Did anyone tell Walmart about this deal? They are still listing it at $58.54

@jlafee: LOL. Now it's $58.54. Awesome.

My guess would have been that they didn't update the prices... but now they did. They just knocked off $1.42, haha.

EDIT: Oh. Could have sworn you said $59.96 at first.

Not sure this belongs in the top window. Saving a buck and a half over retail really isn't all that magical.

@jlafee: lol @thefenst has power, now to get him. Lets all start screaming, maybe he will hear us. jk

@prettywootprincess: I'm trying to keep my competition down in this game. The more players, the harder for me to rank up.

wow i was so excited about it when it was $39.99. bummed out, maybe we'll get a deal like that next time.

vote-for1vote-against

oh man i really want it its so damn expensive!! false advetisment!!!!!!!

Why did Woot let this crap on their site?

"But we don’t allow just any old crap in this section."

C'mon Woot, you've got a reputation to uphold.

Is this even a deal? I picked up the PC version at Best Buy for $49.99. Is it normal for console versions to be more expensive?

vote-for1vote-against

Yes console versions are allway's at least $10 more due to the extra work done exporting it.

vote-for2vote-against

I have contacted the merchant. In the meantime, the price is $58.54.

vote-for2vote-against

@drigout it really has nothing to do with exporting or reconfiguring. They charge $10 more because they can get away with it. Most of these are developed for the console in the first place and ported to the PC.

I would just like to encourage everyone and woot to shop anywhere but Walmart regardless of whatever "deal" they advertise. I suggest Target and Best Buy.
Walmart has its advantages in certain hot wheels and transformers exclusives (if you're so inclined, as I am) and I'm rather fond of the Great Value cling wrap. Aside from that, I advise you to shop elsewhere.

@rustybender: console games are always $10 more, and god knows why. Weaker graphics and dumbed-down multiplayer for MORE money? PC is always the better way to play video games.

vote-for1vote-against

Weak, Woot. Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak.

vote-for1vote-against

They finally dropped the price at Wally World. Down to the $40 advertised originally. Yeah, I bought a 2nd copy for my brother-in-law.

@saigon6000: I know, right now its actually displaying the deal at $40 but I don't think I can sell my soul for $20-off. I have yet to shop at Walmart in the 21 years of my life, and I think I'm going to keep it that way. I was very excited at the price, but my stomach literally dropped at the "Walmart."

vote-for1vote-against

That's better.

For anyone who doesnt want to do the walmart thing, costco has it for $50 shiped.

vote-for0vote-against

Really? $39.99? I dropped $60 when it first came out. Crap. :(

vote-for1vote-against

I don't know what you guys are talking about but this is a great deal ! $39.96 compared to $59.99 everywhere else!

vote-for1vote-against

The reason console versions cost more are due to royalty fees. On PC there are no royalty fees...

@tomalley6: Your soul? They might have quasi-monopolistic business practices, but I don't know how interested they'd be in your soul...

vote-for1vote-against

nice deal.. couldn't even find it cheaper on Ebay.. in for 1 (store pick up of course!).. although I am not used to paying tax for online purchases... so it's more like 42$

vote-for1vote-against

Great deal for this game. Glad I waited. :D

@gchinkin: Haven't you seen the reaped souls aisle? Not only do they collect the souls of all their customers... but they're slashing prices on them.

Out of Stock Online (R.I.P.)

I was able to snag one...this is how much EXPENSIVE games should be. Anybody that knows how large the profit margins are on games, knows that they should be pissed about having to pay $59 for new console games.
