I have to chime in and say that SPAZ deserves more love.

FTL!
Can you give us any clues as to what sort of games you enjoy though? Otherwise we're all just going to tell you games that we like, not knowing what small games you own or what genres you like.
Been eyeing this game for a little while, so I'll probably pick it up based on GAF recommendations and curiosity.
As for the type of games I like, I pretty much enjoy all types of games. However I've been on an RPG kick lately (both Western and Japanese).
I actually have this, I just haven't started it up for whatever reason. I'll give it a shot!
Thanks everyone!
That happens in Uruguay too? Fuck, I thought you guys were much better than us.

damn.
Still can't believe you did it XD

Well, generally we are better off in tech stuff, but not in pc hardware, weirdly enough. I remember cell phones and TVs being notably more expensive in Argentina, yet pc parts cost a lot less there.
There is one thing that is pretty cool now, is that a new decree allows imports of stuff just a bit under $200, so some things will be easier and cheaper to get, like SSDs
I ordered NINE PS3 games in one package, worth about 150 (and said so on the box). Got home with no issues
A workmate got a SSD the same way, no issues either.
Obviously, as long as you use a private courier...
I don't know about PC parts, it's been 3 years since I last bought anything, except a 2 TB WD Caviar Green that I got for $184 a couple of months ago, so I'm pretty much outdated with pricing. But everything else is a steal, many stores are still charging $450 or more for a 160 GB PS3.
That decree is for importing without paying taxes? Here I think the limit is $300, but I wouldn't trust that at all. Knew about a guy who bought a Kindle (100 bucks) and was asked at customs to pay a 200% tax, just because. He complained, so the guy lowered it to 150%, but he told him he wasn't going to give money to a scammer, and left without the Kindle. Sadly those stories are not uncommon here, and now the government has put a 15% tax on purchases in foreign currency when using credit cards. That, coupled with the ever increasing amount of importing restrictions, is making the prices go higher and higher.

Nice upgrade Salsa. I am thinking of getting rid of my 6950 for that card

Isn't the 660 or the 660ti closer to that? The performance/price sweet spot.
Yes. But then you get into the argument of some people saying how much the 660ti sucks compared to the other two.
It doesn't.
Did they ever implement skin/model damage in TW2? That was one of my favourite things about the first game. Was so nice not to use health bars and whatnot...you could tell how close an enemy was to death by how fucked up they looked. lol
No idea, I'm rarely looking at any enemy specifically.

Yeah I can't read.
Thought this was worth mentioning in this thread:

With the THQ weekend sale, I was thinking about buying:
Homefront + Prima Guide pack - $17.99
Homefront - The Rock Map Pack - $2.49
Homefront - Express 870 Shotgun DLC - $0.49
Homefront Fire Sale Map Pack - $1.49
All of that is only $21.96. My question is this: is Homefront any fun? The premise always seemed interesting to me. Turns out it runs pretty decently in Wine as well.

About damn time. What are you going to do with your 560Ti? I relegated my 570 to PhysX until I can be bothered to flog it off on eBay and purchase another 670. I know the usefulness of having a dedicated card varies game to game, with performance improvements being largely miniscule, but since I had it laying around, I figured, "Why not?"

No. Just no.
selling it, fan broken and I dont feel like fixing it. Physx aint worth the hassle
That bad huh?

Nope, not worth it. It's only 3 hours long and at the end you'll wonder why they shipped only one third of a campaign. If you must have it, wait for a 5$ sale on the base game and forget about the DLC altogether.
Ok, thanks. Nah, I'll pass on it then.
Ah, fair enough.
also that shit would get hot and loud. Im way too touchy about that stuff
cant believe you're dealing with the ref 670's loudness

I also bought a couple of 120mm fans for the side of my case to combat the heat -- under full load, the 670, which I've overclocked (+106MHz on the core clocks and +100MHz (200MHz effective) on the memory), doesn't even hit 60 degrees. And the noise doesn't bother me as I prefer headphones to speakers (and it isn't annoyingly high, anyway).
I really to get some better airflow in my case..

And in any case, Wait For The Daily Deals applies, since I would not be surprised at all if it became on of the 75% off deals.

You could wait for that to hit like a dollar.
I payed $2 for Homefront, and that's about what it's worth.

Sanctum's a great game, more fun when played with friends.

Don't buy that for 19 bucks.
booyah
My 670 arrived last week here and I yet to install it.
It cost me fucking 1400 reais, which is the brazilian currency, equivalent to $700 dollars.
Fuck taxes goddamn.
3 years of good service wll be enough for me.

GTX 670 is like $600 here in Chile.
Expensive as fuck, but It's probably the cheapest price in the region.
Edit: Actually, I just found out you can get it for $562.

If you're going to buy Sanctum, get it off Gamersgate. It's 3 bucks. The collection is a little over $5.
