PSA: Gamestop ups price of Professor Layton 2

August 26, 2009 in News comments 4

First with Wii MotionPlus and now Professor Layton.

Gamestop is deliberately raising the price of Professor Layton and The Diabolical Box for no reason. GoNintendo (and probably most gaming sites soon enough) has noted that they were hard-pressed to find any other retailer selling the game at $35.

Don't buy from Gamestop!

...GameStop is charging just a bit more for Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. I was hard-pressed to find a retailer that didn't charge $29.99 for the title. I didn't take pictures from all the retailers I checked out, but there were many more that had the $29.99 price tag...sometimes even a dollar less. The only retailer to charge $34.99 is GameStop.

    Actually, there is a reason:
    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    But yeah.
    There's so many reasons not to buy from GameStop I could cry.

    The best way to solve this issue is not to buy from them. LOL Amazon usually has $5 off brand new games right off the bat.

    It sucks how little competition there is for game-selling stores. At least here in Canada. EB Games pretty much dominates and they are pretty terrible (at least for PC games.)

    Check it out for yourself: has to be the saddest retail gaming website:

    http://www.ebgames.ca/pcgames/

    You can't even order games online through them, and their entire inventory of PC games is like 8 titles.
