Is it me or does it seem kind of messed up that gaming companies can charge so much but then a month or 2 after release the game is half price or even 60-70 percent off?
Hopefully there are some laws passed that protect the consumer. I know next year I’ll just wait a month and get the game for 25 bucks instead of 70 though.
Usually it only goes on sale for like 25% off; I wonder how bad it actually sold to force them into a 50+% off sale earlier than usual. Unfortunately, the HUT whales will probably make up for it ☹️
@TasteofChicago91 It’s not messed up, that’s just how everything is now with sales. I got my copy of NHL 23 digitally as part of Black Friday weekend here in the UK for roughly half price. On the flip side, I did pay £90 (roughly $110 USD) for PGA Tour 2K23 Deluxe Edition and I don’t regret it, even if someone else got it a month or two later for half the price. We all know what’s gonna happen when games come out and it’s our own choice whether to buy them new, during a sale, second hand or not at all.
…. And a few games I’ve bought i wish I hadn’t 😆
Rule of thumb... if the game is releasing a month or 2 before Black Friday then wait for the sale to get a nice deal unless it's Nintendo and they somehow hate giving discounts even on games years old.
@TasteofChicago91This happens everywhere. NHL tix drop significantly in price as the game approaches puck drop. EANHL may be the only pro-sports game you can buy on holiday sale and not fall behind in HUT/WOC.
Def save your money when it comes to these games
@Sega82mega 😆 There’s not many of us here in the UK at all. So much so that if you wanted a new physical copy of NHL 23 in the UK, you’d have to get it on import and pay more, unlike FIFA (of course), Madden and even NBA 2K.
… and to think I’ve played these since EA Hockey in 1991

Hehe makes you wonder whats wrong with you? Did you get hit by a puck in the head at a very young age or how did hockey find you?
But so you know, for me, you are the 'normal one', not the other of thoose soccer lovin' UK people.😜
Anyway, nice to have you in the hockey family.
