These Amazing PC Games Now Cost No More Than $5
Buying cheap video games has become much more profitable than before. Buying cheap games in the past usually meant you got what you paid for (does anyone else remember browsing the sub-$5 section of EB Games ?).
The beauty of time and technology is that games are getting better, and time (and the advent of digital downloads) has made them cheaper. If you time it right, you can get just about any modern game for a great price, and $5 or less is a really great price. Especially for these Star Wars and Metal Gear franchise titles that are cheap enough right now to make your past self jealous in hindsight.
