First if someone lives on our side of great pond he can buy it really cheap now :)

Second it clearly shows that sales are below initial expectations (kinda like Motorstorm 2 or Prince of Persia or LBP)

Wait, does that show it's selling poorly? I'd have thought that just means someone has it on sale...

thing about GTA is most people expect it to be 3D. Not many people remember the good old GTA. Sadly I feel this is why it isn't selling well as it is not a true 3D game.

So?

On Amazon.co.uk Marketplace the cheapest price is £10.59 while the most expensive is £50.37, without shipping costs.

Play.com always slash prices. It is a big cut though. I would not be surprised if its not selling as well as expected. At least its more affordable now.

Amazon.com has dropped the price a couple times below $25 then raised it back up. Could be just another way to temporarily boost sales. When it's a price drop across the board, than that will be something to post about.

only really effects the publisher is there was a cut in the sell to store price and i doubt there is

Well how often do you see Modern Warfare or WaW dropping to 1/3 of the price or how long did it took for GTA 4 price drop?
Fast price drops are good sign that there's huge amount of copies in the warehouse (meaning demand was overestimated).

I hated this game. Dealing drugs got boring. After that it was like being transported back to the mid 90's playing GTA2.

Less time than this took, I remember seeing copies of GTA4 at half price less than a month after release.
