Bioshock is available EVERYWHERE for 10Euro in germany. Still they charge 20 on steam. And you don't even get a cd/box for this. The steelbox edition of bioshock goes for this price here!

Prince of Persia is said to not include copy protection so I might give it a chance to show that I really DO support game makers and that pirating IS caused by copy protection.
