Gundato: Regarding ME1: Double check to make sure you can do Bring Down the Sky. I think they fixed that for Steam, but not sure. Otherwise, all you miss out on is a rather poor manual.

Cool stuff, looks like I save me a bundle for ME1. Thanks!

Yep, you can. First sticky on Steams ME board. And I can confirm it to work from personal experience.
Steam EA deal:
Mass Effect: 75% = 3,74€ (14,99€)
Mass Effect 2: -40% = 29,99€ (49,99€)
Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition: -40% = 35,99€ (59,99€)
Why now? :( Why not on Sunday. Damn, I hate it when banks close for the weekend and I don't have any money on my card.

Not on Steam.
But you can buy it digitally from GamersGate.co.uk (you'll have to pay in sterling) or for a far higher price from the EA Japan store.

What do you mean? Gifting is available on Steam, Gamersgate, but not EA's stores.

weird. My office (tokyo) seems to usually (but not always) see the unrestricted US store,as Mass Effect etc.. were showing up fine. But from home they don't show up. It's happened before with a few other games too.
However almost every other site I visit at work (such as google, yahoo, etc..) recognises it as Japan and switches to japanese mode.
Maybe I should try and find out what ISP my company uses...
PS/ Thanks bansama.

I want to buy Hidden and Dangerous 2, but not sure. How good is the site in terms of reliability?

I have only had good experiences with them. They sell games for low prices and deliver quickly. Great service in my experience.

I'd imagine they're using a proxy server. They circumvent regional restrictions.

If it's a multinational, they probably have VPNs to US based servers which is why you see the US store.

Gifting is available on Steam if you have a friend in the US to gift to you. But if you want to purchase it yourself, it's GamersGate, EA Japan, being lucky enough to find it in store. But you're not going to see the current Steam sales prices from any of those.
