Which is why I always buy games on Steam, at US prices.

Because ...

£ and Euro prices have TAX included in the price. In America the TAX is added later, so the price you see in $ does NOT include TAX.

It isn't? that's the prices Valve told us :-/

Looks like Stranger's Wrath for PC got gold. Not really sure what that means but hey seems like good news!

If a game is announced as "going gold", that means they've fully developed and tested the final build of the game, meaning they've got the version of the game they're going to release.

I'm so excited all of a sudden.

Are those updated renders or just old publicity images Photoshopped for Christmas?

:) See for yourself - it's not a discounted price, I think

Dunno about TAXes though

Man, he is one classy guy. I think that we are very lucky to have JAW working on Oddworld's stuff.

ODDWORLD INHABITANTS’ ODDBOXX: STEAM DECEMBER 20TH RELEASE DATE CONFIRMATION !

http://www.oddworld.com/?p=292

WWWOWW! IM gonna go to the bank....

Not only that but they're participating in the Steam holiday sale. 50% off during the first day -- are they freaking kidding me?? $12.50 for the entire Oddbox??!? :eek:

I wonder if it will be possible to pre-order, I'm out of town the day oddbox is released and knowing how steam releases games it probably won't be available for purchase until like in the middle of the day...

It will be on sale for 25% off the entire duration of the Steam sale (Dec 21 - Jan 3, skipping the first day where it's 50% off), so if you're in town at any time during the sale it'd be better to just buy it then anyway.

yeah i cant belive it,im gonna collect money right now

what are the system reqirements for mo and sw?

i have a shitty laptop whith intel's graphich card and i can not play new games on it.

I'm kind of wondering this too. Has there been any word on this?

If not: Gilrod, could you please shed some light on the subject? Or will we just have to wait until the games are available for purchase to find out?

I'm going to estimate you'd need the following:
At least a 1.8ghz core duo processor equivalent. (3.2ghz single core, 0.9ghz Quad)

At least a 256gb Graphics card with direct X 9 (Intel integrated will probably be do-able)
512 ram.

Put it simply:
Low end netbook: Not capable
High end netbook: Capable
Notebook >5 years old: Probably not
Notebook <5 years old: Capable
Desktop >7 years old: Probably not
Desktop <7 years old: Capable.

This is just an educated guess don't trust it 100%.

Bear in mind that they were written for Xbox hardware.

Woot!

No way. 3.2 GHz is nearly X360 processor (if I remember well), and it's next gen console. Xbox wasn't so powerful.

And when I get stranger I will write drivers for wiimote right away. I can't imagine playing FPSes (?) with mouse or with controller. Pointer RLZ :D

dang,afther all time i was excited when i heard it is gonna come,till yesterday and tommorow i dont feel any excitement :/
