If you're looking for something specific, they have a tool to try to find the cheapest price. It may not work so well for PC games but it did find the one you're looking for for $30.

Thanks everyone for your help...
I bought the cheaper version for $10 and will wait for the price on the other version to drop... which it will inevitably.
The whole process got me thinking... while this may be bad hear me out.
Is there a demand for a service which would email (text message - whatever) when a game you are interested in drops below a certain threshold price? For me personally between humble bundles and being a Dad I am sitting on a stack of games to play so I am in no rush to play the latest and greatest game 2 seconds after it comes out.
Especially in the era of daily deals offered by steam, impulse and goodness knows who else...
So what do you think?

... I like impulse. I'm usually good with just using craiglist notify. Between that and cheap ass gamer I have my new gen and old gen vgames covered. Let the vgame gods guide you.
I just bought a SNES used, no yellowing, w 2 controllers $25. The game gods have guided me to this, so it must be done.
Speaking of really being too busy to game, I think we should limit ourselves to buying one game each 6 months. Play the hell out of it until we are past bored, then buy a another for the next 6 months. I might be busier than I was before, but now I feel like an ADHD Video Game player because of all the options I have. Ok, i'm going to play this for 30 mins, oh remember that rpg! 40 mins, oh a new fps, 2 hours, oh street fighter iv, a week, oh a new emulator came out, let me test every rom for 15 mins.
I recently am going through a fad thinking that buying and selling old games would make a profit. I could make more money working a side job, but it's sort of fun going through swapmeets, and flea markets. The selling part is boring though.

The cheapassgamer.com price tracker will do that if you register. You can also set up deal alerts on slickdeals.com though you can't set a price there.
