I guess I'm an outlaw, then...almost all my friends are football fanatics, but I really can't stand the fanatism, and much prefer basketball. Also, I don't like samba (I sing in a Dave Matthews Band cover band). Well...I think I was born in the wrong country, after all.

Bit of a worry that the next few releases will be the relatively dire Actua Ice Hockey/Golf/Pool etc etc.
Then there's the additional conundrum that they're cheaper on Gamersgate: http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/all?q=actua

not from the uk site that you linked to ;-)

Well, according to my credit card statement my last GoG purchase for a $5.99 game translated out to £4.15 or so.
But it's a moot point anyway as UK/EU citizens can purchase from the GG US store without penalty.
