Russia is cheap but blocked from some games.

So, in russia prices are always approximately 3 times cheaper than in USA. Retail BLACK OPS costs 500 RUR = 16,6 USD, Risen costs 149 rur = 5 usd now with -50% in steam. But we are cut off from some nice games. We can't have any of BETHESDA's games (exept for retail skyrim, 500 rur). I'd pay full us price for FALLOUT NV, but i cant. It's like they don't want my money. WTF, bethesda? WTF, valve?

No, for now a have zero wins at steamgifts. OK, I`m nooooob.
Other way based, I thing so, on fact that the "first price" of the publisher (i mean cd\dvd\br) always cheaper than we, end-users, can buy at shops.

Oh, you know how to buy single copy for personal usage directly from publisher with retailer's discount? Great news.
I'm ready to listen how to do it.

Not,unfortunately - just buying at online shops that do little raise of price and you can buy cheaper then at Steam.

Сan I will not say where this stores are?

I want to earn a bit on this, but if I say where to buy... It still be cheaper than, for example, to buy in Steam.

Edited after 3 hours _____

Veidali - thx for your question now I know show buy with retailer`s doscount (up to 50%) - you must be -retailer- =).

Skyrim RU works only from russian ip (or VPN)!

VNP needed for activation AND to start the game, too!

You think european prices are the worst? Check out UK prices...
1GBP > 1EURO > 1USD but it they still look at it like 1GBP = 1USD
I'd like to do some trading as well :) especially since Thanksgiving / Christmas / NewYear sales are about to begin and I will soon have some extra cash on PayPal.

Name one? I have seen only some indie games cheaper in the UK than in USA. Other than that, games like Modern Warafe 3 are treated like 50 GBP = 50 USD although theres like 35-40% difference.

Well right now there's the GTA complete, far cry 2 complete, arkham asylum goty, Civ 4, rage, literally all the company complete packs, crysis, mass effect and Skyrim. and that's only most of the big name games. I wouldn't complain, could easily be worse.

Don't you have some company that bought the license to all bethesda games? I heard that was why they aren't on steam. Sucks man :(

It's painful to look at SteamPrices and see just how significantly cheaper it is to buy games in Russia. Curses!

What is that? When someone send you money, you buy him the game as a gift? What do you want for this service?

Yeah, you can't actually accept gifts from Russians unless you yourself are Russian, unfortunately.

LMAO due to name of the topic. "Russia is cheap" sounds like "Rossiya vperde", lol. Well, at least you can trade, and we also have all offs. Example: a game costs 60 bucks in the US and 30 bucks in Russia. Its publisher decides to make some sale with 33% off. Its price during the sale is 40 bucks for the US and 20 for Russia. Is it so bad to have some games locked? Steam Trade disagrees with you and says "no!"

p.s. FALLOUT: NV is available as Steam-activatable retail there. Just to inform you, dawg.

I would caution all users who purchase the Russian versions of games. Though many games do work without issues, when they do not work you are in for a world of hurt.

BF3/MW3/Skyrim all have had major problems with the Russian versions.

Personally I use Steam for convenience. The problems and required workarounds are exactly the opposite things I want to deal with. Especially having to download English/French/German languages from mediafire

But if you activate gift code from russian steam it must be like you buy this games yourseft.

So, nobody want save money to buy from me russian steam gift codes?

P.S. MW3 price is 60$ = 1800 RUR, on russioan steam price is 899 RUR = 30$

P.S.S I need money to feed my bear, need new strings for balalaika. Russian Ivan is sad without balalaika... and vodka.
