I think Googling will be the best option here, it's hard to tell from a US source if a game is US-region locked.

Sorry to state the obvious

Also comes w/ the game soundtracks in FLAC and MP3. Dungeon defenders alone is worth getting this for, the game is phenomenal. Haven't even cracked open the others yet.

Good thing there is no timer on it, gonna see if Steam has a lower price during the sale.

Anyone got promo codes that could work on GoG?

I wanted to post that video.
Bah, humbug.

Cool tips. Mine come down to:
  • The first 3 hours of the sale = "Error 503" everywhere.
  • Be patient, your game will be at 75% off eventually.
  • Have cash ready, BEFORE the sale starts (preferably in your Steam wallet).
  • BE PATIENT, your game WILL BE at 75% off EVENTUALLY.
  • Wait until the very last day for your desired game to be at 75%, if needed, don't give in.
  • Buy HIB 7.

They should have "internet" time. Make all this time zone stuff so much simpler.
