Age of Empires III is currently going for 10c/10p on Games For Windows

Here.

You need to have a MS Live account (the same one that's used for an MSN chat account, or for XBox Live). In fact, it takes you through the XBox Live signup, which was slightly confusing. You'd think they'd streamline that, or at least put different branding on it.

But for 10p, who can complain?

Edit: And after setting up my account, I popped back to the page and it referred to me as "WailedNeptune7", and I thought something had gone drastically wrong with their login system. But no, it had just assigned me a random "Gamertag", and then started referring to me by that name. I know MS are shit with usability, but really, What The Fuck?

Kirsty recently got allocated KittenishRogue003, but we quickly changed that

That's not a bad one. Better than the one Julie just got - SolicitedMango009. Not great unless you _want_ to be a fruity prostitute.

That's fabulous! And may explain some of the names that one sees online....
