Where is the best place to purchase the whole series?

Hi all,

I've been shopping around recently for pretty much all the rayman games (all meaning Rayman 1 up to Rayman Legends, excluding the fan games, remakes and others such as bowling, garden and kart...) and i was wondering, where online is the cheapest place to get all 5 rayman games, for the PC? I've found GOG.com and GAME.co.uk to be the cheapest, but i'm not too sure.

or is it easier to just use emulators?


thanks guys!

Emulator is easiest of course, but it will never give you the satisfaction of really owning the game yourself. I suggest you try to search some of them from eBay. Normal Rayman games can go for reeally cheap there.

For the first three games, GOG.com is probably the best place around, especially for their version of Rayman 1 (already has an emulator, you don't need to DL one in order to play the game). Plus all games are updated to last OS, so you can play R2 and R3 without bothering abut compatibility. Considering how cheap they are selling them (roughly 5€ per game if I remember well), I think it's a no brainer.

For Origins and Legends, Uplay and Steam are reliable platforms where you can buy them. Of course, there are others which propose platform keys at a lower price (because people who bought them didn't really play them and want to give them to somebody else for a little amount of money.

I hope it helped...

You can buy RO, RL and R2 in steam.
But, the first game isn't available in Steam...

Well, as saer said, it is, along with the other two games of the "original trilogy". Origins is on GOG too, but it's cheaper on Steam. (Those who are into software freedom though might prefer the non-DRM-encumbered version).

R2 was available on Steam if you pre-ordered Rayman Origins.

Really? Interesting. Does that version work as well as the GOG one?

Sorry my dear, but you said "You can buy […] R2 in Steam", which is not true. R2 was available on Steam before, but not anymore.

Get this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/131285953683
It's getting more rare and I've seen prices are already increasing.

For Rayman Legends, check this out: http://www.kinguin.net/category/2483/ra ... uplay-key/

As for Rayman M, try to hunt a copy on ebay.

Depends on the seller. I had no issues with any of my previous kinguin purchases. Just make sure the seller got many positive feedbacks, like ebay.

That is the same thing. It again depends on the seller you are buying from. And eBay is not always safe!
