[quote name='anthonyd46']wow why even pay retail the last few weeks? everything gets 40 dollar sales within a week or two it seems[/QUOTE]
It's turned into a game that the publishers play now. Originally, we saw a price premium on "next gen" titles. Now that all these titles are "current gen", they are okay with lowering price points more quickly, however they want to get as much of the $60 sucker customer base as possible before they lower the price, which is about a month or so now adays.
Me personally, i don't ever see me paying $60 for a game anymore. First, I already have a huge backlog of games to play so It's not like I can't wait, and second, the wait time isn't that long anymore!
Do yourself a favor, just wait a month and save yourself some money when it goes for cheaper. $40 is my "get off the couch and buy" price now adays!
