best buy has their own problems considering they are closing 50 stores and laying off about 500 people. I would only enter a best buy by accident

[NM_Che56]

I see $59.99 online; however, sales are not unusual.

Also, Best Buy is closing some of their stores due to restructuring.

World of Warcraft is still £39.99 this means it must be a good game, who knew!!!

Also I saw Fallout: New Vegas plus expansions for 25 dollars which just came out, that must mean the game is horrendous!

-How old is that game again... and how many copies did it sell allready? Im almost betting that DLC sales combined outsells ME3. .

when a movie's ending tanks, its run in the theaters gets cut short and goes straight to DVD to maximize sales. this is just the beginning of what it looks like when a game with a tanked ending "goes straight to DVD".

I find it disheartening that you guys want to celebrate that this uproar has caused ME3 to suffer in sales. I just don't get it. This may the most cynical forum I've ever been to.

Ignore them, they will push anything they can to further their agenda regardless of how stupid it makes them look.

If want more positive outlook check out the bolded part of this which was based on using MVC, VGC, news articles and press releases plus stock reports.

Common, it just came out, for $25 dollars it means it was the worst thing evar! They had to add DLC just to sell it at that price.

Stupid would have been paying £40 for it 21 days ago then another £8 for the DLC.

Yes, I usually try to use emoticons to express sarcasm. I do love FO: NV...it is just trying to lighten the mood in such a doomy thread.

It is no more stupid to buy something early and get to play it during all that time than is to wait for drop in price.

No idea what the original price was but it's probably already made it's money on the original plus DLC. This is like everything packaged together.

-Its not doomy. Its "Schadenfreude". Pretty common when someone who pissed down your back, gets pissed down his back.

Not everyone is so scared of spending their own money to play something day one instead of a month or 6 months later to save a few bucks. Granted if you live in a shack and no running water, that money is a major issue to you then fair enough but not everyone is that poor or thinks the original price is a high price.

Gloating over demise or undermalichous intenet, sounds pretty doomy to me. Also calling out saying that the game is collapsing over price cut does tell me that also.

It is like in MMOs when people start saying it is the end when subs are slightly lower, cause they were never pleased.

Also if a "game" metaphysicallypissed down your back then a logic thing is to move on and spend your money elsewhere. When I spent my money on the game I accepted at some point that they will not live up to my standards and hype around the game.

Which is what makes it stupid.
I've got more cash than I know what to do with, but that does not make me a fool

We are not even talking about a month. In six months this will be £9.99 at this rate.

"Suffer in sales"? Give it a few weeks or months and it'll have already outsold Mass Effect 2.

Three weeks on and it is still outselling all previous titles (ME1, ME2, DA:O and DA2) on top of initial sales that shot right past all the previous titles too. So three weeks on they are still trying (the extreme end of naysayers) to push the agenda that somehow it is all over for Bioware unless give them what they want or because it hurt their feelings. The current data (only data we have) shows this not to be happening but they will even if 12 weeks from now where sales are still out shining the other two titles, they will turn around and say "Well it's just not had an affect yet! Wait till week 13 or 14 and it will all collapse and be dooooooooomed!".

Sorry but each retail store sets their own price based on their individual issues. Best buy are having financial problems right now so they are pushing sales and stock at lower prices to make quick cash inflow, much like GAME are doing as they are also in trouble financially. Their issues is why they are selling it so low, EA still is charging or more accurately charged them the same amount regardless for the bulk order they placed to begin with. The retailers are taking a hit to their profit margin with regard to Best Buy, not EA. If you think Best Buy won't preorder more stock if they resolve their financial issues you would be mistaken, EA will sell it to them at the same rate as before the only negative impact is how long takes before they order more but that won't be that long.

Not only buyers fall for the hype. Suppliers do as well. Then get stuck with a lot of units they can't shift.

It's really kind of sad when a group of "fans" is celebrating a video game going down in price. It leads me to believe that all they want is for the company that made it to go out of business and for hundreds, if not thousands, of employees to be fired - just because these "fans" did not like the ending to said video game.

Thats just basic retail tactics. Amazon or Play lowering the profit they make on sale in order to outprice the competition. EA get the same amount of money from Amazon for each time they order, they were always sold in bulk and dependant on how many would of been huge discounts in first place. If Amazon ordered 5,000 copies then discount for that order would of been quite big, if ordered 1 copy they would have got no discount. Since they ordered I would assume thousands of copies they got it at a lower price so could lower their reselling to compete and still make a profit. If they order again which they will, EA will not make any less money and will make the same amount based on how many they order and how much discount that gives the retailer. If the retailer orders less then the price will be higher they pay and reflected in the price you pay on their site in order to still gain profit.
