It's released under Windows and Linux, costs a mere 25 USDs, and has no middleman to jack prices up. Of course, that means it's not available in stores, nor will it be seen on TV, but according to Newsforge, it's got great gameplay. So, will 25 bucks, a fresh game idea, and a Linux release make others in the gaming world stand up and take notice?"

    A CD Drive is $300?? I just bought a cd-re-writer for $84.00. Give me your address, and I'll send one to you half price, only $150. Whatta Deal.

    I suspect his Vaio is a laptop... used as a desktop computer. In which case a CD-ROM drive really would be $300 (and also that's why he wouldn't already have one)
