      That causes inflation for the rest of us when consumers prove they will buy at a higher price than reasonable.

      I am curious though...is that really how people are getting these games early? Extra dough?

      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

        The only question might be is is the seller itself open since that's business preference.
        Awesome! Great post!
        Ok SO Cal, we will have it by Friday, Saturday or Monday then.

          I think it's just that they have mom and pop shops that get the game. And then call them the week before a release and ask if they have the game.

            Pretty much.

            Only time I ever got it was when I was in Baltimore a few years ago around this time and got a tip from a fellow OS'er about a spot.

            Had to pay cash only (and if I recall they might have charged $80) and were very reluctant to sell it to me initially until I convinced them I wasn't there to get them in trouble.

            Not all places charge more though, most are just happy to get your sale over Best Buy getting it.



            And before anyone asks, I couldn't tell you the name of the place if I wanted to as I don't remember and I don't believe (based on the last few years of conversation here) they even sell it early anymore.

              It's all relative to how much someone wants to spend. In other words, it's worth as much as someone is willing to spend. For example, In May, I'm going to pay $225 for 4 tix to a Yanks luxury suite on August 6. Now to me, that's cheap, because in comes with everything included, no extra money needed at the park. But to someone else, that could be super expensive, even if they're on the same budget as me. And believe me, I'm not rich. It's just when I buy myself something, I like to go all out. Lol, the 80 inch tv I've got is a great example.
              1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

                  The federal reserve is open, it's not a public holiday.

                    Plus the MLB is the one that makes the release date now.

                      That's not true either. They set a date it can't be released before. Not the actual release date.

                        Alright I wasn't sure on the specifics I thought it was that they set the release date.

                            I'm neither. Just been down this road before. Guy has a few copies of the game, puts one up for bid to gauge how big of a market there is for the game and a potential price point. Sells that one copy, then sells additional copies at a fixed price.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                              Literally no other options for buying video games here in Boston other than a big box retail place...
