Default anybody signed up for gametap?

I've just signed up for the first month at 99 cents , had to make up an american adress but works nicely , has a nice interface with some good games as I stear clear of torrents even at $9.99 per month it might be worth keeping going as it has about 1000 games ( although some are REALLY Cr@p )

I had this service 2 years ago. Not sure what's changed but it was damn good. Only problems were you couldn't delete a game from your HD you had to delete all your games at a time, And in order to cancel my subscription I had to call them and talk to a chatty bitchy service person who really REALLY wanted me to not unsubscribe, And she ended the phone call with "Thank you very much Ma'm" (I'm a dude). But at least the phone thing has changed and you can now unsubscribe online.


Oh, and soon you will be able to register outside of the US.

although that sounds good it is to be through Metaboli who are likely to charge more as they currently do for their ovn version of this

I know that it is hard to compare us/uk prices but Gametap is $60 per year ( £40 ish ) or $9.99 ( £7.50 ish ) and metaboli prices are £12.95 a month and no option of yearly subs

Just wondering but how did you fool Gametap into thinking you lived in the USA? I mean, apart from using a proxy. Steam did a credit card check so you couldn't fool them.
