hmmm just seen that Steam are offering Defcon for $9.95 if you pre-order, rather than the ?10 from the official site, I think i'll pre-order it now :)

seems i can't do it anyway, my wireless connection is working fine this morning, until i click the confirm payment button in Steam, whereby the wireless connection instantly drops, and then connects again as soon as I close the payment screen. tried this several times now and same thing every time ffs :x
