CAGiversary!
Good to see the gaming media pick up on this...
"GameStop is charging a whopping $90 for used copies of a Wii game (Xenoblade)—and it's leading some fans to voice some serious suspicions about how it got back in stock."
"One GameStop source tells us the retailer printed a few thousand copies of the game with no shrink wrap in order to restock their inventory, then labeled them as pre-owned. Reached for comment, a GameStop rep told us they're looking into it. We'll update when they get back to us."
"Xenoblade is also now heavily promoted on GameStop's website, and the product listing has been updated with all sorts of new info about the game's characters and features."
Extreme GameStop Pricing Leaves Some Fans Calling Scam
UPDATE:
GameStop: $90 Xenoblade Is 'Based On Current Market Value'
"GameStop regularly receives feedback from our PowerUp members regarding old titles they would us like to bring back, such as vintage games like Xenoblade Chronicles. We were recently able to source a limited number of copies of this title to carry in our stores and online.
In fact, we have sourced several more vintage titles that we will be hitting stores in the coming months, including Metroid Prime Trilogy.
As always, our pricing for these games is competitive and is based on current market value driven by supply and demand. PowerUp Pro members always receive a 10% discount and earn PUR points on pre-owned purchases."
IGN has also released an article now- http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/14/xenoblade-and-metroid-prime-being-restocked-at-gamestop Thanks for pointing this out Tarskidx!
