I've noticed GOG.com has changed to a new layout and at the same time swtiched over to Euro since i live in Sweden. Is it possible to switch back to dollar currency again? I don't want to pay in the Euro currency.

Thanks!

Yes, there is an option to change your currency from € to $ and vice versa at the bottom of the page. Take a look at the attached image.

Freedom dollars, nothing else will do.

Do note that with the current exchange rate, the $6 & $10 games are actually ever so slightly cheaper in € (as in a few cent). It might be worth keeping track of exchange rate fluctuations in the future, so get the best possible deal.
BTW - why do I have to change from € to $ everytime I log in?! It shouldn't be hard to make the site to remember my settings for the next session here, I suppose? :>

Actually games in $ were a bit cheaper for me.

They are working on fixing that:

That's strange, considering we live in the same country :P
A $5.99 game costs 4.49€. $5.99=4.56€ or 41.88sek, while 4.49€=41.25sek. The difference is hardly noticeable, but the € price is just a tiny bit lower
$9.99=7.61€=69,85sek (7.49€=68,79sek)
But it's possible that your bank does some form of transaction fee for certain currencies.

Depends what currency converter you use. I use this one.

Also keep in mind your payment processor. Visa transactions are usually better in USD, while Mastercard is better in euros. This in case the card's currency is different from euro/usd of course.

I just relied on google (who have a built in currency converter). When I've checked, it has lined up exactly with the numbers I've got from more "official" sources, but I guess it's quite possible (and likely) that they are not quite as up to date as valuta.se.
