GTX660m is about as powerful as GT550, which is not powerful at all.

Indeed my friend. That is what I think too. He must be surely trolling big times.

It handles most last gen AAA game just fine, because they are not very demanding.
I tried Witcher 2 on 1080p, I can barely hold 30fps on the lowest settings.
Oh I thought EU couldn't play till the 21st?
I'm assuming preload is worldwide. But if you check Origin, it should tell you when you can start preloading.
Like I said, check your Origin, I think pre-load date might be the 14th also. If not... VPN? Might wanna ask JaseC that.

I'm really not a fan of the way Steam changed the community market a while back. It used to be pretty quick, throw up a card for the lowest price and it would sell fairly quickly. (unless it was an expensive foil) Now it seems like people are content to throw up super low buy orders and just wait. One of the cards I'm trying to sell has a thirty cent difference between the lowest price on the market and the highest buy order.
30c is a big difference though.

Well, as a buyer I appreciated it when I decided to pick up all the Binding of Isaac foils the other day ready for the Winter Sale. Put up a bunch of buy orders that were a lot lower that the lowest selling price and with all the time in the world to wait ended up getting them all for a lot cheaper than if I'd decided to buy them there and then.
Bear in mind that the cards only have the value that buyers assign to them. Just because everybody's put them up at 30c higher doesn't mean that's what they're worth to people.

That's sort of my point, I understand some people don't want to pay that much for cards, but I liked the market a lot better when I only had to deal with undercutting, instead of undercutting and lowballing.

Only if I get a 458 too.
Played Risk of Rain last night thanks to a generous giver 
loved it. Have no idea what you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to survive longer than 10 minutes but it's awesome the style and sound is really cool. I will probably have to watch a quick guide but I always like to jump in heads first and see how far I can get.
Also works with a controller so I'm very happy

so I'm very happyThe funniest part about "buying orders", many of them are lies as I found out accidentally some time ago. I'm not sure how it works, maybe people have no money in their wallets, but it happened to me several times that I bought a cards that hundreds or thousand orders were already in place when I submitted mine.
So you basically can't rely on that info. When the difference in price is huge, check how many cards are sold and for what price that day to see if you have any chance of selling it. Usually you have no chances if price difference is more than 0.10, it's even true about foils, unfortunately. Oh you can get lucky, but I disregard that because it never happens to me (><)
You should be able to get a refund before the game come out. I haven't try it yet, nor do I have a reason to. Why are you so upset?
I was beginning to wonder if EA would start to crack down on cross-region purchasing.
Edit: Unless you're asking because you're curious and your order hasn't been cancelled.
I doubt it (assuming Origin pre-loads are staggered, which would be stupid). Those who pre-ordered Unity from Origin IN had to wait until the game's actual IN release date before they could get their key.

Gracias.
I'm not sure it is only an update that changed things. There are so much more factors, the number of cards increase all the time, for example, unless a game is really unpopular or not available anymore. Then there is idle master to consider, easiness to get those cards. And then as I said, many of those orders of super low price buyers aren't even real.
It's one way to stop crossregion buying I guess (><)
Nope, they just issued a refund, the game isn't in my account anymore.

I was also wondering about the number of cards available. In the old set up I remember seeing pages and pages of listings for cards for all sorts of games. A couple of the cards I'm selling have less than 15 of them on the market according to Steam. Where did they all go?

I think it varies from game to game. Trying to get value out of cards from a game bought in the latest humble bundle is futile, because the market is just flooded. Compare that to the number of listings for cards of new full-price releases or lesser known games.
I generally find that I can sell all my cards, even without looking at any buy orders, just the sell prices. Some are gone quick, some take a couple days/weeks to be sold, but eventually, they always go.

Yeah, my Origin says 17th per preload and 20th for release. I'll certainly try to use a VPN to play it before the 20th, but yeah, I'll need to check if it's possible to preload early (I kinda doubt it).
Ah, thanks Jase
I thought it would be so.
Hoarding for impending sales, of course.
it works for cheap cards, not for new games cards, though. I have to relist them many times lowering price usually before they sell. Then again I could start low to sell at once, but if we can't make money off new games cards, then we can't make them at all (><)

SEGA is like Twoface. On the one hand we have the fantastic surprise port of Valkyria Chronicles and on the other hand there is this weird Sonic thingie.
Will the game good, will it be shit, everything decided with the flip of a coin.

Whenever Lashman winks, a kitten dies.I get a chill down my spine whenever lashman use this.
Don't worry my ostrichised brothers and sisters I'm standing with you...
Speaking of Ass Creed, I'm half tempted to do something incredible stupid next year and play through them all again, 100% synch the lot and have a look at how things have changed over the years, for the better and for the worse.
Although Great Britain and the United Kingdom? Come on Valve make your mind up. Either use UK or GB and Northern Ireland.

Don't give Jase ideas, we might loose him for a few months.
that's not stupid
that's downright insane! (><)
true... but these are rare, meaning you have to be Jasec to get them at all, it's even less likely than selling expensive foils

Anyone know of the best price for Lego Batman 3? It's around £11.99 on Nuuvem but I can't tell if it's region-locked...
Well I had this really cool idea that I'm not sure I want to say anything about just yet but it was going to involve a lot of gifs and having to play every pigging game again. I thought while I was there might as well play them.
Steam keys are not region locked, although there are some exceptions. But most of them are region free and Lego Batman 3 is one of them

Just saw the email, figured I'd share the info.
ya, no harm in repeating, also it's possible to get Witcher 2 and The Gamers movie for free by "collecting stamps"

finished Blood Dragon. Fun, but it lives and dies by the 80s motif, and when that wears off, the game gets old fast. I actually did everything and would advise against it, probably just doing the 8 story missions is a better experience. then again, the game would be like 1-2 hours long at that point and you would have no weapon upgrades or anything, so it might be hard.
well worth the 15 it came out at tho, not to mention the 5 bones or whatever most of us got it for from the various sales

Bugger. How does it feel to be made example of?
Yes.
I'd play through the Ezio trilogy again if we get "next-gen" Renaissance Italy.
The first couple of games had puzzle sections(glyphs) that are pretty much gone now. I enjoyed having those bits.

It's nothing new don't forget about the "fight" between SoA and SoJ, so I guess they still must be divided and that makes the company kind of looks like schizofrenic.
I loved those puzzles as well. It's the thing I miss most from 2 and Brotherhood :/
