Meh

[TheMoor]

I see $21.99 as the price, please fix the thread tiltle op

[icedout297]

$21.99... and not that good of a deal considering the game is sub-par.

[c88ms]

NICE! I've been waiting for this for a while...i just didnt want to buy it a retail.

[Friend of Sonic]

It's too bad the game wasn't as good as the Wario Lands or I would have bit.

[Tsukento]

It's showing up as $19.99 for me, guys. o_O

[RelentlessRolento]

meh... if it were pokemon that would be a different reaction.

[VernlovesMaria]

I hear this one is weak for a Wario game. Dave Halverson was the only good review I read. Still... I'd bite at $15.

[Tsukento]

Well, let's just hope Amazon doesn't do to this like they did with FFXII and lower the price in the final moments.

[VernlovesMaria]

Yeah I've been making sure to wait until the end of the day for these things. It's been worth it.

[VernlovesMaria]

And I'm getting 21.99. How are you seeing 19.99?

[RelentlessRolento]

Well, let's just hope Amazon doesn't do to this like they did with FFXII and lower the price in the final moments.


I hope they do... $15 would be sweet.

[guynextshore]

I'm getting 21.99 as well...

[Chris in Cali]

This game is horrible.

[guynextshore]

Well, let's just hope Amazon doesn't do to this like they did with FFXII and lower the price in the final moments.

I don't mind if they lower it -
If it's at a price worth it & $15 for this would be nice

[qbkorso]

I'm getting $21.99, not worth it for me.

[mietha]

As a side note, has anyone looked at the gold box deal of the day? It's a digital picture frame on "sale" for $150. The existance of such a thing makes my brain hurt. Literally.

[Tsukento]

It *was* at $19.99 when it showed up for me. Now it seems to have gone to $21.99 as you guys are seeing it.

[phattsoe]

here's a question regarding the "deal of the day" price drops mid-day. has anyone tried contacting customer service to get their purchases matched to the lowest price (assuming you bit on the deal ASAP)? i've gotten refunds for price decreases of up to a few weeks after i bought something, but since this is a DOTD thing, would it work? i guess it's food for thought...

[InvaderZim]

Not bad... I thought it was a pretty decent game.

[spooie_redux]

He's right... I checked around 3am this morning, and it was $19.99. Guess they upped it 2 bucks. I should have added it to my cart sooner.

[lilboo]

Hey, at least it's a different title!

[tinyandi]

I'll bite if it goes down lower....I have C4C monitoring the page now. Will report if anything changes.

Funny you post this I was just in here trying to find a way to fit this in to the forum.

I did this for the Lost Planet DotD the other day and was refunded by Amazon $10.00.

I found on their site the Post-Order Price Guarantee located here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/104-2782703-8907954?ie=UTF8&nodeId=468502

This is the response I received:

[LiK]

i would bite if it had any good reviews.

[djduke316]

Eh. I'll pass.

[LinkinPrime]

Ooooh I've been wanting this one. I'll keep checking back in case price drops lower if not I'll bite later tonight anyway.

[Monsta Mack]

Hey It's a different title AND a NINTENDO title. The reviews stink, but if your a huge Warioland fan you might want to grab it. Chances of Nintendo lowering their own prices on video games are low, unless a store themselves puts the games on clearance (IE Circuit City or Best Buy, TRU come to mind) so might wanna grab it while its hot (or cold).

awesome that you got confirmation. i guess all that is left to be said is to make sure to buy the game early, hope it drops with someone noticing (so you can file the 'claim' with amazon), then ask for the refund of the difference. the major factor in that is that the price drop is POST-ORDER - you can't buy it after a drop and file a claim. good catch, groundskeeper.

Yes, you have to be willing to stick with the original price if it does not drop however:-)

As a follow up I received this e-mail and the 10$ refund shows up on the order.

"Hello from Amazon.com.

We're writing to confirm that we have processed your refund for $10 for the above-referenced order.

For more information on how we calculate refunds, please visit our web site at http://www.amazon.com/refunds

We hope this is a satisfactory resolution for you. However, if you have any questions or concerns, please use this link to contact Customer Service: "

Neither the original order of refund has shown up on my card yet.

[tinyandi]

It's 19.99 now. Should I get it?

[Rozz]

I see $19.99....

and to think I almost imported this one a few months ago... that would have been a big waste of cash.

[VernlovesMaria]

I would wait just before the deal is over. It could drop to 14.99 if we're lucky.

[shrike4242]

Updated the OP to show the drop down to $19.99 .

