    $43 on Amazon(360 version)

    A heads up, Amazon is selling this for $43 new for 360, I saw it this morning, not sure how long it will last.

    I was very much on the fence about getting this, but at that price I figure I can get it and at least see for myself if I can enjoy it(or hope for a patch). If not I should be able to get 90% of my money back selling on Half.com.

    It's not really Amazon selling it, but rather a marketplace seller offering the disc alone with no case or manual. I bought it last week. Perfectly good disc. I'm selling it on ebay now after buying a PS3 and The Show.

      Interesting, the Amazon page says it "ships and is sold by Amazon.com", I've bought things through marketplace sellers before on Amazon and they always clearly state that is the case on the page.

      If it comes without a case or manual it is getting sent back.

      I took a closer look:

      The top listing is through Amazon for $43, you can get it cheaper through a different seller, but based on all of my previous Amazon experiences, I think this is a case where it is actually sold through Amazon at the cheaper price. Hopefully anyway, I guess I'll find out.

          Wow, the bottom fell out of that quick! I guess this is a good indication of the demand for this game.

            That's for sure, I've never seen a game that's been out a week be discounted that much. Not a good sign for 2K, hopefully a solid patch gets released to generate some interest, but even then I think the damage is done. Hopefully it's a bit of a wake up call.

              I've got some Best Buy gift cards, so hopefully they'll drop the price too.

                Though not as quickly, All Pro Football went in the tank quickly. I got that for 10 bucks maybe a few months after release.

                Boy good think I threw this up on Ebay a few days ago. I"m already over $40 with 2 days to spare.

                  There isn't a listing under $50 on Half.com for it right now. I'm really surprised about the price drop, it's still the only option for 360 owners and although that doesn't ease anybody's feelings about the quality of the game, it certainly helps the demand.

                    I heard used games at gamestop going for cheap, some guy in the 2k forums said that they wanted to give him $8 for his copy, meaning they'd have to be selling cheap.

                      Thanks I picked it up; you can't beat saving $17 in just one week

                        My buddy bought the game for $15 last week, well actually its because he went to Circuit City during its blowout sale, bought an $80 Guitar Hero for $20, and then took it to Best Buy for the $80 credit.

                        $15 just about what the game is worth though

                          Well I'm up more than 43 on my auction with a few hours left, so I'm happy.
                          I got a feeling this will be $20 in a few months.

                            It is back to 59.99 at Amazon brand new. Weird.

                              I actually ended up getting $50 for this on Ebay! I'm ecstatic!

                              If the patch is great in a month when they release it, I'll pick it back up cheap. But at this point I'm going with the "Get out of Jail Free" card.
