    That is a steal for a fantastic game, which I haven't even beat yet. It was definitely worth $20 for my boxed copy and $5 is unbelievable.

    My only gripe is the PC didn't receive the Special Edition the 360 version did, I'm a sucker for special and collector's editions which with multi-platform games on PC and consoles, the PC often doesn't get it.

    This is a great price for a fantastic game. Anybody who likes PC games and hasn't played Mass Effect should get this. For $5 you can't go wrong.

    Indeed. I've amended the title and I'll quietly close this thread. Hopefully some people took advantage of this - it's a great game at a great price.
