Can somebody explain to me all this talk about bargain price when the GoW game is in the Full Price list?

does this help?

No. Because I'm asking why the game is in the Full Price list? I'm not doubting the bargain price.


Probably because the game is still officially full price.

Not surprising that that Soul Sacrifice isn't doing to well in the UK.
Good to see God of War doing well. Price promotions no doubt.

Tomb Raider has great legz. Why is Square Enix disappointed in its sales again?

Makes sense... so even if the stores give discounts what counts in the official price.

Bargain bin status for God of War Ascension seems to be holding it in the charts. Gears of War Judgement is still full price for some reason, it really could do with a discount to boost sales.

Full Price?

That seems like a flash sale from 2 - 3 weeks ago at a retailer I have never even heard of... Gears if still full price at the main retailers, Amazon, Play and Game. 

Use up to date figures and check your facts next time please. ie;

Tesco may just be a supermarket, but its the 2nd biggest store for video games in the Uk. 

GOWJ = full price

GOWA = Discounted

That full price chart is not accurate at all. The concept of a ''full price'' chart is redundant anyway as this late in the gen most games are half price after a month of release... There are plenty of bargain bin games in that list that can be brought for much less than £20, like Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3, Halo 4. 



Why has nobody talked about the impressive (an not so impressive) attach rates. Of the top 20;

10/20 are Xbox 360 games, outstanding for a 7 year old console.

6/10 are PS3 games. Solid performance.

And rightfully so, none of the games in the top 40 are Wii U games.

Ascension showing some good legs, better its above gears which is surprising actually. and look at uncharted 3 being in the charts that game is a beast!


Oh don't you know its because God of war is in the bargain bin? Its the only reason it can compete against "Full Price" Gears of War. ;)

God of war £20: http://www.game.co.uk/en/god-of-war-ascension-170877?pageSize=20&categoryIdentifier=10225&attributeName1=Price%20Range_EN_GB&attributeValue1=7 

Gears of War £24.85: http://www.simplygames.com/info/19680/Gears-of-War-Judgement-Xbox-360 been that price for 3 weeks. 

Oh Uncharted was £9.99 (Now £14.99, NEW) http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/uncharted-3-game-of-the-year-edition/10609838.html?affil=awin&awc=2549_1367926347_9f3aab692cb7b7dd872f81718ae22e02&utm_source=AWin-47868&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=AffiliateWin

you posted pretty much the same post three times, let it go bro. and just look at the full price charts. geez, also its not like gears is 60$ and GoW is 20 in the links you have out. again, geez



How did Lego City 3DS rise in sales? I know it had extra days, but it does not seem like the title to do that kind of stuff.
Tomb Raider is still doing good too. I wonder when it will fall.

Nope, both are discounted, though GOW much more than Gears.

I was actually being sarcastic in those posts saying that God of War was only ahead because it was "Bargain bin" price. The price discrepency as shown by my links wasn't sufficient enough clearly. Its just an ode to a cetain someone with the GT5 and "Full Price Forza" debacle.

@Foodfather check your facts Gears of War Judgement was £24.99 over 3 weeks ago at Simply games then went up to £28.85 then down to  £24.85, clearly not full price. 

On play.com its £29.99 again not full price.

Regardless both are performing poorly for their respected platforms and the UK is getting crapper and crapper each year. 



PSP Lifetime more than PSV+3DS Lifetime.
