wow awesome deal on FC2. I was going to get fallout 3 and wait a while for Far Cry, but at 45, why the hell not! The map editor alone is reason to buy

Anyone know if the import version of Farcry 2 has "activation"? The U.S. version does of course so I can't buy it.

I'll buy the 360 or PS3 one instead, I guess, but I'd rather buy the PC one if it lacks "activation".

I've never had any problems with the wireless PC reciever. Works great with a lot of games, including Crysis, Bioshock, Far Cry 2, and Fallout 3.

If you pick it up, also get xpadder (www.xpadder.com). Allows the controller to emulate keyboard and mouse.

seems like the UK manager detailed the protection, I really don't see it being any different in the USA.

I would expect all kinds to have activation.

Gr, was on the fence for it at normal price at gogamer at ~$43 shipped. Would have bought it at $25+shipping! Too bad it seems it's OOS and back to normal price :(

Okay, thanks! I figured it would be the same, but hey, sometimes one version will be infected and the other is safe to buy.

Oh well, I'll just go for the 360 version I guess since it's cheaper than the PS3 one.

Sorry about that. Thanks for the update. I've struck through it in the OOP (but I left the link for quick access, in case it comes back).

Did a quick search and didn't find anything. I really wish I had some spare cash to pick this up, because that's a great price...

Nice find.

It's on the first page still.

Ah, missed it. Someone can delete this if they like.

If this is like their Brother in Arms sale, the price was great but I got a copy of the game made in Malaysia not the US. Don't know if anyone cares about that, but I figure it's worth mentioning.

Why is the import version of Farcry cheaper? What makes it any different?

exchange rate?

my only guess is that import versions could be cheaper because there was overstock?

no clue... really.. none...

I might just pick up FC. That's a damn good and tempting price. I wasn't planning on getting it until seeing this here. Normally gogamer has coupons. anybody know of any.

Dang, I of course WANT the PC Farcry, but it's infected...then I thought I'd pick up the 360 one, until I actually read reviews.

The part about having to break through the same checkpoints, and fight the same jeep of people coming after you again and again and again and again and again and again... sounds hideous.

The one review I read said it almost gets funny. Sounds like a lot of the rest of it is really really good, but it's brought down by some really stupid design decisions.

Shipping at bestsku is high, $7 is the cheapest I can get unless there is a free shipping code.

Uh, normally GoGamer DOESN'T have any coupons.

Its been this way for "grey market" games for as long as I can remember. They price different for different regions.

Yeah, I can't remember any coupons with Gogamer, though their prices are usually good. Love that store!

Between even just Gogamer, Newegg, and Amazon... (I spend too much money...then add Toys R Us in there!)
