Hey guys,
So I've noticed that Amazon's been dropping quite a few new releases (Borderlands, Fifa 10, even Uncharted 2!) to $49.99. I have the feeling that Amazon saw increased sales from the small 10% discount that ECA members have (used to have...), and now they're expanding the discount of about $5 to the general public. Perhaps people are less "price sensitive," to use an industry term, around the $50 mark.
Of course, if this is true and Amazon isn't returning to the 10% discount, sucks for those of us who paid for our ECA accounts.
However, this might hopefully herald a new $49.99 price point, especially in light of the economy.
What do you guys think?
