They charge more for the games in the UK then they do in the US. I'm sure if you looked at the Australian prices there would be a much larger discrepancy.
Reminds me that I was at a Gamestop today and saw a poster a la "Pre-order Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel edition" now. I had a hard time suppressing my laughter.
*assuming you paid the current retail price and purchased each of your games individually.
80,92€ or $85.92 USD or £57.92 GBP. I paid $124.82 (€86,84 according to Google). Hurray... VAT...! Also, isn't it totally fucked up that they put the Euro sign after the price. That's not how we do shit here guys.

This shit is bananas. EDIT2: I realize this would fit better in the FAIL thread, but then again, it is not I that fails here, but Steam.

Nope - we usually get pretty good prices from steam, with games costing slightly less for us than you guys. The exceptions are few - for example, Brink is 90 bucks odd here, but Deus Ex Human Revolution is $44. We get hammered in stores, but Steam is pretty good to us.
So since the beginning of April I have lost 20-25lbs!!! Its my goal to lose another 30ish by the end of the summer. Well when I was using drugs and alcohol I weighed 145lbs. That was in November of 2009. I went up to 225. Now I fluctuate between 200 and 2007. I cut out soda (for the most part) and I am going to try (well I'm going to try to try) to cut out sugary juice. I am going to ride 8-10 miles 3 times a week for a month then step it up to 10-15 5 days a week after that. Any advice guys?
"JardÃÂn vertical low-tech en Ibiza" by Spanish architects Urbanarbolismo. The garden acts as a sound barrier between a club's outdoor central courtyard and nearby appartments. The ceramic elements - used as a planting medium - are placed so that irrigation water can easily enter from above. No automated irrigation systems are required. Urbanarbolismo makes use of local plant varieties.
A paper from researchers at Microsoft Research and Hebreew University details a new, spline-based algorithm for transforming pixel art, such as that from early sprite-based games, into scalable vector images. Johannes Kopf and Dani Lischinski's "Depixelizing Pixel Art" describes an upscaling technique that differs from popular methods used by companies like Adobe in ways that are particularly suited for the low-resolution sprites of classic games.
I know you guys here, generally speaking, aren't fans of MMOs, and I'm not such a huge one anymore but today proved why my job is one of the best out there. 3 executives came and had a 2 hour, totally free form discussion with our customer support teams and talked about any and everything that effects us here at Blizzard. I cannot express how amazing it is to know that these guys care about each and every level of our business and the lengths they are willing to go to for the betterment of the players and the business itself.
I could rant about how amazing it is but that's the tl;dr version. =D
Metal Gear Solid HD collection (MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker) and a Zone of the Enders HD collection just got announced. Maybe we'll get a new Zone of the Enders game out of this.

Funny thing, it says I haven't been online in 149 days. I haven't even had an account that long -_-
Copy the whole URL into the box it gives you. That's how I got it to go.

@Dmitri from the previous page,
@DevilUknow, I actually saw that commercial at the movie theater. That is some genius advertising right there.

It's more of a how awesome your company is than why MMOs are awesome. :P
