Just bought the last few off the shelf from my Target in Michigan.

And like above, it was newer and did not have a price cut tag, just all labeled as 9.99 like it had always been that price or something.

They did have a large chunk of PC games with price cuts though. I almost bought a few other games....

I never thought I'd see the day. A store that sells it at its actual value.

Boy oh boy! I've been playing this awesome game for four months now. Too many bills to own more than Prophecies and Factions... but if this current price cut is going on here in Minnesota, I'm sold!

Besides, I need something to motivate myself to get more of my characters to level twenty. I've only got one... the rest are in their teens. I usually get bored and delete them to make new ones.

Does anyone know if Iowa is included in Target's generosity? If so, I might make a trip to pick up a copy for my wife's account this weekend.

I've updated the OP to include every state with confirmation thus far, but it sounds like its nationwide.

Would you have waited until now for this price drop to play GW:EN? I wish I had that kind of patience.

This price drop isn't losing money for Target. It's a loss leader. If you buy GW:EN, then you have to buy one of the campaigns to go with it.

The money they lose on making profit from GW:EN was probablly of set by my impulse purchases (though I really did need the phone card).

And this illustrates beautifully exactly how a loss leader works and why it's a good marketing strategy.
