This is the time I hate that I don't play on the PC.

Hehe. It's the time I LOVE to play on the PC.

Lol wut. $5 in America but £5 in UK? That hardly seems fair...
Who cares, the games sold in UK are terrible, won't be participating in this deal!

There are a number of titles available as part of the promotion that aren't listed on that main promo page. Just go to the "Under $20" Section and you'll find them (they have promo images stating they're part of the promotion, and are all also reduced to $5) Anyhow for USA region I see the following also on sale:
3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures
AC-130: Operation Devastation
Aces of the Galaxy
Armored Fist 3
Assault Heroes
Comanche 4
Empire Earth II
Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy
Empire Earth III
Prison Tycoon 4: Supermax
Silent Hunter III
Tachyon: The Fringe

This is very tempting, I still wish these prices would be for the physical copies as well, something for me to have on my shelf. Maybe I'll wait for GoGamer.com : )

Can't beat these prices. Ghost Recon AWF2 for $5 and Civ IV for $5. In the bag!
Gooberosity @ Sep 10th 2009 3:07PM
So will this first batch revert back to their original price after this week is up? I'd like to see what's coming up before deciding on stuff for this week. (Then again, it's $5 so yeah I could just not buy Starbucks this week.)

My understanding from the way it's all worded on the site is that yes, they're doing one batch of games at $5 for a week, then as the next batch go on sale, this batch will revert to regular prices. Also it's worth noting that if you buy one it enters you into a drawing to win all 50+ games at the end of the promotion.

If you even like RTS games a little, and you havent tried out Dawn of War yet, then its basically a sin to not buy it now. $5 is stupid, I paid like $60 total for all the games that includes and I don't regret it one bit.

Gonna pick up Civ 4... finally...
