That sucks. I was able to get some games cheap. COD AW for $20 a week after release, alien isolation $20. Assetto Corsa $20.

This has always been kind of lame, but you know what...there's nothing to stop you from pirating the game, enjoying it, and waiting for the price to drop in your native country and then buying it at the price you want it. I think that's a super effective way of everyone getting what they want.

It's about time. I've had countless issues due to a lack of region locking. Good to see they've gotten this resolved.
