your thoughts on Dominions II

It's a valid concern, I think. $39.99 seems a lot cheaper than $45. And I think a lot of people actually choose which game to buy based on the price... though I would have suspected that those are the same people that buy all their games at Walmart. That's not a slam, BTW; a lot of people do buy their games at Walmart, and most people resent paying more than they expect for anything.

So, if a $39.99 price would remove that resentment (the feel of "gouging"), it would certainly be a good idea. But Shrapnel would never do such a thing unless they had reason to believe it would make a big difference.

Poll time...

Well, in fact it's only a $5 difference, I can't believe that people are so attached to $5 !
However from a marketing pov you're right : $39.99 looks like $30, that's "much cheaper" that >$40, and $45 is an above average price, this can also be a deterrent.
But as the game won't be in stores I don't think sales will be much impacted by the price anyway...
