Monopoly board from a charity shop for 5 cents (ain't a video game but it still counts cheyeaa).
Cheapest individual purchase, or cheapest price when divided by the number of games in the package? Because for individual purchases, the absolute cheapest would be Civilization I, which I found in a record shop for $1, as well as Civ II, which I picked up in a dollar store a year later. Cheapest for the package would probably be Civ I again, because there was another game on the disc, making it $0.50 for each game. The first three Heroes of Might and Magic games are a close runner up, because I got them at a thrift shop for $2 total, or roughly $0.66 a piece. Cheapest recent game, not counting the free copy of Portal, would be Oblivion, which I got for $2 at the same thrift shop I picked up the HOMM games.
I love buying used.
Edit: Just remembered, I got Ultrabots for $0.14 at EB Games when they were getting rid of all their old/used PC games. That is almost certainly my absolute cheapest. In my defense for getting such a crappy game, it had been sitting on the shelf for years, and it always looked interesting to me, but not interesting enough to actually buy what was obviously a shovelware clone of Mechwarrior II. If I had known what was really going on with the sale, which was advertised as, I believe, an after Thanksgiving sale (it was some holiday), I would have grabbed Half Life and Rainbow Six at the very least. There hasn't been a major store carrying used PC games since =(

I think you'll find that i am from england, and according to google:P.Tsunami said:Doesn't win the thread, as 1 canadian cent comes out to less than an american cent, and more so with a british penny; I think that's still the lowest so far. With that said, good on you. Cheap games are always awesome, doubly so if you're nine at the time.Ironic said:I gave my uncle a penny for dungeon keeper and the first sims game when i was 9 or so.P.Tsunami said:
2 games for a penny? 0.5p a game?
0.01 British pounds = 0.0153194132 Canadian dollars
I raise my monacle to you, sir, your knowledge of currency has defeated me.

So... your saying that the cheapest game you have ever bought was $50? Wow.ninonybox360 said:
