So cheap...so soon?

From my understanding, Amazon may have ordered too many copies of TLR. TLR was $39.99 well before the game even came out - which is rather odd, but they may have over-estimated, and then backed down due to IU underperforming.

 

I would think that retailers are supposed to stick to the MSRP due to publisher fees. How could they sell TLR for $39.99 at launch? Isn't that probably what they bought the title for? No profits?

It's strange to see a new 360 game costing as much as a new ps2 game. These prices make me want to get a 360 arcade because it's really the JRPGs on 360 I want to play. I could even do without paying for xbox live.

No idea how Amazon could manage $40 at launch, and drop it to $30 within a mere week. There were a few games I saw very insane prices on, such as Sonic Unleashed...The Force Unleashed has also seen major price reductions, which is odd given the fact that it sold well.

I'd certainly reccomend getting a X360 for the back-catalog of JRPGs. Even though reviewers have derided the majority of them, I'm certain you'd enjoy the majority of them at least for a little bit. Even if they aren't groundbreaking, the fact is....Every JRPG can be purchased for $20-$40 except for Tales of Vesperia....Brand new.

Citing Amazon for pricing (which is insanely cheap BTW...I may start buying my missing JRPGs from Amazon next year - like Spectral Force 3):

Blue Dragon	$26.99 - New
Eternal Sonata	$20.74 - New
Phantasy Star Universe	$39.99 - New (wtf?)
Enchanted Arms	$19.96 - New w/ Comic Book
Lost Odyssey	$37.99 - New
Kingdom Under Fire: CoD	$29.49 - New
Infinite Undiscovery	$18.95 - NEW
The Last Remnant	$29.95 - NEW
Spectral Force 3	$19.96 - New
Operation: Darkness	$29.99 - New
Zoids Assault	$29.96 - New
Tales of Vesperia	$56.99 - New

Wow! TLR is a massive bomb. What SE are thinking? Why can't they release good games?

Anyway, that list is interesting because it shows that the price of a game is influenced by its quality. ToV is almost at the launch price and it's by far the best game on the list.
