"FREE" software titles... Atari, etc
« on: August 09, 2003, 05:55:36 am »
Hey, I found this site that has "FREE" software, but you pay $7.50 for shipping. They have the Atari Anniversary Edition, all kinds of games and software. Who knows, maybe someone will find something they want. Everything just $7.50 TOTAL.

Doesn't look like Warez to me. Just looks like a bunch of shovelware. The software probably costs them .50 to $3 per title in bulk, and they charge $7.50 for shipping. Thus the price is built into the shipping.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Yeah companies do this all the time once a title has lost it's value.  Or if it's a playstation game.  Same diff I guess. ;)

Yeah, it's just a clearance of older titles. But there are some decent ones in there, and $7.50 isn't THAT bad a price I guess, depending on what it is you want. Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is a great game!

Who knows.

Are they asking $7.50 per item or can items be bought together to reduce shipping?

"Each Atari title is faithfully reproduced down to the last detail, and each one is just as easy and fun to play."

Easy? Whatever!!!  :P

I think if you buy 4 titles, the 5th one is free.
