New x360 games for $44.99 @ Fry' s Electronics - Nov 11, 2006 06:36
I went to frys electronics today and got Tony Hawk 8 and Call Of Duty 3 for $90 total.

They also had gears of war for $44.99, and I just payed $65 (w/ tax) for that yesterday at EB, too bad I cant return it :(

Anyway, they usually always sell new games for a week for $5 less than MSRP, but now they' re going $15 less than MSRP which is pretty amazing, the games go back to normal $60 price 1-2 weeks after release.

Nice. So for every 3 games you get you basically get a 4th free.

Will it be the same for PS3 games?

I don' t know, they' ve always done $5 off the first week of game launch on any system, this is the first time I see $15 off, hopefully it will be the same for PS3.

You can' t returned opened games for money at EB.

They can only be returned for the exact same game.

They say it' s because of some copyright infringement bullshit, but when you buy used games from them you can return them, I guess they think used games are immune to being copied.

Oi.. I was just making a point that they are now cheaper, and not the ridiculous £45- £50 us Brits were paying before, if I stirred some kind of subliminal hostility
in your blood, I do apologise as your:


And?


Was very dismissive.

Well thats a shame. How much do special editions cost over there? $100?

IMO you should keep paying £45- £50, so we can have them for $50 again. Then fry' s would probably sell them for $35... which would be awesome.

How much is £50 in U.S dollars?? That' s how much our special editions cost..

For some strange reason, I actually didn' t mind forking out £50-£60 for a game,
it actually felt special....

That' s why I wouldn' t mind handing over £60 for a PS3 game.. It will feel worth
the purchase as long as the game isn' t crap..

I bought Double Agent for £40, but I thought it was just the off chance that it was
at that price, but then I looked around and every game was £40.. (well, King Kong
was a mere £15 but that' s because it' s very crap).

Does this apply to an online order thing as well?
