    Syrel you only spent 10$ on this game? I also had to pay 40$ and I probably would've payed more if I had to because this game is worth every penny.

    [​IMG] Hey what was upwith WCIII being $60. That's some bullshit. Good game, possibly great but I don't think it has as much potetnial as WCII did. But $10 for BGII. That's insane, what happened did you get caught stealing it and paid off an employee!!! That kind of price for such a great game is an insult. Hey when is Ice WinDale II coming out I only have BG II are the other games good enough to get?

    There is no official release date for IWD2, so nobody really knows. I suggest you take a look in the IWD2 forum.

    [Sure there is, the game has gone gold. Should be in stores by September.] -Tal

    Yup - our GST bumped the prices by 10%. I paid a good $90 or $100 (AUD) for it. Geez... I've seen some games go for up to $130. It'd want to be pretty good.

    In terms of cost / hours played, I don't think any game will EVER beat BGII for me. Well... there was EQ, but I won't talk about that ;)

    [edit]
    (I mean cost divided by hours played, not cost and hours played. It's quite likely the best value game I've ever bought. It would have been even better if someone had sold it to me for 10 bucks.)

    Want a good price on a game? Here is what you do. Wait. Just wait 2 or 3 years and you can get a jewel pack for $10 from some place like Walmart.
