Well I already had space rangers 2, but at $4, I get the expansion on top... works for me!

Not to criticize on a so good offer, but how come that all 3.99$ games became automatically 3.99€ (written like this 2.99 3.99€)?

Yeah, I don't like that offer, because it's more expensive in Euros.

Same in GBP - $3.99 becomes "$2.66 £3.99" and $9.99 becomes "$6.65 £9.99".
Have they got the $/£ values the wrong way around?

Sorry, strikethroughs vanished from copy/paste; I mean "$2.66 £3.99" etc.

I think they are woring on fixing whatever is borked.
Reply #13 Friday, December 12, 2008 11:15 AM
It's fixed. I shall pick up Space Rangers 2 I think, that's a great deal.
I already own World of Goo, and would strongly recommend it to everyone. Best game of 2008.

I can't check now due to latency on the report of my credit card but I think that games was charged with the correct price even if wrongly displayed. Or at least is what I hope. Would be good and official word on that.

Yes, for these sale items (AFAIK none of them have localized prices) it's just the wrong symbol being displayed; they will be charged at that amount in USD. It's on the list to fix ASAP.
Reply #16 Friday, December 12, 2008 12:14 PM
That's so silly. It's still cheaper than in the normal price!!!!
I feel so temped by Space Rangers 2 Complete and Supreme Commander...

You'll need to send the e-mail earlier, all the co-workers had already left for the weekend so couldn't tip them off
Reply #18 Friday, December 12, 2008 3:24 PM
I bought all the $4 games. I mean those 3 games @ $4 cost me $12. If they weren't on sale they would cost $80! What's not to love!?!?
Reply #19 Friday, December 12, 2008 7:54 PM
It ended up pricing it as £2.60 for me, which would be correct at the current exchange rates (damn failing currency), so I think it must be localizing the price correctly? Either that or it's actually charging me in dollars and that's just there for reference.
Either way it's a great deal and I'm enjoying Space Rangers.

Space Rangers 2 is an *amazing* game.
A must buy, in my opinion.
