We do get screwed a lot of prices. USA has rebates and stuff, and mega deals at certain times of the year. We don't get shit, ever.

On the otherhand, we're tolerant of boobies.

It's a close call.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ordered Smash Bros. Not holding my breath on getting that price but it was worth the effort. If nothing else it will give me a reason to call and complain to somebody.

Maybe these prices are a reflection on how much interest they feel they can earn between now and what they believe to be the actual release dates based on their inside information.

Ordered Brawl, even though I'm not the biggest SSB fan. For $20 bucks, doesn't really matter. They either cancel it, or if I hate it, I can re-sell it on Amazon or something. Nice find.

this obviously isn't gonna happen. but count me in for brawl

edit: shit, I'm gonna buy 3 copies and hope to resell 2 for profit

edit2: yep, I did 5. the page "could not be found" right as I hit submit order! I used a gift card and the balance was still intact, verifying that the transaction did not process. I ordered again and got the confirmation # this time

That Smash Bros price seems particularly hard to believe, eh.

I only clocked in my order for one just in case, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be torn down by the first guy who uses that quantity calculator to try and print money.

"I'll take 250 copies of Smash Bros at $20 a piece, please."


Anyways, thanks for the head's up.

the others won't be worth more than fourty.



But yeah, buy a bunch of smash and trade them all in (one at a time) to build up massive free credit.

edit: this is different from deal scalping, because you are allowing others in your community to ALSO get the game for a cheaper (albeit not AS cheap) price, by having more used copies available right after launch.

So they've turned around and NOT honored these things in the past?

How do they do that?

What do you do then, just take the games back to the store for a refund?
