@ld13:
Thanks.. post fixed. So the only difference is the standart for rating. Weird that ESRB(17+) shares the same package with PEGI(18+) while BBFC 18 is different from them.. rofl
As usual for such, both Max Payne games are not available in Germany.

@Rad86N
Be careful of what prices the script shows you for Medieval II. The way the script was coded will make that it might pull the wrong prices for some stuff with bundle packages as you can see with the "lolwut" price your script popped out above. It eg. pulls the USA Medieval II: Total War store page ( http://store.steampowered.com/…..700/?cc=US ) and sees that there are 3 different prices for stuff listed there:
Price 1 – Medieval II: Total War
Price 2 – Medieval II: Total War Gold Package
Price 3 – Total War™ Mega Uber $uper Duper Pack
Then moving onto the next region (UK and then the two EU Tiers) it pulls price 1,2,3 for each of these regions and slots them into their respective slots until it is finished. But not all the regions get all the packs.
eg. http://store.steampowered.com/…..700/?cc=EE – In this case, the Total War Gold Package is not being sold in this region! So the script pulls the first price, 2.49€:
Medieval II: Total War
US: $4.99
EU Tier2: 2,49€ (29% lower)
Then the second price on the EU Tier 2 store page for Medieval II: Total War. But now price 2 is the Mega Uber $uper Duper Pack price, 50.70€, and not the required Gold Package, because it is not sold in this region:
Medieval II Gold
US: $29.95
EU tier 2: 50,70€ (143% higher)
And that is how/why the pricing might look absurd at times when using the script. The only workaround for this is to view the packages on their own by pressing the "Package Info" button – or a total rewrite of the script. Here follows the correct pricing … I hope:
Medieval II: Total War
US: $19.99 $4.99
UK: £9.99 £2.49 (19% lower)
EU Tier1: 9,99€ 2,49€ (29% lower)
EU Tier2: 9,99€ 2,49€ (29% lower)
Medieval II Gold
US: $29.95
UK: £13.99 (24% lower)
EU Tier1: 19,98€ (4% lower)
EU Tier2: N/A
Total War™ Mega Pack
US: $89.99 $57.45
UK: £39.99 £33.70 (5% lower)
EU Tier1: 59,99€ 50,70€ (26% higher)
EU Tier2: 59,99€ 50,70€ (26% higher)
In short: Different regions got less/more packages so the script can end up mixing prices. LoL
Edit: First post of 2010! Happy New Year pplz! :D

For anyone that actually reads this thread.. I apologize for the late update on today's deals. I unfortunately chose snowboarding on a nearby mountain over staying home and waiting for the next set of fail deals xD anyway.. who missed some of these games on previous day sales, here is your chance, prices are pretty much equal, only if you are interested in L4D2 sale and you get to live in a EU Tier 1 region, I suggest getting the game or a 4 pack via your friend from any of the other 3 steam regions. A word to end this all.. I hope you used this sale to get a game you wanted to buy for a long time and you didn't get seduced by the falsely great deals for bad games.

FUEL™ on Steam is a fail..
US: $24.99 $4.99 – 3,49€ – 80% off
UK: £17.99 £2.99 (4% lower) – 3,37€ – 83+% off
EU: 49,99€ 24,99€ (615% higher) – 50% off
The game is majorly overpriced in Europe and discounts don't match at all!
funny..
Czech retailer..
899CZK(34€) at xzone.cz again some overprice.. add some 4€ for postage within Czech republic.
to Slovakia almost 8€ .. the postage is for a package of any size.
jrc.cz that is owned by british game.co.uk has FUEL for the same xzone price..
