Wotwot. *sips tea*.

I was just wondering whether there's any way to see prices for games in british pounds, instead of american dollars. It's no big problem, I'm a quick google away from an approximate british price, but it'd help. Sorry if I've missed anything blatantly obvious.

There's no way to tell I believe, you just have to know the conversion rates or google.

I'd use paypal. If you use your bank, they might charge you for the exchange. I made a purchase by card on gog a while ago and got charged £1.50 because it was in USD... never again.

They are purposefully keeping the prices as they are (6.99 usd, 9.99 usd and the rest) so everyone understands they don't change prices according to where you live. Ie. no 6.99 usd = 6.99 eur conversions and shit like that.

There are browser plugins for Firefox (and probably others, but I've never looked) that can automatically add a conversion whenever it comes across foreign currency displayed on a site.

I've always found them to be a little annoying, popping up where they're not needed, so I don't use one, but it's a possibility you could look into.

Take a look at The Witcher 2 gamecard, you'll get all the British pounds you want :P

Just thought I'd mention that you could bookmark XE.com and use that for quick conversions.

Paypal charges you too for foreign currency's. Their exchange rates are always higher or lower in their advantage. For euro-dollar conversions it's 2-3 eurocents, but it might actually be calculated as a percentage on their side.

Still, for lower-value purchases like games, a slightly less advantageous exchange rate is better than the flat transaction charge that many UK card providers seem to impose.

If they were in pounds they would bounce around like a yoyo.

Plus right now the Pound to dollar rate is pretty bad but when it is good we get these games at a steal price

Edit Paypal charges only 5p to 10p for exchange which is good (my card charges me £1.50)

I know but it's usually a few pence with paypal not £1.50. Last game I bought on GOG through paypal was 12p more expensive than the (then) current exchange rate value.

Anything below a $150 order it's usually better to use paypal (paypal usually only charges 1p a dollar in exchange costs making that around the break point where bank payments become cheaper with their flat £1.50)
