Need to know about good source to buy Games Online...

Some people may be surprised to see this..I want to play Assassins creed 2(DAMN the Ubisoft's DRM).
I want to know about online stores where I can purchase PC games...Do i have to download the games by paying the fee or I get it shipped???

I have a Debit card(Maestro)...Do i need a credit Card for it??

nextworld.in: Buy Assassin's Creed 2 in India

Sadly it seems that it is not available there atm. Drop an E-Mail to them or something.

In Steam, Assassin's Creed 2 on Steam
At this moment it's a horrible deal however, wait for 3-4, days when the holiday offers come in; you may get a great discount. (Steam requires CC btw)

And btw, original games are usually available in malls as well, if there's a nearby mall, you can purchase too.

@FAUN thanks...Game4u does not have many titles and some older ones are overpriced IMO...
will try the others...

Finally found a store nearby where I can buy games...and the prices are cool too..

GTA IV @499
Assassin's Creed II @499
BATMAN Arkham Asyllum GOTY @ 699
Metro 2033 @699
Fear Pack @499

Now I have already purchased the "GTA episodes from liberty city" and I want assassin's creed II BUT the problem is it says "Always ON internet connection required"..anybody knows a workaround this thing coz i don't want my net usage to go higher as it already is Rs. 4500 extra...

You can also contact Bitfang.com for PC and Console Games.

If the Internet usage running high is what you're worried about, then don't fret. It doesn't download any data while playing the game. Everything it playing off the HDD and the always ON internet connection is required only to authenticate the copy and upload your saves and stats to Ubisoft's online serves through your UPLAY account.

On a side note, Dinjo was selling his used copy for 250 bucks. It's a steal deal, if you ask me. Check with him if you want to opt for it and if it's still available. He could probably enlighten you about the usage part as well.

Here's his deal at TE forum: *www.techenclave.com/games-and-consoles/ac-ii-for-pc-182120.html

You need to be registered on it to access the Market section. Else you can PM him out here too.

^ I monitored it once.I played Forgotten Sands for 2 hours, The transfers were less than 2mb.

POP:TFS or other games that require internet conn r meant to transfer very limited amount of data. it's used only for some levels where gate closing sequence or enemy strength points etc are downloaded.

The internet usage is nothing i myself tracked it down and it was only around 1 mb for 1 hour gameplay and now the servers are even more reliable.Let me know if you want to buy the game as Ethan as posted.

TechEnclave

Wish i had seen it earlier..coz i already bought it..
Where do you live btw?
