[quote name='dino88']No, it wasn't Black Friday. I thought by telling you 3 weeks would be enough. You can search for the exact dates, just as I did earlier. I'm really not worried about you believing me or not.[/QUOTE]
I feel like you're being disingenuous with your assertions. You won't give solid dates and tell me to look myself. You know what? I did look and you know what I found? This sale you're talking about, 34.99 was at Best Buy AFTER CHRISTMAS AND IT SOLD OUT FAST AT THAT PRICE! 3-6 weeks from the release of Darksiders 2 isn't the end of December so it's unlikely to see that price a few weeks after release. In order for us to hope for the same price, here's the domino that have to fall into place perfectly:
1. Darksiders 2 has to be released 3-6 weeks before the end of the year.
2. Darksiders 2 has to be popular enough for Best Buy to order shit tons of stock so they'll have to do a fire sale to deplete inventory (remember they had Kirby for $8 around that time too????) after Christmas.
3. You need to buy the game from Best Buy before it sells out which will happen fast if it's as popular as necessary for number 2. to work.

"same price for xbox 360 too, but it's
backordered! this is one of 4 games I want that I did not get for xmas. bummer."
Yes you are right but THIS is why I was asking for the date of when it happened. Mentioning that something happened in 3-6 weeks is really unhelpful as the timing, holiday inventory buildup, etc matter a lot. You can't expect a game from August to be $35 in 3-6 weeks. As I said, Black Friday would be the best time this year to buy it. I don't think the stores will buy enough inventory of it to do a fire sale at the end of the year. This game (as I previously mentioned) is nowhere near as popular as Saint's Row 3.
I can't believe I typed all this out, I would have thought you would have made a caveate about the timeframe unless you're so deadset on "winning" the Internet argument that you can't even admit something like this.
[quote name='YBX87']i believe it was somewhere around late june to early july, when the first bb 100% trade in promotion started, because i bought it on the first day it went on sale, because i just got some credit from trading in games from the promotion. it was a weekly sale, from their weekly ad and amazon pricematched a day or two after. i doubt darksiders 2 will do that well anyways, but i could be wrong.[/QUOTE]
I knew there were summer sales and that's what I mentioned with the 8 or 9 month comment. My main point that you quoted was in directly reply to him asserting that there was a sale after 3-6 weeks from the release of the game. As you can see by my reply to him above, I found this deal and provided many points as to why it won't apply to Darksiders 2 despite his comments that it's a 1 to 1 match.
