       Steam Over Charging!

       Steam might have done much to endear themselves to the PC gaming
       community, but according to Lewie from savygamer, what they give
       with one hand they take away with the other.
       Gamesavy recently compared ten ?coming soon? games on steam with
       the cheapest available retail price.
       Its emerged that customers downloading from Steam were in some
       cases, paying up to 51% more than those buying from across the
       counter.
       Some of the worst examples include:
       Street Fighter IV: ?29.99 on Steam and ?14.98 retail
       Armed Assault 2: ?29.99 on Steam and ?17.99 retail
       Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood: ?34.99 on Steam and ?14.98
       retail
       Overlord II: ?29.99 on Steam and ?14.95 retail
       Bionic Commando: ?26.99 on Steam and ?17.73 retail
       It seems bizarre that they feel the need to charge customers
       such an extortionate rate on new releases. considering you get
       no CD, no Book and no box.
       It seems totally illogical that a direct download should cost
       consumers more. So over all, although Steam is a still a good
       place to find special offers, their regular prices still leave a
       lot to be desired.
