Why would you pay $200 for a game? Give me some money if you have to blow away like that. LOL

Re: EB already has the game, but not selling.

I just came from Wal-mart with my family and they have July 18th posters up everywhere in the electronics section. No way they will sell it early.

Good point!

Re: EB already has the game, but not selling.

I'll be getting it the 18th, I'll call my EB once or twice before than, but I'm not going out of my way to find a store around ehre when I know I'll have a copy waiting for me when I wake up on the 18th.

Xbox 360 retail: $399 / sold on ebay: $1000 = 2.5 x the price of the system

NCAA 07 XB 360 retail: $59.99 / yuckmoufjonez: 259.99 (remember you still have to buy the game) = 4.3 x the price of the game.

That my friend, is stupid. (imo, of course)

Re: EB already has the game, but not selling.

The claim of people being stupid for spending X amount of money on a game doesn't work too well.

Those that are criticizing spending $200 early to get it could just as well be criticized when they pay full retail on the release date, instead of waiting a few months until it price drops. And those that wait for the first price drop, could be criticized for not waiting until it price dropped even further.

Each individual has their own individual wealth and ability to value any product. Criticism of the buyer by those that also intend to buy the same product seems to be ultimately hypocritical to me.

Not really, I can wait...$250 (imo)doesn't justify two weeks of playing the same product. If he can justify that, so be it. To me however, that's stupid.