[fatbeer]

Avoid this game at all cost, horrible game. It doesn't even play remotely close to wario land series. The problem with this game is they try to incorperate many new themes without considering how the game mechanics will be all messed up. Crappy minigames, hard to control, and very long stages. I rather waste that money on getting amazing games on eitherwario land 1,2,3 or 4.

[Tsukento]

Would seem that either Amazon can't make up their minds or they have a specific amount the games will be at certain times. Another drop and I'll probably consider it.

[LinkinPrime]

Ordered along with Civil War TBP to get free shipping.

[Foo228]

i won't budge seeing as its less than stellar...maybe if it was 10

[blandstalker]

Well, I was all set to order because I had read a review saying it was quirky and offbeat, but now I can't find that review. Instead, I found review after review describing it as poor, average, broken, frustrating, and/or sub-par.

I think I'll wait on this one until it's dirt cheap. Like $10.

[usickenme]

I like this game more than I should, but less than I want.

I wouldn't say it is broken but the control is frustrating at times. The puzzles are quite fun.

[NeoStrider]

I'll wait til its $10

[MrNEWZ]

[still debating] The Amazon price adjustment item has been confirmed previously as well, but is asked almost every day in this thread, so thanks to the poster who detailed that. ;-)

[xbox_mole]

This game also has a $5.00 pricegrabber rebate. So at the current price of $19.99 you'd be paying $14.99 after rebate. :)

Thanks dude, will have to remember to fill this out once I get the game. I don't have to purchase directly from the Pricegrabber.com in order to qualify for rebate right?

[shrike4242]

Thanks dude, will have to remember to fill this out once I get the game. I don't have to purchase directly from the Pricegrabber.com in order to qualify for rebate right?
Correct.

All you have to do is sign up for a Pricegrabber.com account, fill out the rebate form with UPC & copy of the receipt, and write a review of the game.

[LinkinPrime]

Correct.

Thank you sir.

[tinyandi]

It's $14.99 now. I jumped along with Katamari.

[nogard]

I will just wait for this one to go under $10 before picking it up.

[garfep]

I'll keep watching this. I'm tempted at $15, but if it goes any lower (even $12) I'm all over it.

[tinyandi]

I'll pricematch if it goes lower. But $14.99 for this was good enough with me...plus I needed an excuse to get Katamari. =P

[onikage]

I've actually played through the game, it isn't as bad as a lot of the reviews have said. There's no doubt about it being a great deal @ $15.

[Roufuss]

Wow...kind of tempted, but something inside of me is saying "Hey, there is a reason this went to 50% MSRP so fast, wait for a cheaper clearance!"

[garfep]

Well, as mentioned earlier, Nintendo rarely marks down their own titles. That might be a long wait.

[Roufuss]

Well, as mentioned earlier, Nintendo rarely marks down their own titles. That might be a long wait.

For a game that has scored kind of average, I can afford to wait.

And clearances are stores getting rid of their own games, Nintendo has no say in it... plenty of DS games were clearanced last year (Advance Wars DS being one of them, same with Metroid Prime Pinball) and I'd be willing to bet money that we'll see someone clearance Wario out by the end of the year.

The IGN review unsold me on the game, anyways.

[mcgavin27]

back to $14.99

[lawdood]

back to $14.99

back to? I think you've read the thread title wrong. ;)


I was thinking about jumping on this but, like others, the reviews have sort of turned me off of it.

[JBaby]

That last $5 push was enough for me to bite... Buyer's uncertainty?

[fairtrade]

Ah great. I'm still on the fence because I can't think of anything to get to qualify for free shipping.

EDIT: Hm.. the DS headset is still $9.99. Maybe that and some <$1 filler wouldn't be too bad.

[Collectordragon]

I bought it when it was $19.99. This happened to me with PSU for the 360 too. Any way I can get Amazon to price adjust? I think it's lame they change the price like this. I'll just wait until the end of the day next time.

[brian101]

hmm i think im going to go with everyone else and wait till it drops again

[icruise]

Just contact them and they will always adjust it for you. No need to wait.

[LinkinPrime]

cancelled my order and repurchased to have the new pricing :D

[Friend of Sonic]

This is a very good price. I might have to grab this.

[lobitoh]

any recommendation for a filler

[icruise]

cancelled my order and repurchased to have the new pricing :D
Again, this isn't necessary. Amazon always adjust prices that change soon after a purchase. You just have to ask. But I guess it doesn't hurt to cancel and reorder, unless it sells out while you're doing it.

