I would say as Gears is now, it's still overpriced. Shame as I used to like the series.
So far this only applies to Deathloop and my store could barely move 10 copies at that price. Expect that to drop even further if actually they want to clear stores out. Gears 5 isn't even stocked in stores anymore but it was probably the only thing MS wanted to offer for this sale.
I am sure you have scored deals others here have missed out on. I think it balances out for a lot of us here. Win some lose some. Kind of like ordering from Gamestop.
Where did I imply it was a competition with other CAGs? I get one sealed used Xbox One game from Gamestop and I guess it was all downhill from there because of it. Yeah, totally balances out.
Where did they imply it was a competition with other CAGs? They are just saying “can’t win ‘em all”.
BBY (like any retailer) allocates a certain number for each of these sales. It's not always the case that it's looking to clear out every one they have.
I figured a sale at a loss is better than no sale at all on an item. I guess Best Buy doesn't see it like that.
BBY definitely doesn't see it that way. I think as more and more games become digital and physical inventories move to warehouses, retailers are fine with keeping some physical inventory on "shelves" to sell to niche customers who seem more willing to pay the physical premium.
I don't know by that logic. Gathering dust in a warehouse, in the hopes of that niche customer is willing to pay for that premium profit.

They wouldn't have had the deal at all if not for Nintendo giving them a price break but that deal limits how many they can sell before they have to mark it sold out.
Like Tyrok said, Best Buy wouldn't put something on sale if they weren't making a little bit of money/profit. Still a loss in profits on that sale item, but I see it as some profit over not sold.
This makes more sense if that's the deal between Nintendo and Best Buy.
Yikes. I miss the days when Microsoft would add digital game vouchers to their consoles. I know they want you to sign up for Game Pass. Could have at least thrown in something like Minecraft.
Minecraft would be a good pack-in. They did include Halo Infinite on those bundles limited Series X but at additional cost. I think their plan is to make all profit on Game Pass so they don’t want us thinking there are other ways to play games. Like the printer manufacturers charging little for printers and making all profit on the ink.
They're oldish (360 games), but if you're talking xbox I loved the co-op in Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man, and I think they're BC.
They're answering the co op question in the post above them
