How to buy Steam games from other regions without VPN
EDIT: THIS METHOD NO LONGER WORKS - Try the VPN method.
Stumbled across this while trying to discover Steam cart id's without reconnecting to a VPN account.
As mentioned in this thread, Modern Warfare 2 is only $62 AUD via the UK Steam store, instead of $98 AUD through the Australian Steam store.
Well, there's a much easier way of grabbing it at the cheaper price, without paying for UK VPN access or signing up to a trial.
That's it.
Oh, you can also compare prices to other regions. Changing the "uk" in the URL to "it" will take you to the Italian region's store (Euro currency).
Please note: this method (as opposed to the VPN method) may mean a risk of getting flagged, as your IP when purchasing the game won't originate from the country you've selected.

- Follow this URL: http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk
- Buy game (putting your credit/debit card "country" as United Kingdom)
That's it.
