Ya but many games these days need to be updated before playing to the latest version which downloads the whole game anyways, isn't it?

Yes, but at least with new games, the update sizes are much more reasonable. For Rome 2 Total War it was 2GB of updates. For AC4:BF, it was about 1.5GB. So the updates are about 10-20% of the size of total downloads. If you have an internet connection with 15-20GB of FUP, you can get the updates easily, but getting a full game or two will take you above the limit.

Max Payne 3 was the biggest culprit - 27GB of download!!! :shock:

if u cant do it, blame it all on indian tele companies, when whole world is upgrading, they r degrading (especially bsnl :/ ).

Agree to that. Actually digital copy is much better also as you have your whole collection with you all the time but the biggest PITA is the download and we can't really blame Steam or gaming companies for this. When in some country 512Kbps is everyone's right and here we are paying 1000INR for it every month.

Even if you were to spoof your IP, amazon will still trap you when it comes to payments. They'll check the origin country of your Credit Card.

And no, they don't accept Paypal. Its best to find an American friend and ask him to buy on your behalf and send you the key. Its how I got Dark Souls for cheap.

I have bought more than 20-30 games from Amazon for the past year. Don't spread wrong information.

In Billing address, give any valid US address. BTW, I think buying from steam sale is better than from Amazon.
