Why is it that Eye of the North is £24.99 in the online game store and plaync store but.. only £17.99 in GAME UK and HMV??

Plaync recommend GAME and HMV as a store on their site yet the game is cheaper in the store.

If anything it should be cheaper online considering we dont get the box with the box art, manual or CD...

Buying it online means that it is almost the same as a new full campaign price of £29.99.

anyways, if anyone is considering buying GWEN online then get it cheaper through a normal retail store like GAME.

GAME still sells it for £25 here and offer the "Exclusive GAME bear sleeve!" which they never have in stock, nor does it interest me. Hot blonde chick or a bear... hm...

Because stores can charge what ever they want. Anet suggests a price and then leaves it to the stores.
