What? It had come down in price, but it was still very over-priced for a three-year old game. What is so ****ing difficult to understand about that? I originally said Nintendo games are over-priced - being over-priced doesn't necessarily mean it always stays at launch price. In future come up with better arguments than just "fail" - you're making yourself look like the average internet stereotype.

I've had nothing but success from eBay. I got 4 GameCube controllers with extension cables for $20.
lair is still $60 there too. you'd think they'd lower the price of trash...shoeman12it's pretty damn nice looking trash

If there's one thing Lair has going for it, it is the visuals.
This is Nintendo, they rarely lower prices before 3-4 years after the game is released, the DS has been the only exception. Just look at the Wii itself. it's a GameCube with a remote, yet it costs almost the same as a 360.UssjTrunksthe 360 is just an xbox with better graphics

the ps3 didn't even cost that much to manufacture at launch. microsoft never sold the 360 at that much of a loss. they're profiting now which means it costs less to make the 360 than it does to sell it. do you have a link to that $750 cost?
Wi-Fi is a gimmick? tell that story to all those router companies
It's hardly more powerful. The VC, Wifi, and other gimmicks can't be that expensive. I understand that it costs more than a GC to produce, but it shouldn't be anywhere near the price of a 360.UssjTrunks

Yeah i dont know why it hasnt gone down.If a game still sells well why would you take away maximum amounts of profit possible by dropping the price? Most big selling games have stayed full price for years, halo for instance was 49.99 for the majority of the original Xbox's lifespan. A game doesn't become a Players Choice or Platinum choice game simply because of high sales. They are given to games that had initially high sales that ultimately dont sell well at full price any more.l The idea is to bring interest back to the title by a lower price point.
i also dont know why theres no Player's Choice titles.

When it comes to the technical side of things, it's not that nice. There's slowdown, pop-in, and more.

Lair is down to $29.99 at EBgames now.its not nintendos choice to lower prices. Its the retailer. Zelda is probably shipping at a very low cost to retailers. but due to high demand, they decide to price it high.
Same with PS2. retailers can if they want price it at £50. but it is still £100 due to demand.
no its nintendos decision. retailers can charge whatever they want for used games i believeits not nintendos choice to lower prices. Its the retailer. Zelda is probably shipping at a very low cost to retailers. but due to high demand, they decide to price it high.

Wow, Nintendo. Isn't it time to lower the price finally? Assassin's Creed sold like hotcakes, and the price went down fairly quickly. In fact, come to think of it...EVERY MAJOR LAUNCH TITLE that was a hit now has a lower price. Not so with teh Twilight Princess though. Nope. And so I don't get owned, I'm referring to the Wii version.
