Its fantastic on the iPhone 5. Its a slow paced "do X in Y turns" game so I can't imagine a huge difference between a phone and tablet version.

So, judging from the DC club thread there's enough for at least one, possibly 2 AusGAF DC teams.
Now all we need is the game.
In other news...rainy eh? Do the QLD or NSW driving test teach how you shouldn't tailgate generally and specifically when it's raining so had you can't see cars 20-30m ahead? Or that using rear foglights I such conditions is a good idea?
Scary drive up from Byron this afternoon thanks to several Ute drivers clearly thinking that driving on my rear bumper was the only way to see me, and about half the drivers thinking 'Oh it's daytime I don't need to use my lights.'
Still, Byron was lovely, I've just eaten a beef & bacon Yatala pie and I'm back with my family after a week away
Crashes galore, have seen 2 since it's started raining.
Good choice of pie.

I have gotten my DSE stuff within 2 days. I have ordered 4 times from them. It's only 4.95 postage for 2 items, not $9.90. edit: some people are reporting free postage though which i call BS on.

Same for me. This is some serious bullshit, it's even region locked.
It's cheaper at dick smith at the moment
Yeah.
a) I don't want to risk having to wait even a day longer to play Driveclub. Honestly, going to be taking a day or two off for that shit. So excite.
b) The limited tin case version looks boss as hell. So I can't give that up.

Gazunta has asked people to post their speedtest.net results on his facebook wall. He's doing some sort of survey.
2k. One of the worst for regional pricing. Should have been paying attention last night when I posted

Where is the tin case from? All those games will probably be $60 in store anyway, I only jumped on the Diablo deal because it was $55 (sucks I miss out on the first week of ambient MP stuff though).

Driveclub will be retail for me, internet is way too slow out here!
Don't worry, should be able to grab a key in the buy/sell thread at some point soon.

Any Ausgaffers own or drive a Mini? As in BMW-era.
Yeah i could resist on that GTAV and Advanced Warfare deal for PS4, works out to about 62.50 per game when you include postage.
I should of mentioned the code is for anything over $99 to $299 so you can do it with released games aswell but it's killer deal for pre-order stuff.

On Friday, our NBN died, taking the telephone line with it. Called up support, they're sending out a team to fix it... on Tuesday.

Civ beyond earth (lol australian pricing) and Sunset Overdrive get.
Wish I hadn't already preordered Halo MCC from them for 10 more.

How does steam work with retail games? Can you just redeem the code?
I'm in need of a new router, the range of the current one is a joke so I've been looking at a few and am ready to bite the bullet, they're all around 200$ which is fine, I'd just like to know if it will actually do what I'd want it to do. What would be the best shop to get it from/return it if it doesn't work properly.

When you install the game it goes through steam. Think Half Life 2 retail disc back in '04. At least, that's the way it worked for Civ 5. I'm assuming Beyond Earth is going to be in the same boat, a steamworks title.
Thanks, will pre-order through DS as well, seeing as it's unlikely to be cheaper for a while
Bummed I missed out. 2k are so annoying..reminds me of how I had to get US friends to gift me Civ5 to get around the criminal local pricing.
Having to in theory buy the game on disc. Is like going back to the stone age.
It's utter horseshit and there is no good reason except for plain price gouging. There is no shipping costs, currency difference is nowhere near that much nor can they really fall back on the "keeping retail happy" for a game only on PC which barely has a retail presence any more.

Beyond Earth Steam code is still $50 (with $5 coupon upon release) via Amazon if you're OK with pretending you're American.
Am I the only one who gets really paranoid when doing this?

Don't, Amazon have been promoting this for years now. Zero issues for people outside the US using a US billing address for digital content.
They don't care, they get their money and there is no negative for them. They like money!

Yeah I've bought a ton of stuff from Amazon like that. It's not a problem on that front. I'm not sure if Civ: BE has cross-region flags though, so you might want to look into it before buying. Try asking in the Steam thread, JaceC knows everything.
I bought an uncensored copy of South Park: Stick of Truth, but had to actually give my account details to someone in America to log in and register the key for me. VPN is also a possibility but either way it's a pain if they clamp down on it.

I know the russian version is locked, I checked with my usual guy from the buy and sell section and he told me he'd prefer not to sell it. It could be done, but it would be tricky

This is a good point. Before buying Steam games from other sources, always check!

No, but some games have certain flags (at the discression of the publisher) which can prevent cross-region gifting. This can happen to certain regions but not others, e.g. Russians can't share with the rest of the world in some cases. For South Park, non-Australian keys couldn't be activated in Australia.
I think they did, just ordered everything from them last week and couldn't find the service anymore. I remember last year they charged 100$ for assembly and included an aftermarket heatsink/watercooling.
That said building one yourself is really easy, I had little to no experience and the guys from "i need a new pc" were really helpful.
That really sucks they got rid of it.
I don't really have time to build it right now.
