Have you yet to experience the tense, suspenseful, exhilarating multiplayer game-play that is the Left 4 Dead series?

Well, here's your chance to get the latest game in the series for less than $7 and see what the fuss is all about!

New content is still being produced for the game, with new game-play modes, downloadable content and community maps so spending $7 on this game will provide a hell lot of replay and entertainment value with still more to come.

*** WARNING ***

Simply purchasing the game normally will result in the download of a censored version for Australian customers.

For instructions on how to get the uncensored version of Left 4 Dead 2, please take a look at the discussion in a previous similar deal here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/32227

P.S. Fan of horror first-person shooters? Check out the 50% sale on the F.E.A.R collection here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/47204
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6946/

The F.E.A.R series has garnered very high review scores and for this weekend, steam is having a 50% off sale for the bundled collection in anticipation of the new game in the series, F.E.A.R 3 (not included in sale).

I'm not sure if there's a censored version that Australian customers will get (like Left 4 Dead 2) so if someone knows for sure, please let us know.

    I think FEAR is more interesting. $10 from the steam store for 1 and 2.
    L4D2 has been on sale for many times at this price.

    • LedCop on 18/06/2011 - 14:00

      Haha, I just posted that deal too.

      For sheer horror & shock value, story, and 'unconventionalness', I would agree with you.

      I haven't played FEAR 2's multi-player yet but Left 4 Dead 2 is all about the multi-player and the high level of teamwork and cooperation needed among the 4 players per side to win seems unmatched by any other game that I know of.

      So yeah, for a cinematic single-player experience, go for the F.E.A.R series.

      For a deeply multi-player game where each player really depends on his/her teammates, go for L4D, IMHO.

    • Lord_Sif on 18/06/2011 - 23:11

      really?
      call scripted events happening once every so often (that do nothing to you), interesting?

      At one point I was scared a little in game, with those invisible guys, once their patterns were clear however it was just back to mediocre FPS… meh ive heard of people scared of f.e.a.r., but i could see through after the first 30 seconds… scarey is when your actual progression is in danger

      of course L4D2 might not be much better either way

  • johnno07 on 18/06/2011 - 13:51

    IMO you are better off buying L4D2 through the US Steam site (not sure on price). The Australian censored version is crap.

    • LedCop on 18/06/2011 - 13:53

      My link isn't for the US steam site?

    • samfisher5986 on 18/06/2011 - 14:01

      Its very difficult and dangerous to attempt to buy from the US steam site.

        Hey samfisher I feel like we have agreed before on the preciousness of our steam accounts (on a deal from one of those somewhat dodgy CD key websites) but I didn't have any qualms about buying through the US site - at least it is a legit version.

  • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 14:26

    Still, anyone wanna do a 4 pack!?

    • Aang on 18/06/2011 - 14:28

      sure, preferably the uncensored version :)

      • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 14:30

        Yeah I'd try and get the uncensored version for sure.
        I'm free from now until tonight, so if 3 others wanna do it then I'm keen.

        • wOOt on 18/06/2011 - 14:36

        I've bought from the US site before, purchased BFBC2 for like half the price of the Aussie store.

          Oh ok, I just didn't have any experience with this sort of thing. If thats the case then I'm in.

        • Elitebhy on 18/06/2011 - 14:42

          Well, I need a 3 pack myself, I can pay for a 4 pack too.

          Any chance you can buy on my account?

          I can transfer you USD via paypal

        • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 14:49

          @Elitebhy
          So you need 3 copies on your account, and a 4th copy can be for me?
          I'm in if you're able to bank transfer instead of PayPal, as when buying using a VPN, you cannot use PayPal.

        • Elitebhy on 18/06/2011 - 14:56

          How much you need transferred for 3 copies in terms of AUD. I'm with St George.

        • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 14:59

          Unfortunely I am with Commonwealth and will need the funds to clear immediately. Sorry.

        • Elitebhy on 18/06/2011 - 15:04

          I know paypal will clear immediately.

          Isn't there an option to transfer the funds to your bank account for a fee? I'll pay whatever fees if you agree.

      • Aang on 18/06/2011 - 14:37

        maybe buy it on another account if you want to be safe. I got a russian copy of blackops on my account and nothing has happened so maybe not.

        • leonheart1 on 18/06/2011 - 16:01

          Is it actually in Russian and you have to patch it yourself everytime there's an update?
          Also do you know if it's only for black ops?

        • hybir on 18/06/2011 - 16:50
          +1

          It's in Russian initially but once you overwrite the files with the English version, it's English thereafter no matter the updates. First Strike DLC also works fine.

      im in for the 4 pack too!

