I regard it as worse because it shows they do know how to do it properly and chose not to :P

They always knew how to do it properly, but the whole site is a mess in accessibility, only focusing on visuals rather than semantics.

Anyhow, the script's pretty much working, now I really just a way to set the user currency. Preview teaser attached. It's not perfect, but it's there and can always be improved later.

Thanks for that currency rate script by the way, using that Yahoo URL is much easier than what I was planning originally (a search on Google's mobile site, parsing DOM and whatnot).

If you just log in and order a game, it's not obviously international. I probably missed it in the fine print initially, but there isn't anything outside the fora that makes it obvious that the business isn't operating out of the US.

Yeah, I suppose.

And at the very bottom of the page link is bound to confuse people, too. State of California laws, and an address in Cyprus.... O_o

Whoa, how'd we go from GoG to this? Did I miss a left turn at Alberquerque again?

And it's good that the prices are in $$ because we Americans have a hard time with conversion rates....
For instance, I don't know what 30 degrees Celcius is; should I gut my Tauntaun to survive or is that hot enough to melt steel?
If prices were in Euros or British Pounds, I fear I'd have a debilitating aneurism trying to do math, even with a scientific calculator.
O_o

Damn it, and here I thought I'd finally found a way to spend those Reichsmarks that I obtained at the flea market.

I assume that it was similar when we signed up, even though it's recently been updated.

It's not that big of a deal, I was just somewhat surprised when I had a foreign transaction fee on my CC statement after my first order.

Here you go, a brand new (probably buggy, though it seems to work for me) "Preferred currency displaying script". Only for Greasemonkey so far - Opera and Chrome userscript developers are welcome to submit patches to get the thing working for them as well.

Direct download link here.

Previews of setting and display attached. Default currency is Euro, and there's almost 160 of them to choose between, I just hope that Yahoo recognises the codes for all of them.

NOTE: I explicitly disabled the script for The Witcher 2 (due to it having different prices depending on where you claim to live) and the free games (due to 0 being 0 no matter how you count, also they lack pricing information).

Very elegant! I'll give this a go now.

Great, complain of stuff doesn't work and I'll try to work out the kinks in the evening. I'm heading to bed now (it's almost 3 in the morning).

Excellent work :)

That's weird. I just installed it on the work computer, and it works as it should.

Although, note that - similar to The Witcher 2 - it only converts the price on the game page, not in the catalogue listing.

For me, it doesn't :-( I can't see even that list form to choose currency. Greasemonkey is working and the plugin is ticked as functional but nothing happens...

edit: oh.. it is working, yeah. local currency is shown with a little delay, but it works.

Yeah, it waits until the page has loaded, fetches the current conversion rate from Yahoo, then makes the conversion and displays it. Though it shouldn't take more than a couple seconds after loading, even on a relatively slow machine and connection.

The settings list is built dynamically from an array, so with almost 160 currencies that may take a short while on a slow machine.
