Xenoblade Chronicles discount

5 replies · 3,446 views · Started 08 September 2013

So a while back, Gamestop started selling copies of Xenoblade Chronicles again, but they were retailing at around 100 dollars. Fuck that. That's stupidly expensive.

Anyway, for a few more days, you can pick it up for sixty five dollars, which is still way expensive, especially for a Wii game, but much better than what you'll pay on eBay or Amazon.

It really is one of the best RPGs of the generation, and a contender for my top ten games of all time.

If interested, buy the shit out of it.

So why is this game so expensive in the first place? I don't own a wii and I'm not really getting how $65 is a deal, sorry. The release date for this game is over a year ago.

If I recall correctly, Gamestop made a deal with the developers that only allowed them to sell new copies of the game in the US and are capitalizing on it by charging ridiculous prices (and hiding the original prices by slapping preowned stickers over them, which IIRC they could get sued for false advertising if somebody can prove that these are new copies and not preowned ones). That and Xenoblade seems to be a very popular RPG.
