How often does Matrix have sales?

I've been looking at this game for a while but asking over $50 a year after its release is just, well, stupid. Not to mention the fact that this is a redo (and not a full one at that) of two older games.

Thanks!

Matrix often (well almost always) has a Christams sale. But there's no guarantee that this game will be included.

Well, it's on sale now, hurry. I picked up a copy. Shame I waited so long.

As for the cost, I justify my gaming purchase this way:

If a game costs $50 and I spend 50 hours playing it before I hang it up, I rationalize that my entertainment cost was $1 an hour. Not a bad deal at all, and that is much cheaper than most other forms of entertainment. Now I just don't purchase on a whim, I read the forums and reviews when possible, so I am usually not wrong when I buy the game. I get my monies worth. It helps me thinking that way as I only get an opportunity to buy a game 3-4 times a year, and hopefully that thinking will help you.

One game that I have gotten more than my monies worth is Uncommon Valor. My entertainment cost for that is a fraction of a cent per hour. It's still on my HD and when I get the bug I am good for double digit hours until that bug is gone!

Happy gaming, and Happy New Years!
