I like the euro and yen being down from where they were. Makes my importing waaaay easier. :P

Man... this affect me too. :-( I always turn to "Canadia" (VGP) for my North American imports. The euro is weak too nowadays, but in Canada at least I get a bit more value for money because of the low CAD.

DS2 is CAD$60 on Amazon.ca, btw.

Yeah, I definitely don't envy the European video game prices. It seem the PS4/Xbone prices also have risen compared to PS360. That didn't happen in North America.

Yeah, they sure have. Only in UK online stores are the game prices somewhat ok. But with the Euro being so weak to the Pound, there are less and less deals to be had anymore lately. About a year ago I would've preordered a game (like NISA handheld releases that hardly ever drop in price) that I really wanted at £25. Back then that was around €28 maybe or so. But nowadays that is almost €40 after conversion. Which is what stores on the mainland typically charge for a new handheld game, and which I basically have never ever paid in my life for one. I've been importing PAL/Euro games from the UK for around 10 years or so now, because of the huge price difference. But at this rate, I'm almost going to have to start looking locally again for my current and last gen games.

Anyway, I don't own a PS4 or XBone yet, so at least I'm not screwed in that department.

Rise of the Triad (2013) (PC) is FREE on GOG.com.

Be quick as they only hand out 30.000 keys.

Seems like it's already gone? If it's still live is there a special link required?

No, the banner for it was on the main page. I managed to get one.

Okay seems like it's dead then. I found that page. Oh well.

Weirdly I was able to get it now. Seems to be coming and going, very random.
