Best Price?
Well, I've preordered my copy of Civilization 3. I have searched the Internet far and wide and so far the best price I found was $49.97 USD(including shipping) at Amazon.com( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...076867-9538448).
I challenge anyone here to find a site on the Internet that has a better price, and to find the best price in different currencies, too. Shipping costs count. Are you up for the challenge? 
P.S. Make sure you post a link to your find here for solid evidence and so other users can easily get to those pages from here quickly and conveniently and purchase Civilization 3!!! Thanks.

Does this include shipping? If not, what is the cost with shipping?

Was gonna add the link to Chips and Bits above with my post, but then remembered that by clicking on the adds here at apolyton, apolyton gets some money from your purchase (10% IIRC from Chips and Bits). But then i thought, why not include the link from the adds myself here, so i did

It is clear that the majority of the people on this forum would *not* like to find the best price for Civ3 (LE), but had rather given all their money to Sid right away.
...
Chips and Bits does seem to be the cheapest of the bunch. Anyone outside the USA will have to swallow some hefty shipping costs to get the game early, though.
