Will wait till Civ3 hits the bargain bin ---->

[faded glory]

yup..I refuse to pay 59.99 for a limited edition. Besides I dont think my question has been answered properly. 800 x 600 wont work...so many people here are going to buy the game and never play it. I for one i will wait until I get a new moniter. Just bought a new CPU. But owell .

Anyway I can always play it next door

what do you 'many' people will not be able to play it? 1200x780is the standard nowadays. My monitor is capable of displaying image with much higher qulity than that. I like 800x600, because things looks bigger and easier for my eyes, but as I say, if you cannot handle 1200x780, probably should consider upgrading ur monitor.

I don't know about you, but the selling price in Canada is unbelievable. Electronic Boutique is selling it for $49.99 CDN or $32.00 U.S., plus EBworld is offering a 10 US mail-in rebate, bringing the price down to an unbelievable $22.00 U.S.! It's already a bargan!

Can't hold on much longer. Must have it now!

Waiting for Civ3 to hit the bargain bin is like waiting to see a hot new movie until it comes out on network TV. If you want the game, go buy it.

I never buy things at full retail price

Patience is rewarded and I intend to wait till it atleast gets down to a reasonable price.

This reminds me of my friend that usually buys
bargain priced games, and not new ones.

Last week I discussed with him the price
of Civ III, and he said that he wouldn't probably
buy the game until he can buy it at a cheap price.
Or then he would buy an illegal copy of it.

Looks like there's people that behave
like the stereotype of a scotchman.

I respect your buying decision, you can buy the regular edition for cheaper.

And whats wrong with the 1200 resolution? Even if you have a smaller monitor you should still be able to read the text.

I just don't get your point. All newly released games are like this

So may I if my LE preorder gets cancelled.

[Solver]

No, the standard now is 1024x768. Saddam, I'll try to some hacking and tell you how successfull am I to make it work for 800x600.

Civ3 may still be selling well enough to keep the price up even up until Civ4 comes out. That's going to be a long wait.

You can by a refurbished 17 inch Monitor for $125. It may not be the best thing on the market, but good enough to get you going.

What, like civ2?
You can get a copy for 10 bucks these days.
Civ4 may not even be made, and if it is, it will certainly be quite a few years down the line.

Get a clue, most games, even the best ones have been seriously reduced in price within the first year of their release. People are paying for hype right now. Nothing more.

It took Everquest 3 years to reach the bargain bin. My point is, it's going to be a long wait. Most likely they will release some kind of "golden" version and the original game will hit the bins.

Just saw a 17" monitor, .25 dot pitch, flat screen tube for $149 a COSTCO this weekend. The bargans are out there.
