| BMaker11 said: Actually, the first release is still MSRP $40 and $30+ secondhand shipped ($20+ disc only). So not "much less than $50". Factor in the DLC via season pass and asking $50 for the game is the exactly correct cost at worst, and a great value at best. |
More selective Ebay evidence. Yeah, the auction that ended in May that you linked went for around $36 shipped. Of course, at the top of that auction there is a link where the same seller sold the same item for $26 shipped. And here is one more recent than those that sold for $15 shipped, like new. Here is another Like New for only $15 shipped, even more recent. Even looking at the top three most recent ended options it looks like the most you'll pay is around $24, but you can get it cheaper. I know I can waltz into GameXChange today and pick it up for $18 + tax.
So no, not exactly "correct cost at worst" using your own criteria. But my point is the criteria is silly anyway. If someone wants to buy the game and sees value in it then would it matter if the game sold for $3 in some May Ebay auction? How do we put an exact value on 1080p60? How do we weigh extra incentive to someone maybe looking for something to play on their PS4? Does that make it a little more "worth it"?
