But <strong>he bought the game with a discounted game Psychonauts ($2 at a time)</strong>.</p>
<p>What’s wrong you may think? Well, <strong>according to Steam Support you can’t refund only one game if you put them both in the shopping cart</strong>. And now the guy had to “give back” (and get back the $2 of course) Psychonauts in order to get his money for AvP back.</p>
<p>After that he wanted a refund for his pre-ordered copy of&#160; Battlefield Bad Company 2. I wonder why? ;-)</p>
<p>Whats’s our point? <strong>Watch out there kids, don’t get pre-orders with regular games!</strong></p>
<p>PS Our favorite moderators already closed the topic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now you can pre-purchase this RPG game on Steam. The designer team is composed of lots of designers, project leads of Diablo, Diablo II, Mythos and Fate. So that sounds pretty good, let&#8217;s butcher the prices :)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/41500" target="_blank"><strong>Torchlight</strong></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1901" title="torchlight" src="http://steamunpowered.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/torchlight.jpg" alt="torchlight" width="466" height="309" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>US: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$19.99 </span>$17.99</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">UK: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">£14.99</span> £13.49 (23% higher than US)</span><br />
</strong>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>EU: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">15.99€</span> 14.39€ (19% higher than US)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-1900"></span>So all things considered, I guess it&#8217;s not that bad, but still, it&#8217;s overpriced.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Game Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Randomization</strong> &#8211; Our level layouts are randomly created, so  each adventure is unique. Monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items are also  different each time you embark on an adventure</li>
<li><strong>Easy, approachable interface</strong> &#8211; Torchlight is designed to be  easy to play right from the beginning. The intuitive interface gives players  easy access to a rich and varied world</li>
<li><strong>Retirement System</strong> &#8211; Once characters are sufficiently leveled  up, they can “retire” and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters</li>
<li><strong>Pets</strong> &#8211; Players will choose a pet to accompany them. Pets can  level up along with the player, and will help in battle, carry items, and  perform a variety of helpful services</li>
<li><strong>Character Classes</strong> &#8211; Players will create and customize a  character from one of three classes available, and choose an animal companion.  Through cosmetic choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire,  each character will be custom-tailored and different</li>
<li><strong>Fishing</strong> &#8211; Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of  adventuring to visit one of the fishing holes and relax and see what they can  catch. Fish have interesting benefits for the player and pet, and other rewards  can also be discovered</li>
<li><strong>Included Editor</strong> &#8211; Runic Games is embracing our modding  community by including an editor so our players can create and design their own  content</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today you can pre-purchase Dragon Age: Origins on Steam, but are the prices fair?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/17450" target="_blank">Standard Edition:</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1821" title="dragonagese" src="http://steamunpowered.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dragonagese.jpg" alt="dragonagese" width="466" height="309" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>US: $49.99</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">UK: £29.99 (3% lower than US)</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">EU: 49.99€ (49% higher than US)</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-1816"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/901081/" target="_blank">Digital Deluxe Edition:</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1822" title="dragonagede" src="http://steamunpowered.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dragonagede.jpg" alt="dragonagede" width="466" height="309" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>US: $54.99</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Well as you can see the prices are unfair. UK has the Standard edition cheaper by 3% but that&#8217;s it.

<p><strong>The Story</strong></p>
<p>William &#8220;Bill&#8221; Sherman has a problem &#8211; he&#8217;s dead. Blown to pieces by his own C4 payload, which he wanted to eliminate a South American druglord with on behalf of some shady secret service people. The fact that he accidentally blew a bus full of innocent civilians into the Great Beyond has given rise to an all new problem &#8211; Hell doesn&#8217;t exactly have any problems with claiming his soul. But now Bill&#8217;s in purgatory and he&#8217;s caught the eye of heaven&#8217;s warriors. He&#8217;s been offered a chance to make good the havoc he wrought using his quite special skills. And with weapons of course. Bizarre weapons. Crazy weapons&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The Game</strong></p>
<p>Developed by Homegrown Games with former developers and modders from the previous Painkiller games in collaboration with Studio Med-Art and with a Catholic priest advising, Painkiller Resurrection combines rock-hard, no-frills action and an exciting story with painstakingly researched details. In a bizarre world influenced by medieval ideas about hell and purgatory and Dante&#8217;s Inferno, the mixture of fast, straightforward levels and enormous, explorable regions containing the worst scum of any hell provides a unique gaming experience.</p>
<ul>
<li>Unique storyline told using top quality &#8220;graphic novel&#8221; style cutscenes</li>
<li>Completely reworked &#8220;Painkiller 2.0 engine&#8221; with shader effects, weather systems, a superb physics engine, and ultra-fast netcode, including an anticheat system</li>
<li>The best weapons from all of the Painkiller titles + new, inventive tools of death</li>
<li>Classic-style FPS levels and enormous, explorable areas provide varied gameplay</li>
<li>4-player co-op campaign</li>
<li>Countless eSports-grade multiplayer modes with numerous new and updated maps</li>
</ul>
