    Default This game should not be on sale this early.

    I looked online at prices and you can pick this game up for 26 bucks already. That just seems so wrong to me on so many levels its not even funny. This is Total War not some fly by night hack game. This is a AAA title and once again its Total War.

    When you release games such as these release them in a condition to hold their value more than 2 weeks this just seems so wrong in so many ways. The sales may not be there but price drops such as this so quickly are not good.

    Attila may be the best or the worst TW game but I hate to see this, I think everyone gets hurt in the long run by it. Keep prices high for a while adds value to your product if the product has any value.

    Well this is an unusual thread to say the least...

    this is just resellers, they even might sell attila at a loss but figure that you will return to them because you got a good deal in the past

    If you consider that half of the game is going to be sold separately through DownLoadable cut Content, such price drops are not that strange

    Rome II went on sale weeks after launch, too. It's kind of the MO, which is why I never pre-ordered this one (laughable!) or have even been tempted yet. Summer time this will be on sale and bundled with all of the current DLCs for like half price.

    Firstly, why are we complaining that we get games more cheaply? Surely this will just encourage more sales.

    Secondly, the price of a game, or anything for that matter, is not indicative of its quality. Neither is the accolade of AAA. The Order 1886 is priced as a full AAA title and its 5-7 hours long with no re playability apparently. As for the Total War name justifying a high price, Rome II was a Total War game...

    Are you talking about those sites that sell you a game key that requires a russian IP address to function?

    I just cant remember a TW falling so much in price so quickly, especially a title which appears well recieved by those that purchased it for the most part. I saw that price and thought what the hell is going on here that was quick.

    I don't trust those sites at all. Unless it's an authorized retailer, I do not buy. Friends of mine used to be cheap and buy things like that, they always got duplicated CD keys or such.
