Cheapest game you've ever bought

Got Super Meat Boy for $3.75 on the Steam Christmas sales last year, that was pretty awesome. That was the cheapest game I bought when I actually paid something for it (and it wasn't already free to start with).
However, I got Mega Man Zero Collection for the DS absolutely free. I had a bunch of game credits on Amazon from purchases, more than enough to bring the price of the game down to $0. And then there's no tax on $0, so it was still zero (Yes, some states do have to pay tax on Amazon, and I am "lucky" enough to live in one of those states). And I was an Amazon Prime member at the time, so free two day shipping as well. So, bam, 4 awesome games for free. Thanks Amazon!

You should be really proud of yourself. Conning an old man just to get some cheap games. Really man, great job. You're one very small step above pirates.emeraldrafael said:
Gungrave was awesome, I loved the 'beat counter' where you'd score more if you could trudge slowly thru the level with your coffin on your back, and manage to kill someone every two seconds, actually took some thought, timing and skill unexpected of a nutty shooter.yaz1410 said:
On top of that, the style and over the top gunplay was refreshing, and the anime cut scenes fitted in nicely.
For me, it was when I was working in a music store, as the games expert, and finally head office forced my boss to give me time to catch up on the games returns section (games were NOT a priority and drove me nuts, never having the time to make it as good as I could).
In the end, we had a ton of games stuff that wasn't in fact faulty, but had sat around too long to send back, and over the months and years had dropped in price to silly levels, some of it 1p or 49p or 99p. That night I made a staff purchase of about 35 games and accessories for about £13, before discounts it was over £700
Yes. Yes it is.googleback said:
About £3 for a supposedly faulty copy of PROTOTYPE off a friend. It totally wasn't faulty.
What? Its not like the Game company made any money anyways. This guy sold games on the side. Besides, it didnt say you had to be proud of it, just what the cheapest game you got was. Would you rather I just lie?mjc0961 said:
0$ for Portal. Remember when Valve did that? Yeah, pretty crazy.
For a game that actually cost me something, about 1$ for Flatout 2.
