Re: Is this good or bad?
If the game is at retail this will happen with SEV also. You have to remember, the retail stores have limited shelf space. There are new releases continually coming out. Retailers will drop pricing quickly on titles that don't move off the shelves fast so that they can give that space to a title that may move quickly. Average lifespans of most titles before the price is dropped is 6 weeks. If SEV goes longer that that, they have a winner. But 6 months is about all you can hope for...

Re: Is this good or bad?
I know... I just rarely see games get marked down to $10 unless they REALLY, REALLY suck...

Re: Is this good or bad?
Is that so? Was my $10 investment in MOO:II a bad decision?

Suck, or just really old? You can buy Starcraft for $10. You can buy those Diablo games. You can buy some old Ceasar games for $10. I sometimes see Baldur's Gate I/II for $10.

Re: Is this good or bad?
Oh, wow... I thought that the good old games only made it down to $15 or $20, and only the crappy ones (MOO3, Generic Derivative FPS #63,872, etc.) made it any lower

Maybe the CA retail market is different from the Ohio one.  |

Re: Is this good or bad?
I bought Starcraft last year for $10 in the bagain bin at Office Depot. I was ecstatic!
