I recall being billed in dollars when I bought Jagged Alliance 2. So the price you will see on GOG will be in dollars and, I think, on your bank/credit card statement you will see a withdrawal in your country's currency.

Yeah, I bought JA2 when it was on sale for about $2.49 and then I looked at my card and it was around 9 PLN + whatever exchange rate fees your CC/bank takes out.

witcher 2 is another story. Because of legal reasons, this one is shown in different currencies. For me, it is shown up in € and the game costs double of the US price (but would get in-story credits for each $ spent more.

Because of that, I made a quick virtual trip to the USA, to get the US$ Price :)

I forgot about Witcher 2 being the exception to the general rule.

Witcher 2 has higher regional pricing in Europe and Australia, due to some regrettable pricing agreements with publishers.

Everywhere else (and I believe that includes anywhere in Asia you could place an order from), the price is the same and is billed in US dollars.

so that means it's 44.99 USD converted to whatever exchange rates that my credit card bank is offering right? as it stands now it's 1 USD = 1.24550 SGD
so i figure its ard $57 in my currency...still cheaper than retail in singapore, last i checked the retail copy is going for $59!

when it is listed as $44.99, you only pay that (depending on paying by Credit Card or PayPal), your Bank or PayPal will take care of the currency exchange as you will only pay the price is listed for you.
