GOG has released Icewind Dale plus its two expansions as a bundle for $9.99.
"This game is best played with a warm cup of Folger's coffee in your hands, so you can actually smell the oppression while you relive the greatest period of all time. The period when white people discovered the world, and decided they didn't like it." - EUIV Steam user review

That's tremendous. And I don't want to alarm anyone, but the only major title left in the Hasbro library is one of the original Magic: The Gathering card games.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Oddly enough I was already replaying Icewind Dale last week so I won't be grabbing this one. Hell somehow I have double the disks so I apparently bought it twice at some point. Now maybe I can actually finish the damn game! 

Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

Just purchased, downloaded and installed. Unfortunately, the graphics seem a bit wonky on a windows 7 64 bit system. I'm getting extreme tearing on every screen.

Heya
Have you installed the WideScreen Mod?
http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/" target="_blank
The same thing that works for Planescape: Torment also works on Icewind Dale...
Unless you have an nVidia card mayhaps...

Hope that Helps

Re: Gold Old Games closes...no wait!
Thanks, I'll give the nvidia fix a shot as I have a 470 and I'm assuming that's one of the issues.
Good lord, I now have a backlog of BG1, PST and IWD1...with all the expansions. Add in Arcanum and BG2 and IWD2 which I'm sure are just around the corner and I've got a lot of classic CRPG gaming in my future.

Re: Gold Old Games closes...no wait!
Funny enough I came across this old thread while looking for an Unreal one. This year marks 8 years since this went down. It was a scary thing at the time but looking back its just a blip on the gaming radar. I never stopped using GOG and cant imagine PC gaming without them today. Now they do have that stand alone program for buying and playing their games. I still buy from the website though. My game collection says I have 140 in it. Seems a lot. Time is flying past us. Think Ill go look up their infamous monk video 
EDIT: Looking for that monk video I found this blurb....
Here is a look back video for GOG from 4 years ago.

DOH! I dont recall meeting him!We have a special treat waiting for everyone who wins a game of dice with the GOG Monk that can be found in Flotsam’s Tavern in Act 1 of The Witcher 2. Make sure to check the reward that he’s prepared for you. More details at GOG.com.
