New currencies coming to Steam! More coming next week!

Now this is potentially some big news.

Remember at the start of the year when Steam announced new curencies on Dev Day?.

Seems like it's finally coming on September 16 for some countries. Just got an email about it a few hours ago. FYI Steam is looking to support the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Indonesian rupiah, the Japanese yen, the Malaysian ringgit, the Mexican peso, the New Zealand dollar, the Norwegian krone, the Philippine peso, the Singapore dollar, the South Korean Won, the Turkish Lira, the Thai baht, and the Ukrainian hryvnia (in the future). Not all the countries will have their currencies changed on Sept 16, but many will.

Local currency conversion dates

So, lower prices or terrible conversion rate? Guess it depends on your country. The retailers in my country seems to price their products at roughly the same price as Steam, with disc versions 2 to 3 dollars more expensive.

Email I got

Edit: Wow some stuff are actually cheaper now for me. L4D2 and Deus Ex are ONLY $5 SGD ($4 USD) for me now!

Edit 2: Canadian Dollar and Norwegian Krone to be added on 8 Oct. Stay tuned for price changes!
