PWYW for Fotonica: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/pwyw_for_fotonica
Blu-ray and DVD sale of Criterion titles at B&N, 50% off if any GOGer is interested: http://video.barnesandnoble.com/u/DVD-The-Criterion-Collection-of-Special-Edition-DVDs/379000756
RetroVortex: PC market has been pushed out of the retail market in the UK really.
Thats mostly why its so much cheaper than their console brethren
...
The final decider is the DRM.
Since PC games generally can't be resold, retailers just sell them cheaper. Agreed on that. Well lots of studios closing, and retail focusing heavily towards consoles (but this is happening worldwide, for years. Here, I only find really old and overpriced PC games).
Yeah the consoles retail for higher because MS, Sony and N. want a licensing cut from it.
The other day I was looking at online retailers in the UK exactly... Rage and other pre-orders for less than 20 pounds?! Couldn't believe it, and yet people prefer to buy 1 console title for what they would have paid for like 3 PC games...
People who buy console titles at release date are rich and don't know they are, I've been saying this for years. With a PC you pay for the hardware every 3 or 4 years, but then you can get the games for dirt cheap. :p
Foxhack: To do that you'll have to get the assholes who keep pushing those insane anti-foreign product taxes out of power.
So today's Steam deal is Who's That Flying?! for $3. Anyone know how it is? Yep, that's the problem here for just everything. The assholes in power.
At least we have a project against abusive taxes here, translated as Fair Game: http://www.jogojusto.com.br/

But do let us know what happens. Perhaps things will be different now that GameStop are involved.

Here's hoping, but we both know what Impulse are like. So unless GameStop have changed their ways, I wouldn't put it past them at least trying, even with PayPal.

They seem to think it is but no it isn't. Like all digital distributors Impulse hide behind their T&C's like it makes consumer rights invalid confident no one could be bothered to afford the legal fees in suing them. Having suffered their wrath in the past I can tell you they are staffed by ignorant arseholes who epitomise bad business practices. Not that I am bitter or anything :p

I like quoting myself : Already own it ( except the last DLC ) .
I've got the address of a warehouse in Portland , Oregon.

You could give it a try. Just ensure you set it as the default 1-click address. Even if you have 1-click turned off, you'll get errors if the US address is not the default one.
The address I use is a residential address of someone I used to know.
