LudicrousSpeed said: Whether there is an issue or not depends on what the price was normally.
If they had Game A on sale for $20 but before this promotion, bumped it back up to its normal $40 price, there's nothing wrong with that.
If they had Game A dropped to $20 and before that it was $25 or $30 but they raised it to $40 for the sale, that's a shitty move.
Either way it's probably not an issue. And with digital console prices being so ridiculous, you'll pretty much always be able to find cheaper physical deals online. |
The order 1866 standard price has been £34.99 since May and now for this offer has been raised to £44.99
The Last of Us Remastered launch price was £39.99 and was boosted to £44.99 for this promotion
Shadow of Mordor was £39.99 as a standard price since August then raised to £44.99 for this promotion
There is some others as well that have minor increases along with a few games that have changed from £49.99 - £44.99 in price to fit this promotion, Even though you do save money with the price increases if you use the buy 1 get 1 free promotion, Instead of raiseing prices to do this all they needed to add was a smallprint "Pay for the highest price game and get the other free"
As an example if I bought UFC(£44.99) + The Order 1866(£34.99) you would still be paying £44.99 for them as UFC is the highest cost game of £44.99.
Doesn't bother me at all I only buy a select few things digital and I would just buy any of these e games if I want them for £10-£20 new or potentially even cheap ifyou go the pre-owned route.
