Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

Looking at the past trends in recently released MMOs, the price tends to drop a few months after release.  Take a look at Tabula Rasa, back in December I grabbed a couple copies (regular edition) for $9.99 on amazon, and the CE was around $20 then. 

LoTRO same thing, got the regular edition I believe it was last November for $9.99 on Bestbuy.com, CE was around $20 or so.  Im thinking this will contintue with AoC.   The only game I think where the price has remained steady has been WoW, and I dont see any games on the horizon able to sell that many copies.

Anyone else think the Collectors Edition willl be this cheap by the end of the year (Around $20-30)?  Or will it be one of the exceptions, in that the CE will sell out and no more wil be made, and instead be in high demand by then?

View all problems as challenges. Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow. Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great. More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.

It will definitely be in high demand, as with all the hype and the incredible goodies you get from the CE, they'll be sold out.

Behold! Rash of the Itch King comes in November! Quake in fear!

If AoC delivers then no I think it'll still be pretty high, if it fails (for the vast majority) then it'll probably be around $20-30 or lower.

Months ago, I picked Vanguard for $19.95 at a GameStop / EB Games retail store and it was not on-sale, used, clearance or anything special that I could tell. They had two on the shelf and, I am assuming, that since they were not selling and they needed the shelf space (for other products that actually sell) they just lowered the price hoping it would move. Places like BestBuy, Target or On-line stores, places with lots of shelf space, probably still have Vanguard for $49.

Yeah Vanguard is kind of different in that i still see various prices for it.  At Gogamer right now its $19.90 (reg edition), at Amazon its $29.99 and Walmart Its $49.

They should be paying me to play VG

Don't confuse a players ability, with a class being Over Powered.
