I live in Turkey, and downloading from steam is just very hard for me. E.g. I bought Flatout and Flatout2 from steam, and I couldn't download flatout2. Twice, there was an error in download, didn't pass validation, so a total of 6gb download vaporized. I pay by the bandwith of internet so I have to download from work. If I downloaded flatout2 at home, I'd pay about 15usd extra more just for the bandwith. Two games together cost 19

I am just tired of trying to download big stuff from Steam. It is good for Geometry wars and Zuma Deluxe (which I also own), but anything bigger than a couple of gigabytes is pain in the gluteus. Lucky people with 500kb per second internet connections would not feel the pain tho. (Tho I am reading that most cannot download full speed on Steam)

Now instead of flatout2 on my pc, I play motorstorm on my PS3, sony ironically doesn't allow me to download stuff from ps store in my country. :P
