Deus Ex: Human Revolution Region Locking

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

After an announcement on the Eidos forums that the PC versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be region-locked, and the uproar by gamers that followed, Eidos has repealed its decision and announced that the PC version of the game in the UK, Europe, the US and Australia will no longer be region locked.

This is good news for gamers who don’t want to pay the heavily inflated retail prices we are subject to here in Australia. We again have the option of importing the game from retailers overseas, hopefully sending the message that game prices are simply too high here, to local retailers and distributers in the process.

The best option I’ve found for the Augmented Edition so far is at GAME.co.uk, where you can get the game for £34.99 plus £4.95 shipping, which works out to be about A$56. If anyone has found a better deal please leave a comment below.
