No kidding, I bought it on PC when it was $10 just for kicks, $5 is insane. Even at this age I still think the game's worth $30 at the least.

It is a good primer to go back and play before ME2 comes out at the least.

I never played it when it was first released, but have just bought it for £3 odd in our money, looking forward to trying it out. Gonna be a while though as I have just been capped by my ISP and an DL'ing at 250ish KB/s:mad:

Been there, done that and no go:rolleyes: I'm on a 10MB conn, and if I go over 2GB download at peak times, it's capped to 2MB. Peak times are something like 9am-10pm. If I get capped, it's effective until midnight of that day. The bandwidth throttling only occurs when downloading. If I am streaming media, gaming or using VOIP then there is no bandwidth management. My ISP is basically penalising anyone who wants to put their connection to full use. I am sure it's their way of making life harder for illegal file sharers, but it isn't just them who download large files!:mad:

On a brighter note, I eventually got the game downloaded in the early hours, so it was ready for me to play today.

Through Steam's mega sales, I have downloaded nearly 50GB worth of games (kind of went overboard on the game purchases) but fortunately I have no caps on my connection. However, since AT&T has an internet monopoly in my area, I fear it is only a matter of time. Also, my internet is capped at 3MB/s and there are no plans to increase it. I hate monopolies.

Fortunately, Comcast's caps are 250GB a month, so I should be safe. They also recently upped our speed, so many of my Steam downloads have approached 2MB/s.

My Steam directory is now an even 100GB :eek: My list is a total of 67 games, most of them from sales like this. I haven't even played a fair amount of them.
