to people who have accounts after the fact. Bought it already off them myself ages ago. Great little game.

Yup you'll need an account as soon as they hit their milestone.

Help us achieve 6 million unique games downloaded milestone

2011 has been a fantastic year for GOG.com, let's make it even better and make the last push to achieve the 6 million unique downloaded games milestone.

During our presentation at the CD Projekt Fall 2011 Conference we've shared some numbers that show how successful this year was for GOG.com, all that was possible thanks to you - our great community. One of the big milestones we'd like to celebrate with you is the 6 million unique downloaded games! Help us achieve this number and we'll launch a time-limited special offer for all GOG.com users!

Note that when we say "unique games downloaded," that means redownloading games that you have already downloaded before won't increment the counter.

When the counter on the main page of the website hits 6 million, two exciting things will hapen. First off, the lucky user who downloaded our 6 millionth unique game will receive everything that's currently in the catalog, abslutely free! Secondly, everyone who has an account on GOG.com will be able to download Broken Sword: Shadow of The Templars Director’s Cut for free, thanks to Sir Charles Cecil and Revolution Software. The offer will be valid only for 48 hours starting from hitting the milestone, so be sure to check GOG regularly or follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Let's get cracking to unlock this achievement as soon as possible - it's all in your hands now!

Alpha Protocol is €2 on Steam right now. I really liked this game. Some great choices in there. Shooting is quite disappointing but an enjoyable game, all the same. Easily worth €2

Dreamcast Collection is also €2.50, but I've no idea if it's any use? Also, the games in the dreamcast collection are down to €2.50 each, so use your head and buy the pack of 4 for €2.50

cherryghost · 22-09-2011 6:41pm

Company of Heroes only €1.59, gold for €2.99

Get it if you don't own it yet. Jesus!

danthefan · 22-09-2011 7:00pm

Just got the 3 of them, €4.99. What a deal. I love Steam sometimes.

streets of rage .62 cent!

streets of rage 2 is the same price http://store.steampowered.com/app/71165/?snr=1_4_4__106_5

danthefan · 22-09-2011 10:50pm

Went nuts and got Alpha Protocol as well, tbh I'm not even sure I'll ever play it, but €2 is ridiculous.

The start to it is rather weird. It doesnt seem to want to drag you in. The RPG aspects and in-game choices are pretty damn good though. It's a shame some of the shooting and other design mechanics let it down somewhat.
Playing it through again, can make you see how well the RPG and choice stuff is.

Krusader · 22-09-2011 11:48pm

Company of Heroes for €1.50 on Steam

Snapped up Alpha Protocol for 2 euros. Heard it starts crap and the combat is rubbish but the dialogue and choices really make the game.

Retr0gamer · 23-09-2011 2:39pm

Sega and Sonic All Star Racing is only 9.99 on Steam. Fantastic kart racer, as good as any of the mario kart games and was severely underrated.

djkeogh · 24-09-2011 10:26am

Damn, was in HMV yesterday picking up Gears 3. Didn't even cast the eye to see if there were any bargains. I'd defo have picked that up at that price. Might wander down early next week and see if they still have it.

DARK-KNIGHT · 24-09-2011 2:28pm

Guy in game blanch said the deal for the gears of war 3 limited edition console including 320 gb console, gears of war 3 game, crisis 2 game 2 limited edition xbox controllers will still work as long as shops have stock!!

Deal is swap your 250 gb xbox 360 with 1 controller and 99 euro for the new console deal or swap a 120gb xbox360 elite console one controller and 175 euro for the console!!! It's great value IMO especially the 250gb slim offer!

Still have a console waiting in game Liffey valley if anyone is interested in defo getting it pm mr and I'll give you the details!!

Btw the gears console retails at 335 euro

calex71 · 24-09-2011 6:39pm

Not sure if was mentioned , HMV have Gears of War 2 with all the dlc for 11.99

Not sure how many will want it with gow3 only out but sure even if you have it already, the dlc would cost you more than 11.99

Id buy it for the single player, but the MP is broken and an awful step back from gears 3 and gears 1 in some aspects. I hated the MP in GOW2.

Popped it in there earlier as I wanted to replay the last act as my memory wasn't the best regards the ending etc. Warzone on Avalanche was played while I had the disc in too, and yes nothing has changed

I actually think thats what made me not want to get gears 3, the multiplayer boy am I glad I did now.

DARK-KNIGHT · 24-09-2011 11:10pm

THE GEARS MULTIPLAYER IS FIRST CLASS..

did anyone buy the season pass thing for gears??

Bonesy. · 26-09-2011 7:13pm

nothing specific really, off the top of my head maybe Driver San Fran

Pacing Mule · 26-09-2011 7:52pm

If it's a driving game you're after I saw Game had F1 2011 available for 99 cent if you traded in Dead Island. Also had Gears 3 but you're not into that.

You would get €40 credit for it on Xbox at the moment off Gamesnash.

Considering it's out of stock everywhere you would most likely get similar for it on adverts too if you were willing to go down that route.

(in the interests of disclosure I am involved with Gamesnash)
