Especially tears of the kingdom.

If you want tears of the kingdom it is cheaper to buy the “old version” second hand OR new and get the $10 upgrade. Please don’t be buying this

    New Switch 1 version is $70, unless on sale, so with $10 upgrade it becomes $80.

    Buying on sale is a good option though.

      It’s new math. In this new approach, the important thing is to understand what you’re doing rebroadcast the narrative, rather than to get the right answer.

          You are correct and I’m wrong. But right now you can get it on sale for around $50 at Walmart.

              Assuming you are serious, this is a bit of exaggeration, but when compared to other games, you can say that. Their digital games go for about 30% sale at max, but that is also very rare. Though some games have more sales than others.

              Physical on the other hands have different amount of sales, depending on retailers.

              This is only for their first party games though, third party games regularly go on sale, and generally have similar (but not always same) pricing as other consoles.

    I’m torn here… PS5/XBox games brand new can easily go this high or much higher (definitely seen a bunch over $100, especially for special editions and such.) and I recommend absolutely no one does that either…

    However, if no one bought them new for whatever the cost, I’d not be able to get used copies secondhand.

    Sales are obviously the way to go, but used games basically account for the majority of my physical copies, especially for Nintendo stuff. I just happen to like physically owning things.

        Xbox has announced that some of it’s games will be $80 now. The Outer Worlds 2 is the first one but more will continue.

        Sony and other third party publishers haven’t announced any price increase yet though, it is expected by many people that most of them will make the jump within an year or so, but since they haven’t done it yet, we can’t count them.
