We sell video games where I work, and I've noticed that up until about a month ago we have kept Mass Effect 1 for PC in stock regularly. Now all of a sudden, I can't find it anywhere! The Xbox 360 Platinum Hits version is everywhere, but for PC - nada. One would expect that the popularity of Mass Effect 2 would cause a rise in sales for the original game on both platforms,, but that there has been no restock of ME1 for PC anywhere, it leads me to believe that EA and BW are going to repackage it and release it again. At least I hope so! I've been gearing up to build a new PC and am already starting to stock up on games. That's what prompted me to look into getting ME1 for PC, but I've looked everywhere. I know there is the digital download route, but I like my discs.

Anyone hear a buzz about possible re-release of ME1 for PC? I'll be sad if they only have the digital option from here on out

Get the digital copy. Use the extra desk space for

[D.I.Y_Death]

You'd easily be able to order it from Amazon. I don't suggest going with the digital download. Steam is a horrible company with minimal security to prevent theft of accounts.

Finding a hard copy for any PC game over half a year old is incredibly hard these days. It's pretty sad that around here we have 5 gamestop stores (two of which are in the same mall) and a hand full of independently owned game stores and yet the best place to find a PC game is at wal-mart....

ebay.com has plenty

1. You're an idiot
2. Steam isn't a company, it's a program operated by Valve
3. There's nothing wrong with the digital copy of ME1
4. Verify your email and use common sence and a good virus scanner and you won't lose your account
5. You're an idiot
 

On topic: Buy it on Steam, if you want a hard copy you could probably find it on Amazon or Ebay (used, but why would you want to buy it used, you'll probably end up with a broken disc or no CD key)

I'd say get it from Amazon.  For around 20 bucks you can get the disc. If you don't wanta wait for shipping or some other reason go with the digital copy via Direct2Drive or Steam.  I've used Direct2Drive and had no issues with them.

Don't really want digital, and not interested in Pirate Bay...

And DIY - Amazon doesn't have it, at least not as a "ships from Amazon" option - And what they do have listed is from other sellers and like $45. The game should only be 19.99!

Anyway, my point is that it's pretty mysterious that all of a sudden you can't find ME1 for PC on store shelves easily right now, whereas it was easily available very recently. I understand that PC gaming might be moving toward digital more quickly than consoles, but I have a hard time accepting that ME1 is going all digital so soon. I'm really thinking and hoping they are just in the process of repacking and reprinting. A lot of PC games have been doing that lately - going from those fat cases to a standard DVD sized case.

Steam is amazing for the simple fact I never have to use a game shortcut ever again.

I hear that, but I keep track of this stuff where I work, and a lot of the really popular games will be regularly stocked, or as I mentioned above, repackaged and reissued. It doesn't seem likely that they would let something that has such a spike in popularity right now, to be just sold through until it's gone.

I should check Walmart. Checked their website, but it's not there. I'll suck it up and go into a physical store I guess (don't love trips to Walmart lol). I might also try to hoof it around to some more Gamestops, of which I've checked some and it also isn't available online there (except the digital version).

Here's the Amazon listing

And I don't consider ebay a "regular" buying option. I sometimes do ebay in acts of desperation, but very rarely. Again, my point being that it is all of a sudden very hard to find in regular stores.

Thanks Soldier. I'm aware the digital versions are all very easily available and for 19.99

I bought ME1 on Stardock's Impulse, which is somewhat like Steam in which you actually download the game instead of getting the game in a box. But if you prefer a boxed edition, then Amazon, eBay, and the like could work for you.

Steam have its own issues, especially with DLC but moving on ...

ME1 PC is likely out of stock for a simple reason, Xbox 360 owners that brought the Xbox 360 version back when it was a Xbox 360 exclusive and want to play ME2 on PC with a ME1 import.

There is not reason for people to pick up the Xbox 360 version of ME1, its unlikely ME1 PC players brought the Xbox 360 version of ME2.

I can speak for personal experience since I did just that.

I've had a Steam account since it was first implemented with no issues. I smell user error.

Nah, my cousin was unlucky enough to get hacked by someone smart. They hacked his steam account and then registered it to another email but Steam has bad policies regarding that so there was no confirmation when his password was changed.

Rare situation to be in but it shows that when push comes to shove, if you're unlucky, Steam doesn't care.
For the average user though Steam is fine.

Your cousin must have been hacked before people could verify their emails, making it impossible to change a Steam account's email if you don't have the verifed email, sorry man.

The only problem/bonus with the pc version is that you have to do some serious modifications to get it to run as good as it can. (Disabling corpse cleanup is the best part!!) There's even someone who successfuly imported garrus's me2 face into the me1 pc game, since it's the same mesh it fits like a glove and he finally doesn't look like a bad npc

I just want to reiterate that I'm not actually asking where to get a hard copy of Mass Effect for PC off the shelf. I am commenting on my observation that it is no longer as easy to find as it was merely a month ago, and speculating that there will be a reprint and repackaging.

That's the kind of stuff I look forward to playing with for the PC version. I've played the 360 version of ME1 and ME2 a ton, and I can't wait to do some mods and vid capture with the PC versions.
