Ha! Got Civ3 for $28 - Woohoo!
Picked up Civ3 for $28 at Fry's on Monday. I was there for other stuff and on a whim started poking around in software. Didn't find it, was almost ready to give up and there it was...

$27.99. I actually hunted down a sales nazi for price verification. Yep, $28. Needless to say, I bought one...

Price was good through yesterday. I emailed MarkG about it Monday night so he could post the price on the front page, but he never did... sales over now.

So, if you missed it...HA HA!

P.S. 1024x768 ONLY? I thought that was a minimum? Yuck. I want 1600x1200 baby...

you should be really vocal about the game being 'unfinished'....coz the patch will not work on it.

take note, this means that the gold version somehow leaked to the pirate market...