[spidey]

Picked this up along with the first four seasons of Newsradio. I'm on an Amazon shopping spree this week.

[kevzik]

Hmm..tempting

[tuffcookie]

Tempting...any suggestions for a filler?

[ma]

Filler:
Star Trek Encounters :ps2: is $6.XX
Timesplitters Future Perfect :xbox: is $7.XX

Don't forget:
http://www.filleritem.com

I'm searching for other filler options right now...

[Masterkyo]

Wow! Its great deal but i already had this game :(

[Spangank]

This is what I did for my order....

Wario: Master Of Disguise $14.99

The total would be $25.38... and free shipping!

Hope this helps, guys.

[brian101]

you dont have to add anything to your order to get free shipping you could sign up for amazon prime month trial then quit before trial ends.

[LinkinPrime]

Again, this isn't necessary. Amazon always adjust prices that change soon after a purchase. You just have to ask. But I guess it doesn't hurt to cancel and reorder, unless it sells out while you're doing it.

Its quicker and guaranteed for me to just cancel and rebuy. This way I don't have to go through the hassle of waiting for customer service to respond and/or take action. Also since the pricing fluctuates, what if it goes back to 19.99 by the time Amazon.com CS checks it? Anyway, like I said its quicker and its guaranteed.

[icruise]

I believe they know what the prices have been in a particular time period, so that shouldn't be a problem.

[garfep]

If you add it to your cart it saves it at that price for a couple hours even if it increases, right?

[brian101]

i wish amazon would give you the option to notify you by email when a item reaches a certain price

[icruise]

If you add it to your cart it saves it at that price for a couple hours even if it increases, right?
I don't think so. When you go to your cart, it will tell you if the price has changed.

[garfep]

Bit and got it for $14.99. For what it's worth, this game is worth $15.30 in credit at FYE or $15.00 at GS/EB ($16.50 with card), so you'll make your money back if you try it out and dislike it.

[Alien Spider]

This is what I did for my order....

The total would be $25.38... and free shipping!

Hope this helps, guys.

Excellent suggestions! Under the Headset's description it says that it "works with any game that uses voice recognition", so I'm hoping it will work with Brain Age because I'm planning giving the Headset to my mom for Mother's Day and that's about all she plays right now. :D I went ahead and ordered the Halo Compilation disc too to push my order past the $25 mark even though I'm sure I've seen it for a dollar cheaper awhile back. eh well. :\

Anyway, thanks for the updates!

[Friend of Sonic]

If I hadn't squandered so much money at BB and Dreamcast games on Ebay (I'm so achingly close to finishing the collection) I'd bite on this. 15 ain't bad at all.

[sdp]

I would have bit if i had some money.
Its not the best Nintendo platformer on the DS and its also not the best Wario Land type game but it is still a very fun platformer, I played it at a friends house for a while.

[garfep]

Jeez, my order is already "shipping soon," so I guess I won't be cancelling it if the price drops again. I guess that's what the customer service email is for.

[icruise]

I doubt it'll be dropping again. It should be going back to regular price within an hour.

[RelentlessRolento]

though being a huge wario fan, I can't seem to bring myself into buying this game, even at the great price.

[VernlovesMaria]

Yeah I know what you mean. I said I'd bite at 15 but I just can't do it, especially since I just bought Lost Planet the other day. If it drops again, though, I'll probably get it.

[62t]

the thing is even if the game isnt that good you can probably sell it on ebay or to another GAGer and close to break even. So there really isnt any risk.

[neonglow]

I was set to buy this game at $15 until I started reading the reviews saying that portions of the game was worse than first gen DS games.

[garfep]

Just wanted to bring this back up while the deal was still active in case anyone missed it the first time:

this game is worth $15.30 in credit at FYE or $15.00 at GS/EB ($16.50 with card), so you'll make your money back if you try it out and dislike it.

[Tsukento]

Eh. A 30 cent/dollar-fifty profit for trying out a possibly dull game isn't worth it.

[parKer]

The price went back up. $29.82 now.

[62t]

Eh. A 30 cent/dollar-fifty profit for trying out a possibly dull game isn't worth it.
so you make money if the game is bad, and get to keep it if it is good. Seems like a win win situation.

[gofishn]

This game is pretty bad. It's about on the same level as corporate shill/movie tie-in games. Seems like it was just slopped together, I couldn't really get into it.

[jbuck138]

I bit last night for $15. I love Wario and held off before cause of all the bad reviews. Hopefully I will like it. If not i will still get my Wario on.
