i persoannly think amazon stepped in because of the shipping price - these games will be sold a different way - somebody has the inventory to unload - and now they know what price is good to have them go quick.
there have been other situations where companies had pin inventory to unload and they did not want to let people know they reduced prices because then people knew they sold them for a lower price
a good example - town and country snowmobile in new hampshire used to always have a buy 2 snowmobiles and get the third free - yes it was exactly as i stated
so we waited and did this deal twice - what a great deal it was - the last time i did it i sold two of them and kept the third for peanuts
well they realized people were always waiting for the buy 2 get one free and they haven't had it for a few years now
so i'm sure they still blow snowmobiles out - but they do it where people don't know anymore
thanks ed
