Did you buy your copy of DEHR overseas via greenmangaming, ozgameshop or other methods? Well guess what ... Deus Ex: Human Revolution is region locked. http://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?kid=59795&ret=main&id=2134&la=2&pv=20&SQEXSC=7qllfsuh1m4mt4363djgb80jn3 Are there any regional restrictions in the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Only found this out from ozgameshop a little while ago due to them emailing me: Hi UPDATE - Thanks to Mantorok: http://forums.greenmangaming.com/topic/434/?page=1#post-4198 Also apparently it is only region locked for BOXED copies of the game. I still think it is stupid of Square-Enix to do this. |

Frak, I did indeed from Greenman, no mention of a refund yet though. >_< Defo not paying more than $50 for any game. |

Still its ONLY $62.99 on Steam rather then the usual $89.99 for here in AUS. Unless you want the crappy Augmented edition Steam is offering, that's $71.99. |

Will wait until it's cheaper, have so much to do already and haven't played a jillion other games yet. If greenman don't give a refund and that copy doesn't work, I'm definitely not paying for it twice. Would probably pay up to $100 for Thief 4 from the same developer & publisher though. :P |

Don't be a dick to your customers, Square Enix. For certain the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Torrent Edition isn't going to be region locked. |

sounds like SE marketing BS to try and kerb online sales at cheaper prices... FFS can't we just have a 'global' f***ing market on this s*** already?? I bought it from GMG and refuse to react to that news until I go to load the game and get an error stating as such... THEN I'll go into 'c***stomer' meltdown... |

Wow, this is pretty lame. Even though it doesn't look like it'll affect me cos I ordered from GMG as well, but still, what a dick move on Square Enix's behalf. Region locking on consoles is bad enough, why bring this s*** to PC games as well? |

Australia will have to launch a class action on anti-competitive behavior of publishers that region lock prices then price gouge a country. That would stop em.

Partly, I'm pretty sure no such law, or variant of, exists otherwise surely it would have been done by now.
