If Steam keys for Black Ops are universal (ie not region locked) (I don't know if they are) then you should be able to buy a key in Poland and activete it on Steam and get the english version (if that's what you want).

From what I've heard they are locked. Atleast for germans.

What is the cheapest place for a key? I don't want Russian keys (Well, if they are multilanguage), since I don't want Russian and Bulgarian or something like that only and use some horrible tricks to get it into English.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

As far as I can see, the best online deal for Black Ops right now, is to buy it from Direct2drive and use the 25% discount code.
Why?
1. It's completely legit (I'm not gonna risk my Steam account because I wanted to save a few bucks).
2. It's available worldwide (Except for Germany).
3. It's a bit cheaper than the standard US price, which is lower than the Standard EU price (It was for me, despite the fact that I live in one of the most Tax heavy countries in the world).
Bottomline. I got this game for less than the normal AAA game price

That said, I see you're not in UK  |
even better, misses just told me her sister that works there can get another £10 off it for staff discount/time loyalty served.. So for me it will be £19.99 beat that  |

With Direct2Drive you get a download link to a zip file containing the files and folders from a DvD. You unzip it, and run the installer while your Steam client is open, and then you use your activation key that you get from D2D and voila! The game is now installing and registered to your Steam account. And then you have the right to redownload the game from Steam and D2D as much as your want (And that is why I don't get how D2D can make money on these deals).
Anyway, the D2D deal works, I have made exactly the same deal some months ago when I purchased Metro2033 on D2D (with an added discount). And D2D is a 100% legal store.
Ps. You will have to check your D2D profile on Tuesday to get your key (it will be available from 7. am Pst/4. pm Gmt+1
Pps. I downloaded Black Ops yesterday from D2D, it's a 7.38Gb zip file.

Can't you just use the key you get from D2D to activate it on Steam in the first place ? And download it from there ?

Yes and no. I did it with Metro2033, but since the Black Ops key isn't available yet, I thought I just downloaded the files from D2D, so I won't have to download on Tuesday when Steam is going into a meltdown because of all the Black Ops players.

If you buy it at D2D I guess you will be able to play it back in Sweden since D2D clearly states that the game can be purchased worldwide, with Germany as the only exception.
