Steam has it for $29.99 Hard to find any PC game comparison sites, do they exist? Anyone seen cheaper than steam?

Assuming you want it for DayZ (if not, ignore); the cheapest option that I know of:
- Go to www.greenmangaming.com
- Buy ARMA II Operation Arrowhead ($20)
- Use code: ORDER-NTCOM-PLETE (-25% = $5)
- Or you can use PCGMR-ALLIN-GREEN (-25% = $5. I haven't tried it myself, confirmed by another OzBargain user)
- Download ARMA II from steam (Free. Also one of the steps included in the link below)
- Follow the directions here.
Total: $15 + 8/9ish GB worth of downloads
Note:
- This process works, I've been playing it.
- DayZ is annoying and harder-than-usual to install and get working regardless of buying ARMA II CO on steam or ARMA II Free + Operation Arrowhead from Green Man Gaming. In my opinion; it's worth saving the $15 difference. Follow the steps and you'll be fine.
- There is a slight difference between the textures of the ARMA II Free and the paid version, however these differences are very minimal, if not unnoticeable. I haven't had an issue whatsoever. DayZ uses the textures of ARMA II Free, but everything else from ARMA II Operation Arrowhead.
Or I just found ARMA II Combined Operations for $23.96 at Gamersgate.com.
Thanks guys, bought it. Day Z is tough, just spent 30 mins running around being chased by zombies. Hard to find weapns!
You'll get the hang of it; check out the DayZDB Map and the DayZ Wiki Page for tips and tricks (You might be interested in How to lose zombies :D)
Looks like the same price as the US steam

I think it is a pretty reasonable price, haven't really looked but can't imagine you would find it much cheaper elsewhere
