Steam

So, I just installed a clean Win 8.1. Can I just use the existing steam installation? (It is in another drive).

And how is the games compatibility of Win 8.1?

My Win7 is corrupted so I will be deleting or re-installing soon. I am thinking about making Win 8.1, my main OS if it supports most of the games.

Yes you can.

yea, just install Steam and move the steamapps (google) folder to your new installation.

Windows 8.1 is great for games. Fast performance and I haven't faced any compatibility issues. Plus general performance is also much faster compared to Win 7. I honestly don't understand why so many people dislike it. Just install a very small software to bring your old start menu back and there you have it: a much faster win 7.

Just about every modern(ish) games works fine on Windows 8.1 now. You won't face any problem with compatibility.

Finally got hold of Steam Wallet card via GamersGift.com , they delivered it via mail within 5 minutes. ₹ 3,250 for a $50 card. about ₹ 180 more than exchange rate , but I don't mind that.

Can I buy one via SBI debit card?
And once you use that card in your steam account, can you
PM me the steps as well? I'm looking to get 1 too.

 

[thetechfreak]

^^ Yup your card will work fine...They take a few minutes to email code though..

Just enter the code where you otherwise a code to activate a game and press activate, you'll receive the Steam Wallet.

Used it for 2-3 times now and have no complaints.

Is your SBI Debit Card Mastercard/Visa or Maestro? I used MC Debitcard worked fine, not sure if maestro is supported.

once you purchase the wallet, you will receive a email (mine took 5 minutes) with the code (I think they do it manually).

after you get your number just goto steam Games> Redeem a steam wallet code > Enter your code and you are done.

 

[Piyush]

Yup, done. Sbi visa. Got the 10$ one as of now. Good service.

Is this Indian Site ?? I am asking because currently I can't do international transactions, thanks to BOI new terms and conditions about their DCs.

 

[Piyush]

Works flawlessly. Dont know about its origin. Taxes applicable.

Well then its good. Need a Indian VCC service, if anyone happen to know please point me to it.

This rate is good who are using entropay to buy games from steam. It is lower than entropay ($50*0.045*0.035= ₹3286.6632)

No, why don't u get a credit card I've seen ur steam profile you're regularly buying games from steam. If u have a job apply for one or convince ur parents to give an FD of 20k and take a secured card from sbi or icici

I am currently a student. Shh....Don't tell my parents that I buy so many games or my pocket money would be substantially reduced.

Did you took the backup of the games before formatting ??
If yes then just copy paste SteamApps folder and you are done
