Default Bypassing the Oz Tax- Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Hi all,

Just considering ways to move around the Oz Tax on this game. Direct2Drive & presumably other online retailers have IP locking now activated.
Was wondering if anyone had thoughts on my suggestions or suggestions of their own:

1- Buy a box! ozgameshop.com has worked for me in the past. For me however boxed copies are less preferable to the digital download option.

2- Have someone Steam purchase it who lives outside of Oz & gift it to you. While nice in theory it means bugging someone to help you out plus has anyone ever tested this?

3- GreenManGames- when you purchase from them they give you a Steam activation key. So it's a little like the above. Does anyone have any experience with this process? Do they have issues gifting you with a Steam key at US prices if you are an Aussie? IP locking?
