There's frame drops, screen tearing and a dynamic resolution of 720p-900p. No frame pacing though.
Final Fantasy XV $34.99 on Amazon PS4/XB1
- Thread starter FrostuTheNinja
- Start date
Even if the game is opened and the dlc codes used?
Don't preorder games. Especially around the holidays.

I wish it was that cheap in the UK. I plan on buying it soon. Like... this week soon.

If it's still that price in 3 1/2 hours I'll have it price matched.

You can get bb to price adjust through the holiday return window.
They probably saw the price on Cheapassgamer.com or their twitter which adds a referral link.

Lol.
Why would anyone in the US even keep buying games at launch?
It used to at least take a few months to see significant price drops on big releases. Now it seems like every big game is 50% off within 2-3 weeks of releasing. Even games that are, as far as we know, selling within expectations like Battlefield 1

This post is 100% fueled by salt from the fact that where I live games take months to drop in price and even then it means they are dropping from $70 to like $60 or $55

Lots of people buy at launch and then sell their games. For single player stuff it ends up being about the same overall costs.
Buy for $60 sell for $40. Versus buy for $40 sell for $20. Etc. Holidays can be a different beast though. Albeit many major retailers (Amazon aside) offer holiday price adjustments for non-bf/cyber Monday deals through January.
Also some people like to be apart of the zeitgeist of playing and discussing a game at launch. Mp populations also dwindle for some games after awhile.
The most annoying thing for me is these games being launched before they are done. So you get bad performance, missing features, etc. Seems to be happening a lot more this generation.

Waiting for sub $30, should be soon enough at this rate.

Buying it by itself would net you tax and shipping costs that would equal you to around how much best buy and target are planning to sell it for next week.
On top of that New egg had it for similar pricing with a code. Got my $40 copy yesterday
!
This is why I never buy games day 1, its just pointless.

Bought it on release day for £50 and I have no regrets. 95 hours in and still playing.
That's a lot of time back for my money.
Usually I would wait for the first major price drop (benefit of patches), but for certain games I will always day one.
So what if it falls even half the price or more a month later? I get to play a game I want to earlier. The savings aren't enough to prevent this being an attractive idea.

Still working my way through Skyrim again which led to me cancelling my FF preorder.
At this rate I'll probably hold off until after Persona 5...just knock out a few backlog games in between and grab FF when it hits sub $25ish.
Great price for those looking to get in, bad reminder for those not willing to wait.

He means return the new and sealed Amazon copy to whatever store you bought your first copy from.

Bit of a stupid sales question, but I'll ask here since it seems to be moving a lot faster than the other sales threads - is it better financially for a publisher to sell more games at a discounted price, or sell less games at full price? I've been surprised that Sony seems completely content to be selling The Last Guardian at full price pretty much world wide, whereas FFXV (Titanfall 2, etc) dropped in price quite quickly. Is it because TLG is a more niche title, so they probably wouldn't move that much product even with a price drop? I don't regret buying FFXV when I did, but I've been really surprised to see how quick the price drops have been for AAA games this year on console, I don't remember it being like this last year.

Don't think it really matters to publishers. It's the retailers offering discounts and eating the costs if they are discounting initial shipments no?
Yabberwocky

Ah, that makes sense. (You can really tell I don't work in distribution/sales!) I guess retailers aren't that worried about discounting TLG at present, then. Maybe there isn't a lot of copies to shift. It's been such a weird year, everything went on sale so quickly.

I've been doing a little better about day 1'n games that I don't seem to play until they go on sale anyway . Just waiting on a digital sale for this one though. I have all these big games I got on sale sitting around collecting digital dust while I play Stardew Valley as it is.

Jumped on this. Also had a credit from audible I didn't know about so it was only ten bucks. Cool.

I know the feeling. GameStop decides to give a $30 gift card with Xbox one days after I buy one. As for games, not buying until they hit $30. It's a real slap in the face missing a good deal.
What does Audible have to do with it? Can you use those credits for something other than audible books?

I wouldn't be that made if I bought on day one, but I just bought it like 3 days ago.

Yeah I just resubscribed to audible yesterday and had a 25 credit it applied to the game. My actual audible credit was used on a book.

Psa.
Game is gonna be $39.99 at bb next week. If you have gcu that's $31.99. Launch buyers from bb don't forget to price adjust.
$31.99+ $10 rewards. Not too bad.

If you price match this Amazon price at BB, do you not get GCU on top? I've never price matched at Best Buy but was thinking of swinging by today.

FF15 still holding its price in the UK for now though.

Ymmv but they aren't supposed to based on the fine print in their price match policy. I generally don't bother trying as they've never given me gcu on top of a price match with a competitor. They are supposed to with price adjustments (that's in the fine print too)
