    Normal marketing. Squeeze twice the money from those who are agitated and can't wait, then go normal price.

    That's sale price. Amazon does it all the time. Guess what, Paypal is having a game sale, too.

    This means nothing, so I'm not sure why you're posting it as some sort of victory taunt or something.

    Bethesda is only selling the imperial edition as far as I can see on their website. Maybe trying to clear the regular editions out? Also these are physical boxes from amazon.

    One thing I will never do is pay for 3, 6 , or 12 month in advance for an unproven game.

    Note here the physical box is 39.99 but digital is still 59.99. When they run out of those boxes the sale is over.

    Hmmm, I've got 11,171 gold on me, who am I supposed to talk to in the mages guild about this? I've got my Goldbrand. Will that cover the 39.99 purchase price?

    Isn't it strange the digital prices remain the same?

    Seems like Amazon is just trying to get rid of boxes to me, than something more sinister.

    Oh no it's a sinister plot, very sinister. The most sinistry sinister plan that has ever been devised. They are putting it on sale to clear out the boxed content in the warehouse, how much more sinister can you get? Those sinsister evil doers.

    Top selling AAA games normally don't get a 33% haircut a month after launch but Amazon might be trying to push inventory out of its warehouses.

    The PC version of Titanfall selling at 32% discount but it did launch one month before eso.

    If you notice the digital editions are still the same price. They just want to sell all these boxes before Zenimax lowers the price on the digital editions.

    The digital download is regular price. It's just physical boxes are on sale. This isn't concerning at all really. For me its a lot easier to get the digital download than wait 2 days for a box on something I really want to play. So I can fully understand the price reduction on the boxes.

    If the digital download followed the same model then yeah I would think there may be an issue. Since it doesn't.... not worth a thread imo.

    Er.... begins? I got the game for 25% off on GMG, and most of my friends bought it for 20% off there as well.

    Before the game was even out.

    I bought my two copies of the Explorer Pack for ~34 euro per piece, also online. Still have to get the code for the explorer pack, by the way, but whatever. The place I bought it from now sells it for €25,99 ($36,19).

    Wow, from this title, I expected something different, like Skynet took over the interwebz, the Fire Nation attacked, HL 3 was confirmed, etc. But you are right, a sale on a game is almost as surprising.

    For the record, it has already begun long ago,.I bought my Impression Edition for £40 way before the release, on GMG.
