So far, I've found that both EB and Babbages are selling it for $39.95. CompUSA, usually the cheapest, is selling it for $49.95. Has anyone out there bought the game for less? If so, where?
I'm not interested in "free" versions of this game, so don't write promoting a hacker's web-site.

Future shop, 44.95 and a $10 mail in rebate.

Go to www.shopper.com and search for the title. Last I checked they had it somewhere for around $40 including shipping.

When I got SMAC last week, EB was offering a $10 rebate on their website (www.ebworld.com). It comes in the form of an EB gift certificate, though, but of course you're going to buy something from them in the future, right?

Wait a week or two and Best Buy will probably have it for $34.99 or $29.99. They had SC3K for $29.99 over a week ago (only a couple weeks after the release).

At Software Etc./Babbages it is 39.99 there is a ten dollar rebate on the website <http://www.gamelord.com> which brings the price to 29.99

I was right: SMAC is in Best Buy's advert today for $29.99, no rebates necessary.

I bought it at EB for $3.24 by trading in old PC games for an instore credit. It made my wife happy .

You can get it from any EA distributors in Bangkok, Thailand for an equivalent of $10.00(cheap heh? ,yep, a legal one too) Manual is in Thai though with no tech chart poster.