  • nkbswe5 on 18/06/2011 - 14:44

    If anyone knows how to get the US version, I'd happily also send them some monies to send it to me. None of the workarounds work for me >_>

  • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 15:13

    Is anyone keen on buying a copy from a 4-pack who is with Commonwealth Bank? Its the only option for me currently.
    It'll be $5 AUD a copy.
    IF SO contact me using the contact form and I'll send you my bank details.
    IT WILL BE A US (UNCENSORED) COPY!

    The reason it has to be Commonwealth for me is that I'm a broke uni student who is going out tonight to celebrate end of exams, and I need all the money I have now and cannot wait for funds to clear with other banks.

    • theguyrules on 18/06/2011 - 15:21

      Ok, done.
      Unless someone pulls out.

    • cysp on 18/06/2011 - 19:03

      Thanks for that! One question though.
      I already have the censored version installed on my pc, but created a new account and bought the uncensored version with it. The fact that I have the censored version wouldn't interfere right?

      • Harold Halfprice on 18/06/2011 - 19:18

        If it is on a separate account, I don't believe it would, no. The only thing I could think of is it might consider it already installed, but uninstalling the censored version should fix that.

        • cysp on 18/06/2011 - 19:39

          Worked fine :)
          It did some update to the one that was already installed and the gore was unleashed.

  • Elitebhy on 18/06/2011 - 18:17

    • Harold Halfprice on 18/06/2011 - 19:20

      Anonymity network does work! But VPNs seem to only work through UK Steam.

      You could try Hotspot Shield - which has also been confirmed to work.
      http://hotspotshield.com/

      • sssboi on 18/06/2011 - 19:38

        Could you explain how to use it? I've got Hotspot shield connected but I dont know what to do next?

        And I've checked with What is my ip and my ip has changed.

        • Harold Halfprice on 18/06/2011 - 20:39

          I'm not too sure how Hotspot Shield works, as I have not used it. However, if your IP has changed, it should mean it's working.

          As long as your connected to a UK VPN (whatsmyip will tell you your location) you can go to the UK Steam site. http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk
          From there simply add the game to your cart and when you go to purchase it, enter all your details the same but change the following:
          State: W12
          Postcode: 7TQ
          Country: United Kingdom

          And you're good to go and ready to enjoy your gore filled L4D2 :)

  • Guybrush57 on 18/06/2011 - 20:03

    I buy from the US and UK Steam sites myself without the use of a VPN. I have an ANZ VISA debit card and it works fine. I'd like to know if anyone else has success doing this:

    Step 1. Delete all saved payment info on your Steam account
    Step 2. Close Steam client (if open)
    Step 3. Clear internet browser cache and history then close/re-open your browser
    Step 4. Visit UK Steam (store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk) or US Steam (store.steampowered.com/?cc=us)
    Step 5. Add desired game to cart and choose "Purchase for myself"
    Step 6. Login with your Steam account
    Step 7. Fill out the payment & billing information with your normal payment & address details. Detick "Save my payment information so checkout is easy next time"
    NOTE: If buying from UK store choose United Kingdom from the country drop-down menu
    NOTE: If buying from US store choose United States from the country drop-down menu, select MN for the State/Province and use 58513 for the ZIP/Postal code
    Step 8. Press the green "Continue" button
    Step 9. Tick "I agree to the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement (last updated XX/XX/XXXX.)" and press the green "Purchase" button.

    I hope this guide has worked for you :)

  • ps3_andy on 18/06/2011 - 20:28

    • Guybrush57 on 18/06/2011 - 20:42

      I don't think so. I have been doing this for at least 1 and a half years and I don't believe the banks actually look at what billing address you use for purchases.

    The F.E.A.R series has garnered very high review scores

    To be fair, that's not true. The F.E.A.R. series ended in all but name after the original title; every single follow-up is not worth the disc it was stamped on.

    The first game is undoubtedly genius, and received unanimous praise, but the rest is rehashed garbage.

    Still, for this price, might as well have them all.

    Just want to clear a few things up

    If you buy from the US Steam Store and Steam thinks you are committing fraud, you can get your account disabled etc, it has happened before.

    Many people manage to buy from the US store from Australia without issues, its just that certain credit cards in combination with fake US address's and the VPN have caused problems in the past

    Also be aware that any games you gift to can also have problems.

    The actual act of buying US games or receiving them as gifts is fine on its own, a real person in the US won't have any issues gifting to us.

    Basically my suggestion is, if you know somebody who has not had any issues buying from the US Store, get them to gift it to you, that way you can be quite sure there won't be any problems.

    • Shonda on 19/06/2011 - 09:32

    Also does F.E.A.R have a censored and uncensored version?

    • Autonomic on 19/06/2011 - 22:05

      Message me and I can help you out. I can't gift 4-packs, but I can gift uncensored copies.

    • Gnostikos on 19/06/2011 - 23:45

      Also does F.E.A.R have a censored and uncensored version?

      No, since F.E.A.R. was approved for classification by the OFLC in Australia. (MA15+)
