I'm reading that the Defense Grid key will load up just fine in Steam, too, if you're into that sort of thing. You should be.

I won't buy any of these games because The Path is included in the sale.

It must be horrible to be so poor that you have to invent unpleasant reasons not to buy things even when they're reduced to the point of being practically free.

Oh jeez, is there still a knee-jerk crowd against The Path? What a joke.
I would warn, though, that The Path has really high system requirements for an indie game. Don't buy it for your laptop, is what I'm saying here.

This would be awesome if the site wasn't down for maintenance.
I've been waiting to get some of these, so hopefully they'll fix their problems soon.

The £5 price is a TRAP!
If the title is available in the UK sale then UK folks like myself can simply log into the American website and buy them for $5 + tax instead. It works out about £3.70.

Ah, I wondered if that was possible...

You may want to look at the rest of the discounted games. Practically all are country restricted, except for the indies. What good are cheap prices if you are not allowed to pay them?
Direct2Drive is useless due to its many country restrictions.

@Sumguy
The same could be said about Steam though, and there it's even worse because you can't even cheat your way trough the system with some games like with D2D :P
But I might pick Defense Grid just to activate it on Steam, that would come in handy, also I'm enjoying some Titan Quest I recently bought of D2D for 5,6 Euro a week ago ;D
