| What was the cost of the original Uru when it came out? I thought it was $50 but I'm not sure. Anybody remember? |

Bottom line: It's still a re-sell. All things depreciate over time. All games become cheaper as they become older. Also, I'm sure it's that little bit more effort to broaden the audience. Only the gamers run out and spend whatever it takes to get their favorite new release. I believe Doom III will be closer to $60 on its initial release. Six months later or so it will probably be closer to $40. But, when it comes to your favorite game...who wants to wait? I paid $50 for Uru with a smile on my face. Two months later it was $39.99. What are you gonna do?

Enjoy the game!  Then you get to gripe and moan and complain after you finish it and are waiting for the next one. (June and September... June and September...)

One of my friends, and also a MYST fan, is getting married in september. I know what She's gonna get for a wedding present.
As an added bonus, she's thinking of updating her computer to URU, and so I can make it a double bonus. triple with PotS.
