Buffy (X-box) for $29.99 (1 Viewer)

[Dean DeMass]

Amazon.com and Link Removed has Buffy the Vampire Slayer for $29.99. If you don't already have this game, I would easily pick it up for this price. IMHO, it was worth the $49.99 price tag that it formerly had.

It can't have sold that badly, it's gotten great reviews and it's a great game

 

[Jeff Kohn]

Maybe they overstocked expecting it to be a huge mega-hit. I held off on buying this when I heard it wasn't 16:9, but at that price I'll go ahead and pick up a copy.

Good price I might have to look into this...

Is it $29.99 at any EBX B&M store?

 

[Dean DeMass]

Chris,

I believe this price can be had at the actual EB stores as well.

Thanks can be given to Dean Cooper for creating these for us HTFers on X-box Live.

I ordered this yesterday when I saw that price. Their shipping is pricey at EB Games, I noticed. $5 for ground shipping.

I'm looking forward to the game.

Definite pick up. I played for the first time at darius's house the other night and thought it was awesome. Going to get it now.

It can't have sold that badly,

By the end of August (not sure of the games release date) Buffy sold 29,823 units. Just some fun information.

 

[BrianB]

And by the end of September, it's allegedly sold a total of 42k according to the figures doing the rounds.

Of course, those aren't 100% of the market.

 

[Mike Pattee]

Is that # good or?

 

[Dave Falasco]

I know jack squat about videogame sales figures, but 42k seems a little low, no? Anyone know on average how many units a game has to move in order to break even?

Maybe the game would have sold more if they...I don't know...advertised it????

 

[Calvin Watts III]

Guys, my TRU also has Buffy at that price.
I'll be picking that up.

Its not exactly tearing up the charts if thats your question.

I agree with what was stated above though, the game would have moved a bit more units if it had been advertised during or around the time of the show.(which would have only made sense)

From a post at another forum:

trust me, I work at EB, the only time we ever reduce prices, even temporarily is if we have too many in stock and they aren't moving out. We got like 16 or so Buffy's when it first came out. We only have 14 of those original copies left. 15 two days ago.

 

[Dave Falasco]

Wow, it's not often that a license works against a game. But I can understand people being turned off of the game if they aren't fans of the show--the remark that the game would probably have done better if it was called Slayer is dead on, IMO.

I wonder if the upcoming Dark Angel will suffer the same fate?

 

[BrianB]

I wonder if the upcoming Dark Angel will suffer the same fate?

Prediction: sell much less than Buffy.

The game is advertised almost every day during the FX broadcast. $29.99 bucks is a steal. It's the 2nd best Xbox game, IMO.
