Wow! It's too bad there are no Best Buy around where I live but you guys should go buy it right now and get a refund when the deal begins (June 30th).

I don't know if that's only in Canada though.

Games are $80? That's really quite expensive.

Well 30$ + 40$ = 70$ :P

Hahahahaha, man I'm a nubbin, I could've sworn it said "save $50"... but my point still stands - shouldn't they really be around the $50 mark?

New games are 69,99$ in Canada these days.

Nice price for a great game! Unfortunately it may not selling as expected by BestBuy.

Wow, thats a little early for a price cut already, I wonder if this is Sony's doing or Best Buy's. Also the deal with the PS3 with 2 free games is a good deal as well.

wow, that's better than the deal they had for GTA Chinatown Wars

if I lived in Canada I'd be so tempted.

Best Buy -- and all retailers -- occasionally sell something rather cheaply to get people in the door.
This sale was probably decided upon before the game even released. (I have seen Best Buy offer a game on sale on release day, only to reset the price the following week.).

Thus, sales this early in a game's cycle, especially ones that are announced in pre-printed circulars/newspaper advertisements, cannot be used as signs of poor or lower-than-expected sales. But they are certainly worth taking advantage of if you can.

Best Buy had a similar sale back around Christmas time where they had LittleBigPlanet on for $29.99. I tried to pick up a copy on the first day of the sale but they had already sold out. I tried the other two Best Buy in my area, but they were also sold out. They only replenished their stock of LittleBigPlanet after the sale was over.

As mike_intellivision mentioned above, the sale it used to get people in the door. Most stores will only have a few copies for the sale.
