Skyrim cheaper than ever |
Listed in: News Tags: skyrim discount, skyrim holiday deal, skyrim on amazon
Skyrim is now going at $49.99 on Amazon with free shipping, which is reportedly the cheapest so far according to Kotaku. But over in the UK, Gamestation was selling the title at £22.99 last weekend, which currently translates to $35. It’s now back up to £27.99, which still comes to $43, for a brand new copy.
Personally, these prices have pushed me to pick up a copy for the 360 today, so it’s working its magic on at least one person.
The possibility to transfer saves between the 360 and Windows version is also worth noting (3rd party tools), which combined with these prices (£19.99 for the PC release) makes this a game that I can see a good few people picking up on multiple platforms.
Gaming is the most expensive of the media outlets, so seeing this kind of generosity (great marketing plans) makes me smile. If only we had price drops this drastic and quick more often. Mike Foster posted earlier today that Bethesda shipped 10 million copies of the game, which may be the reason stores can afford to sell the game at such prices.
Will you pick the game up? And what’s the lowest you've seen the game at where you live?

It's called business competition, if you get them to buy one thing in your store with retail, chances of other purchases rise, especially with the savings. Steam is great, but picking up little accessories or even a preowned game isn't happening.
Retail LIVES off accessories and preowned, far less royalties.

though I also preordered it during E3 to take advantage of the $10 off any preorder of a game shown at E3.

No staff discount, but you cannot go wrong for half price! Gamestation is being very craft since once you get a customer in store, its easier to attach accessories, which equate to much greater profits than normal. That and coaxing people off digital copies which are going to kill the retails stores in about a decade I feel.
