SE5 Discontinued ??

My Local EB Games told me the same thing when I noticed all of their SE5 copies were gone from last week and asked when they would be getting more.

I suspect that the game didn't sell well enough at stores for them to keep it on the self. This doesn't mean that the game has been discontinued just that the profit vs. self space is low. The Best Buy in my area had 5 copies 3 weeks ago and they still have one left.

I would chalk it more to the fact that stores like EB games are heavily focused towards the console market and only the biggest PC titles have any significant shelf life.

Here in Sydney, Australia I saw a copy of Space Empires 4 on the shelf two days ago.

The Best Buy in my area has the same amount of self space dedicated to pc games as any one console. I have more PC games than the EB in my area, which is sad.

Dodd, How long has the game been on the self? The Best Buy I go to has had the same poor selling game on the self for months and since they refuse to bargin bin anything it'll sit there for months to come.

Unsure, but I think it was going for about 30$ Australian. It was at the local EB in my area.
