S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky Price?

[Wellington]

So I just finished SoC and now I want Clear Sky (I don't want to hear about how terrible it is) but I can not find it anywhere (I live in Canada by the way). I hear it's $10 at Best Buy in the US and it's $35 off Steam. So my question is is the Steam price accurate to what it is in most stores in the US? Or is $10 the standard price for it at say Gamestop? It's $45 at an EB Games in Canada (Gamestop). Should I pay that much for Clear Sky? Or should I find it for $10 somewhere? Also with the latest patches how bad are the bugs? Thanks.

I think that it is the standard price.

I recommend buying through Steam since you never get your game fucked up,if you remove something it's going to download it back in few seconds.
So you don't have to re-install whole game.
CDs can break.....

Btw people this is IMO

Okay, talk to me about Clear Sky and it's DRM and also the bugs.

Stalker, I has it.

The DRM allows you to only install the game a maximum of 5 times.

Game is worth it's money , clear sky is really fun.
But Strelok is still sexier than Scar.

Steam's massive holiday sale has now concluded but for a time during the holiday period two games distributed by Steam, the first person shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky and the space sim X3: Terran Conflict had some activation issues caused by their use of the TAGES DRM service.

Shacknews reports that the price cuts of the Steam holiday sale caused a surge in game purchases. As a result a number of people on the Steam forums complained that the DRM activation servers for both games were causing problems with activation for first time players. However those issues have now apparently been resolved. While many games distributed by Steam have no third party DRM a number of other titles still use their retail DRM set-up. It looks like more and more publishers will use Steam as their DRM protection only such as THQ's PC port of Saints Row 2.

Its over :D

EDIT: 100th POST! YAY!!

Learn how to read posts idiot.

Alright well I got it in stores, hopefully it's not to buggy after some patches.... :l
Also I read online that the DRM Tages only let's you install it 5 times even on the same computer! Is this true? Is there a way to de-authorize to free up an install or if I install 5 times I'm done?! Answers please.

No, actually I did. But I couldn't find any definite answers so I decided to ask in the forums where people who ACTUALLY HAVE the game can give me a DEFINITE answer. KTHXBYE

You don't need to know how much it costs if you use torrents <3.
