$14.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16874103108

mislabeled by newegg. there is no goty edition. platinum hits version has an extras disc that includes "bringing down the sky" dlc

edit: this is an excellent game. the best storytelling in the ME series.. and really in all games of this generation. by all means pick this up for $15 if you haven't played it and can't get the pc version.

Great price for a great game.

Played the first mission of this when it came out.

Had no desire to play any longer there after, or anything from the series.

The same thing for Dead Space, Bioshock, Assassins Creed.

Yeah, I might not have given them fair shots by playing the first missions, but like I said, no desire to revisit.

I have this same problem with a lot of games myself. I feel like there's a part of me that needs to be captured in the first two or three missions, or my interest in playing the game over what I already have just fades away.

And then my backlog just grows bigger and bigger.

No desire to play the 4 best new IPs this gen ?

Really ?

AC I can understand. Played 10 minutes of the first game and I was like F this, but to to say the same to Dead Space and Bioshock. What the is wrong with you????

For us CAGs that don't want to deal with discs, Mass Effect is $15 on GoD. Missing the Bring Down the Sky DLC, but that's only $1.

Is that a good price? A five year old game's Platinum Hits?

I had the exact same problem with the first ME. I just couldn't get into it. I'm shock the other 3 games did the same thing to you. Bioshock had me pulled in on the first few seconds. Dead space and AC took me about 2-3 missions to really get into,but after that I was loving them.

Best one in the series IMO

You post is over 9,072,000 seconds too late.

YES. It was rare to find not too long ago, and it's a great deal even at $20 MSRP. Includes DLC to sweeten the deal too.

Wow, did I ever feel alone when I used to say this... but glad to see I'm not the only one who feels the first is the best.

A number of people have gotten Best Buy to price match the $7.99 on their site.: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mass+Eff...323593&st=mass effect&lp=3&cp=1

However, you'd have to go in and see if they have it or call their 800 number and ask them to sku-check stores.

You are not alone.
I got ME1 a few years ago and it just feels so dated.
Couldn't get into it.

I love Dead Space though.

ME has its issues (sloppy shooting mechanics, bad frame rates, and discombobulated inventory system), but it's still one of the few classics of this generation and it should not be missed.

wow, I bought my 360 just to play Mass Effect 1. I bought the platinum edition, sure it had frame rate issues but this game is one of the best games I've played, maybe people say the series is overrated. But the first game had a great story compared to 2, about to play 3. I mean I love this series so much, I beat it on the 360 ME 2 and bought it for the PS3.
Edit: Mass Effect 1 has some pretty moving moments throughout the game.
