    What are the chances of Witcher 1 going on sale for much lower than the 33% Atari publisher discount?

    Id say pretty damn good since I got it for about $5 during the Winter Sale.

    Cool. I'll hold out then.

    That was also the game they ran out of keys for, got more and then the game was somewhere between 7-10 for the rest of it's daily deal.

    So I assume they'd put it up considering the high previous demand

    I'm wavering on buying Oblivion goty on Steam even though I already own the regular edition on dvd and have hardly played it. I think I need some kind of twelve step program.

    I'm willing to help out on the Lead and Gold achievements, just friend me/msg me.

    If you had only $3 and change to spend today, what would you buy?

    And this will probably be lost in the thread, and I meant to ask it yesterday, but... What is/the a good/great SciFi based 4X game? So many out there to choose from.

    Dammit, I thought my cart was pretty much finished for today but then I saw the Paradox Fantasy Pack. God Dammit Steam! I don't even know what Elven Legacy is.

    It's a kick in the balls is what it is.

    A better name would also be Hilariously Genocidal Elves.

    It's a pretty hardcore strategy game, attrition is a real bitch. It's a lot of fun if you like the sound of Panzer General in a fantasy setting.

    IIRC, last year, The Witcher was up at an insane price, but it was only supposed to be a daily deal. So once that was fixed, the price didn't get lower again.

    Too bad Retribution DLC isn't on sale...oh wait...is any of the Retribution DLC worth getting?

    My vote is for Star Ruler. Firgog is one of the developers and posts often in these forums. It's on sale right now for about 6 bucks. Relevant thread here:
    http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=125522

    It has pretty much kicked Sins of the Solar Empire off of my list as my go-to space 4x game. You can make ships the size of planets that can shoot stars and make them go supernova. You can make ringworlds. 'Nuff said.

    As far as only having only $3 to spend... you can head to steamgamesales.com and sort it by price. Lots of games fall under that category. My personal vote is The Longest Journey, which is 75% off and under the 3 dollar mark right now.

    Oblivion's a daily deal...go for it. I'd wait for RepCom since it may only get cheaper. Regular sale prices last throughout the sale, daily deals are...daily, after which they go back to a higher sale price. If RepCom isn't part of a daily deal, just get it on the last day.

    Well, it was $3.48 at greenmangaming.com this past month (Steam version) and $5.00 at gamersgate.com (also Steam Version) last week. I'm not sure you can get a better price than that. I've had side orders at restaurants more expensive than that. Magicka at "only" 33% doesn't seem like such a great deal after this past month.
