Here in Canada it's more and more marketplace sellers as well, import from the US with import fees and extra shipping costs. Some ship from Canada but also with higher shipping costs. Local shops hardly stock any blu-rays anymore, one or two racks left in the major stores. Gaming got a lot more expensive! But my gaming store is still open and has tons of older games. I might just go VR and retro. Love VR too much to miss out, but find myself less and less interested in current AAA gaming. I mostly buy AAA games for my kids nowadays. |
Yeah both Elden Ring and Diablo 4 are listed as 450 on Amazon, which is 100 more than their 350 official launch price, but that's already really expensive and most people, me included, never pick up games for that price, it is (at least was) common to see those popular games on big discounts to 200 or 250 as pre-orders or soon after launch (150 to 200 when the official price was 300 last gen, that's the most I paid on games during or near launch).
Spider Man 2 I can find in other places in the 250 to 280 price range, Sony first party games are usually really easy to find used copies from, and as most PS games are heavily discounted if you don't want to play them asap.
Thinking about it, it took me years to find Sekiro in a decent price, maybe From Software prints are quite limited around here too nowdays, but with the Dark Souls series it was just like the rest, easy to find, usually big discounts and loads of used copies.
Gladly I already have a ton of games to play and I'm also hardly very hyped with current releases, but it seems like waiting for it to eventually get a good deal is also not working as well as it used to... sad times.
