Hey everyone,
If i add funds to my steam wallet while at home (Belgium - Europe) and i got to UK, can i buy games there in their money?

Example: i put 20€ on steam wallet, i go to UK, can i buy games there at their price (in £)?

(PS: i want to buy Borderlands 2 4-pack, which is cheaper over there ;) )

EDIT: and if that wouldn't work, anyone that has idea's to get the UK price of BL2? :3

An option would be to get a trusted friend who lives in the UK to buy it for you.

True, but apart from a 4-pack, gmg would be the cheapest imo

Doesn't work but you can file a support ticket at steam to change the currency from € to £. Last time i did it, takes about 2-3 days for them to change your currency.

what do you mean with that? do they change the value of your wallet to £ then? :)

THat mean, the reason why you can't buy games in other regions is because your account is region locked, you need to ask the support to change the region on your account so the currency in your steam wallet should change too, because otherwise it would be stupid.

Yeah they do. For instance, when i stayed for a while at Southsea in UK, I added a few £ into my wallet. Then I went back to Malaysia and the steam currency here is in US Dollar. So I submitted a steam ticket and requested they change the remaining UK pounds into USD. I think the conversion rate was around 1£ = 1.5 something US $.
