GFWL store has Age of Empires III for $0.10 today Only.

One thing to note is that it uses the GFWL app/account to download. I'll have to wait until its downloaded to see if I can get a set of files to backup to my server. Having to use the app and download it onto each computer, and actually remember I have the game would be annoying, but for $0.10 I'll try it.
EDIT: Tinker is also free if you search for that game. Not sure what it is about, but it's free. 60MB
EDIT2: You can backup the cab files if you use the GFWL client to do the download/install. Then when you want to reinstall you just put the cab files back into the temp download folder, and it will find them. This is a moot point for people who can/want to just redownload them through GFWL.

Original Bioshock is only 1.99 on there too!
EDIT: you can also pay in xbox live credits. heh. I no longer have 200 xbox points that were worthless to me. (got tinker, bioshock, and aoe 3 for 2 bucks. not bad at all!) +rep

I probably should have listed Bioshock as well. I didn't grab it as I've had it for a while, since one of the D2D sales a while back. Fun game though, and for $1.99 a must buy if you don't have it. I noticed the points thing, but I didn't have any on that account so I didn't pay it much mind.
EDIT: I haven't played it yet, but from what I gather AOEIII they are selling is the complete edition with the two expansion packs.
EDIT2: Also looks like you can just extract the setup files from the .cab. This worked with Tinker, haven't tried with AOEIII.

Grrr... the stupid GFW client keeps crashing on me in XP. Downloaded the hotfix and everything. *sigh* I need to get a new hdd already so I can put win7 on there. (although I doubt that its XP that is the problem.)
Bought 3 copies last night, one for me, friend, and brother. Man Im a nice guy :D
Woke up this morning and got a call from the bank cause they thought someone stole me card due to multiple charges of $0.10 lol

lmao, that'd be an awesome story...
"so my CC got stolen..."
"ohh nooo! What was the damage!?"
"well... the guy went nuts and bought multiple of the same item online... three copies of AOEIII for .10 cents EACH! Then he got caught."
I'm saving my money for Black Friday on Steam, and other stores of course... I love Black Friday! ...or "Green Friday" where "black" is too racist like at Toys R Us......lol (True story)

Well it appears they have run out of KEYS! I bought but, they haven't assigned me a key yet. They will be assigning keys over the next week for those that have purchased it, so you can still buy for a dime, but you will have to wait for a key.

Damn, I knew they ran out but did not expect it to take a week for them to get keys out.

Arrrrgggggg! I missed this by so little! I've been trying to buy AOE 3 for the last 4 hours and kept getting errors until the price finally went back up. Guess I'll just have to find it used.

This was the best find of the year in my opinion. I bought it last night for .10 cents. Got my key this afternoon and just spent 6 hours playing. My eyes are tired. It's things like this that make me happy I am part of this community, oh and +rep.
Now to wait for Steam's Thanksgiving and Christmas sale :P
