Last I checked it was $19.99 Why is it $39.99 now in the online shop? I mean thats sort of a rip seeing as it's EOTN..And Factions is still at $39.99 aswell..

its $9.99 at Target. Just if you want a good deal on it For some reason they dropped the price and that's how I got my hands on it

They should seriously drop some of these prices. Wasn't these games both $40 at launch?

Still weird, why do they charge that much in the online shop?

$20 bucks more is a bit of an over kill.

Well, if it's that much of an overkill, just go buy it from a store :P

Quite frankly, you're getting your money's worth whether you pay 19 or 39 bucks...

Retailer stores are allowed to charge whatever they want for products. They can ignore the suggested retail price set by a.net and sell for whatever they want (higher or lower then the suggested price).

A.net has NO control over what Target (or any other store, just using this as an example) does, since Target already paid A.net for the copies of the games in their stores. Target is just lowering price to get rid of overstock.

Makes it hard to choose between Factions or EOTN if they're both the same price.

Anet doesn't exactly like charging fairly for crap, imho.

I bought the Nightfall and Factions skill packs the week before they changed the price to $9.95 or whatever it is now. That's nearly $30 difference. /humph

I'm still mad at them about that.

You are pricing something. Store ABC sells it for less than store XYZ.

Buy it from ABC and be happy. There is no need to QQ to the community about XYZ.
