$51 for Tropico 3? And that's with the 10% discount? Sorry, but I'll be passing on that one -- over inflated regional pricing just isn't acceptable to me.

Hearts of Iron III is even worse, over 57$.

I will never buy a game that has regional pricing, just so they can milk the customers. I would rather that STARDOCK did not show me those games, and applications.

I stopped using STEAM on the $ = € change, realy hope this is not ganna be the case on IMPULSE to.

While I think it's out of Stardock control (as Paradox it's probably the one fixing those prices), I agree regional pricing (or region locking) is totally idiotic, and even more on a digital download. I'll pass on those too even if I really wanted to try HoI3 :(

again i don't see any game's names. If you won't fix that bug i won't buy anything cause i don't even see it.

ID, for some reason the images are not showing up for me on firefox, all I see is pricing.

Can I suggest you put the title of the item under the image so that if it fails to show we can still see what's on sale?

Thanks

tkossak and Carguy, I've added alt tags to the images so you should be able to see the game's names.  Odd that you can't see the images . . I am running FF with no issues.

Can you hit the image link directly and see it? (http://www.impulsedriven.com/ads/default/images/weekendbuys/ImpulseBuys_TimeofShadows.jpg)

No, all I get a "Waiting for www.impulsedriven.com" message in the status bar.

Also, thanks for the tags, now I know what's on sale. :thumbsup:

Using an ad block extension?

I guess the problem is Adblock! the pictures are located in a folder called "ads", no wonder they don't show up (for me neither). but on the other hand, they show up following the direct link, which they shouldn't do, if it really was an Adblock problem. so nevermind, I've just been guessing

No.

Funny I now get 4 of the 6 images. Call of Juarez and Time Of Shadows are now the only 2 not working.

Adblock extensions are not very friendly, so you would need to disable them on our sites if you want to see everything.

Alternatively, you can just go to the Impulse Store and browse the sales.  :)
