Psychonauts only costs $2 until Thursday on Steam

Stand up. Walk over to your couch, and remove its cushions. Stick your hand into the exposed crevasses of your sofa, taking care not to lose any fingers in any reclining mechanisms which may be hiding within your chair. Dig out eight quarters, or twenty dimes, or forty nickels, or two-hundred pennies, or any combination of these denominations which add up to 200 cents.

Deposit your recently excavated horde in your bank account, or the bank account of a trusted friend or relative. Access Steam, and use these funds to purchase Psychonauts, which, until tomorrow, only costs 200 cents. Download the game, and play it. When you get a free moment, return the cushions to your couch, so it can collect more funds for the next time Steam slashes the price on one of our favorite games ever.

[Thanks, Dao]

I've been reading Joystiq for over a year now. Today marks the first time that I've ever posted a comment, simply to say that I bought this. Ignoring, of course, the fact that I already own the Xbox version.

Anyone else have trouble buying this? I can't get it to add to my cart and neither can my roommates

I've owned the game since it was $40 on Xbox and didn't think it was all that good. I don't know why everyone goes nuts over it. It's a mediocre game with a better-than-average plot with no memorable characters. $2.00 may be worth it, but Psychonauts was not the best $40 I've ever spent on a game.
