I was wondering, is there a place where I can buy and download every single game from the Myst Series?
The closer the deal to GOG's deals, the better, mind you. ;)
I'd like to have them all (the 5 main games, that is). Currently I only own Myst Masterpiece Edition.

Amazon has the 10th Anniversary Myst Series DVD. http://www.amazon.com/Myst-10th-Anniversary-DVD-Pc/dp/B0000AFWWH/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_1_txt/175-5291928-1863469?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-2&pf_rd_r=1HSH1Q1524RNT14GHT73&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=304485601&pf_rd_i=0761528946. You can't download it but it's 20 dollars and free shipping...

Free shipping only if he purchases something else so that it bumps it up to over $25, unless Amazon has changed its policy and I haven't noticed.

Still not a bad deal for $25 don't you think?

Oh I agree, I just didn't want him to get pumped and then disappointed. Usually when I order from Amazon I just wait till I have a couple of things that I want and then I order.

One thing that troubles me is the fact he/she is in Brazil. Granted he/she's on the same side of the pond as we are but I don't know much about Amazon's international shipping policy...

Unless explicitly stated on the product page, they will ship to a wide selection of countries (all the details for which -- including shipping, which is not free -- are listed in their FAQs).
Product pages will usually contain information such as the following:
Shipping: This item is also available for shipping to select countries outside the U.S.
They even have a dedicated "store"[url]http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=dp_brlad_entry?ie=UTF8&node=345747011]"store"[url] for international game sales. Usually linked somewhere within the product pages for games.

First, I'm a Male.
That said, well, Amazon ships stuff to Brasil without a problem. The Lab where I work buys books from them quite frequently.
But I really was interested in something more practical, as a download. Of couse, if I did happen to find that package around here in a store, I'd buy. But as a download I can wait until the dollar is at a better value and until I have the proper money to spend.
Also, I really wanted the 5 games together.
I could find the first 3 games plus realMyst and URU in GameTap, but their bussiness model doesn't please me.
But thanks for the help guys.
EDIT: Added my votes to the Wishlist. ;)

It´s not all of them, but more than nothing:
Myst III: Exile [url=http://digitalstore.ubi.com/23/product/Buy-Myst-III:-Exile-Download]http://digitalstore.ubi.com/23/product/Buy-Myst-III:-Exile-Download[/url]
URU: Ages Beyond MYST (single player only): [url=http://digitalstore.ubi.com/19/product/Buy-URU:-Ages-Beyond-MYST-Download]http://digitalstore.ubi.com/19/product/Buy-URU:-Ages-Beyond-MYST-Download[/url]
Some titles at Ubisoft Digital Store clearly list they contain DRM, these don't.
I assume it means they're DRM free, but I'm not completely sure.
I found even more at Direct2Drive, but from what I know and could find with google is that they use DRM.

Thanks for the effort HertogJan.
But I'm in Brasil, those guys over D2D and over Ubisoft won't sell it to me. Besides... there isn't the possiblity to get all games. Whitch is a shame.

Yeah, but Amazon handles different products differently. Books will ship anywhere pretty much, while DVDs, CDs and games ship to fewer places. Games even go as far to differ according to the game. For example, most EA games are US only during their first 6 months of release or so, before becoming available for international shipping.
This is why you always need to read their shipping FAQ before making an international purchase as it changes regularly.

I wasn't planning to buy anything there, but that's a good observation. Thanks!

The ones I posted were the ones I could find for legal download.
I didn't link to D2D as it seems to use some very unfriendly DRM.
As for Ubisoft I could find no mention of them not selling outside Northern America.
There's no mentioning of such in their terms of use.

On the site there's a message saying that " This title is available for purchase in North America only.."

I didn't notice that.
Not sure if the same goes on for D2D, but if you google for them in combination with DRM you're not getting encouraging hits.
I would stay away from it.
Apparently us gamers in the rest of the world aren't allowed to spend our money on their games.
That's their choice.
