What is your point?

Ubi doesent tell the retailers what to charge for the product. The retailers have already paid for it.

Its called lowering prices to move stock.

I've said it before, the measure of success of a game is directly proportional to how much time elapses before you see it in the bargain bin. It took years for COD : MW to even get down to 20 £ and that was a GOTY edition. SH 5 has lowered price what 2 months after being published ? You can bet that in June this game will be 5-10 $/£/€. A true success.

That's about all it's worth truth be told. Hell, I bought SH4 CE for £17.00 on release!

If it was flying off the shelves or there were not some other problem with the product it would not be reduced to clear or move stock, just a few weeks after its release.

The point is that SH5 isn't selling well (due to the economic depression, DRM, buggy half-finished reputation, etc). If it were, retailers wouldn't be lowering the price so quickly or so soon.

its not about how much actully ... I would pay 100$ for a good u boat sim ubi treated subsimmers terrible with an unfinished product ((NOT GONNA SUPPORT THAT BY BUYIN)))...hopefully this is ubi last attempt

Download prices haven't dropped at all. More people buy that way then hard copies now. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Maybe im hallucinating but when i was on Amazon Uk a few days ago reading the avalanche of crappy reviews i thought it was just under £30.

Don't feed the trolls.

And don't discount the possibility that Ubi will see the light and fix the oppression. Always leave the door to redemption open a crack, even when the battle is joined.

Sonarman · 03-20-10, 12:34 PM

Amazon UK prices are like a yoyo. Prior to release time SH5 LE was £40.99 on release it was £30.99 now it's £35.99 it's pot luck with them.
