mc-dexter · Dec 20, 2008, 03:04 PM

MoonPig · Dec 20, 2008, 03:06 PM

This is amazing. Anyone who hasn't got it, buy it now.

Wozzer · Dec 20, 2008, 03:07 PM

I'd love it - But you have to download the bloody thing. God I hate download limits !

3870x2 · Dec 20, 2008, 03:08 PM

what is the limit? i can do up to 1.1MB/s but not too many companies serve beyond 700KB/s

Wozzer · Dec 20, 2008, 03:17 PM

Well - I've either got a 2GB (Per month) or 10GB (Per month) limit with BT, I'm not sure which one, I forget now. Sucks.

And with 4 other people using the internet, I've really gotta be careful with what I download.

alexp999 · Dec 20, 2008, 03:46 PM

Getting 600Kb/s through BT, and my dad is playing Eve Online

Love not having D/L limits.
Cant wait to actually play the game tho, lol.

lol I work for BT (well kinda, im a consultant they hired). I believe it depends on which tier you have. I don't know the specifics, as I don't deal with any contract stuff just some of their internal software, but I think the 10GB per month is the top tier.

mc-dexter · Dec 20, 2008, 04:21 PM

BT Mobile Internet, have a look at that

Option 1 is 10gb limit

Option 2 is 15gb limit

Option 3 is unlimited <- What I have

HolyCow02 · Dec 20, 2008, 04:26 PM

And ^^ that's why I deal with software and not customers

I am downloading now, at 3.1 MB/s

silkstone · Dec 20, 2008, 04:43 PM

BT suck, i got fired because i was too good at my job

Well actually it was because my manager didn't like me (i went home early after a 12hr shift 'cos my eyes were hurting), but it the reason they used was i was too good at my job.

That does suck, but lets keep it on topic, this is about Stalker and steam deals. Dont want the mods to get angry

I'm at 94%

Yup, sorry. after the crap steam just pulled they need to be pulling some deals outta the bag (OT again??)

Sounds like a good deal, i'd go for it, but there is no way to get software legally where i live.
Even using steam

mc-dexter · Dec 20, 2008, 04:58 PM

hows is there no way of getting software legally? :s

I am unable to get a CC and it's not sold legally. Transfers out of the country also entail a great deal of money and paperwork too

T-Bob · Dec 20, 2008, 05:12 PM

Yeah Stalker SOC Rocks! Its a great fsp/rpg game and this is an unreal price.

alexp999 · Dec 20, 2008, 05:27 PM
