Holy shit. Good deal. Too bad about international shipping rates.

 

[MoxManiac]

It's been that price for awhile. Based on ATLC, I wouldn't buy it even at that price.

why pay when i can make crap myself?

 

[Wario64]

Still doesn't seem worth it..

$10 too high

Not even worth it if someone pays you to play it

I still want the $40 I originally paid back. Give it back to Working Designs, Sony, you're not fooling anyone.

And why does the used copy cost $10 more than the new copy?

because they are idiots. it always makes me laugh when the games are discounted and used ones are priced higher.

Oh my God, how many times is a person going to point out that used games are sometimes more expensive than new ones. IT HAPPENS. GET OVER IT.

Take it easy man! It just seems so stupid from a business standpoint to be selling a used copy higher than a new copy. And it happens all the time. If anything, the new copy of the game should be $20 and the used one should be $10.

Here's the answer to the question:

EB sometimes has too many games in-stock, because, obviously, they over-estimated the demand and ordered too many from distributors. They drastically reduce the price to clear out a good amount of a certain game, thus making newer, and even pre-owned ones, rarer. As a result, the company theoretically creates demand for a product, and can raise the price of pre-owned games even HIGHER than they were at the time of the substantial price cut to the new item. By hanging onto pre-owned ones, and keeping the price higher than the clearance product that's new, they don't lose much money on the credit they gave away for it, and can possibly make more money from it when people trade it in later, especially if the price goes up. UNDERSTOOD, BITCH?

It isn't.

dont wanna pay full price for disgaea

Yes you do.

There's nothing accidental about this. Buyers benefit from the cheap price, and the company lowers inventory, which is a key aspect of financial reporting for a company. The company I work for actually has our incentive plan tied to having a low inventory value at the end of the fiscal year.

The game isn't TERRIBLE...but it's painfully average compared to what it could have been. I would have preferred more depth in the racial overtones between Kharg and Darc, as opposed to the superficial way TOTS dealt with it, but whatever. It's better than a sharp stick to the balls.
