Once steam or any other retailer offers it for $20, I will have no choice but to pick it up. Hopefully by then they have all the problems worked out of it!
 I really want to play this game.

Same here. I also did this with Rift and got the game for £15, because no pay to play MMORPG is worth a full £40 (UK) for the box. Just look at Rift now... I can get the box for £5.

not even 2 weeks though hasnt even been 2 weeks, I am not saying that because of this its going to fail thats just stupid, but the price drop came too early, even the CE droped 15 bucks or so.

But you are hopeful that it will fail?

There were 10 copies avail @ 40 dollars then earlier this morning it was changed to 44 and now still a few copies remaining for 44 and the rest @ 52 dollars. If you are paying 59.99 its just not the way to go.

Looks like it's sold by some fly-by-night seller, not amazon.

is it cheaper at game stop lets look....NOPE...hmmmm....shut up fan boys and troll your own forums

Fail troll topic in disguise :( the game sold by 3rd party sellers and not amazon. Those seller always sell games at a lower price. I mean why whould anyone buy from johns store? when they can buy from amazon. Unless john is giving good price. lol @ this board for keep falling for topics like these.

EDIT: lol the only 2 people selling the game for 45 bucks is a new seller with 76 sales made so far (just trying to get his internet company off the ground), and another selller with 2.5 star satisfaction rating (also charges 7.99 for shipping lol). This is a troll topic now confirmed. Hahahaha.

You won't see this on Steam anytime soon, which is really sad since it would probably offer something like a temporary 25% or 33% discount in a month or two (bought Arkham City with a 50% and Skyrim with a 33% discount on the holiday sale, both games which were very recently released).

It's sad that EA had to resort to boycotting key titles in order to push Origin as a viable competitor on the digital sales market.

But its somehow NOT sad for Valve to do the exact same thing with its games? double standard much?

Gotta love all the whining about EA doing something Valve has been doing for almost a decade.

Funny unless you run an Amazon business. Then it's crippling :D

If you are lucky hopefully it gets dropped into steams RNG and gets 50-75% off.

That isn't a random number generator.

That is publishers working with Steam to provide mutually beneficial promotions for both companies.

Steam will promote games that will sell well, and publishers want to promote games that will sell well (Win / Win).

That picture has Amazon offering the game for $52, discounted from its standard price of $59.99 due to some promotion.  The $44 price you highlghted is from secondary sources.

Steam should really be cheaper anyways, they have no of the retail costs someone who actually ships the game have.

Anyways, TOR will just like all other P2P MMOs drop in price pretty fast, because most of the income they get is from subscription fees, not box sales. GW2 on the other hand will keep it's price a lot longer, it is just simple economics.

Its not an official seller yes but how ever the history on that seller is 5 years and growing with 97% positive review, the one that is selling for 52 is the one that does deals each day he offered the game @ 40 USd yesterday today morning @ 44 USD and now 52 usd selling 30 copies each day at different prices also with a long history with amazon.

So to conclude the price drop has started. that was the main title no? weather it be 6 dollars or 8 dollars or 15 the prices are dropping, except for origin walmart etc etc etc.

That is a third party retailer. One I've never heard of no less. Their name is musicmoviesgames not Amazon.  

Thanks for reinforcing my point though!

Here's the screenshot you SHOULD have taken, if you were trying to be honest and not misleading.  

Also notice the 3.99 shipping for the cheap one. Which makes it $56 compared to Amazons $59.99 with free shipping.  

Also there were several people selling it for more than retail. More people selling it at a higher price than a lower price.

Should I start saying "The SWTOR price rise has begun!"  Nope.

So basically ehat you are saying is people looking for cheaper prices are retarded and should look at the counter that people are selling it for more and consider this that, that is what the game is worth?

ok got it!

ps - it still dropped in price to 52 even if it is just 52 and thats what you will believe did it not drop in price?
