Whats the best value for money you have ever had from a game of any system?

 

Mine would be morrowind, picked it up for $10 (equiv to a $5 game in the USA I believe) and didnt get into it for ages. When I finally did I fell in love, clocked the game several times bought both expansions and made several minor mods for it. Its probably my most played game of all time and is my probably my favourite RPG of all time.

Freespace 2. Bought it for $10, best space combat sim I've ever played.



Half Life.

Bought it for 5 € and played it (and counter strike) loooong.



Probably Battlefield 2.

Paid about $40.00 for it, and played it for probably about 500 hours. My brother has over 1000 hours, I believe.

So that's about 2.5 cents per hours. 



World of Warcraft- 50 dollars then 15 dollars a month and you can play it without ever playing another game again if you wanted.

Oblivion- over 200 hours of game easy for 60 bucks.

Any game that you can play online repeatedly forever (shooters, Battlefield 2 is a great example, my favorite multiplayer shooter ever).

I mentioned WOW separately because I think it's the only game you can play exclusively for like a year and not get bored of it no matter how much you play.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Ocarina of Time. Bought it for 5 euro's($6.84 at the moment).

Still the best game ever made for my opinion.

I also bought Metroid Prime for 15 euro's($20.52).



I think I got 1943 (NES) used for under $1. (How I miss mid-1990s Funcoland prices!) That game was a lot of fun.

Actually, best deal ever was FF6:  My brother stole it from Blockbuster and gave it to me.  Five finger discount and introduced me to the best RPG series ever.  Don't steal, kids!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Agree with that.  I must of played that game nearly every day for a year.  The best was playing the WW2 scenario and making juggernauts like "The Nuetrals" change history.
