I'm wanting this game digital because I can't get my hands on disc.. is the price not dropping because of the multiplayer still going active or..

CasaDeBen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Because its still a game people rave about. Why lose money if people are still willing to pay full price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Being a flagship title that hasn't had many predicesors, unlike titles like Assassin's Creed or Batman, combined with the factor that it has seen as many awards as it has -- it just hasn't been something necessary. A majority of the copies have already sold around launch time, if not near the end of 2013; it's really only been out for less than seven months. It has seen a few seasonal discounts; even a console bundle for 2013 Holiday. Will it ever get a price drop? Sure. It'll probably drop to $40 in the next month or so. But because of it's fiscal success, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the DLC made it's way out first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blendercat27 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 PSN in Europe and various physical retailers in many countries had discounts for the Last of Us over christmas. In my country, it was about $35 AU (I think. Something like that.) on PSN. JB Hifi had it for $49 boxed. Sorry you missed out, but keep your eyes peeled for future sales.

Death Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Amazon has it for $30-$40 new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Maybe you are not looking at right places? I quickly looked at ebay and it was £20 new and even Amazon is selling for half the original launch price as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Lilith Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well, we know someone who doesn't buy games online, don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVader66 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Due to the success of the game, The Last of Us will probably be 60 dollars for a while longer since it's has been months since it was release, People are still willing to buy it even at that price, Hell I am actually considering to buy it myself even at that price (but i am saving for a PS vita, so I probably won't buy it yet) and when I do buy it, chance are that it will still be above 40 dollars cause the game is consider a Masterpiece by many gamers.

Gaara Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Amazon has it for $30-$40 new. Well, we know someone who doesn't buy games online, don't we? Just order it online as mentioned above or go to a store that offers a price check like best buy and get it for the same price without having to wait for shipping.

antithesis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I bought it a month or so back for $30 on www.play-asia.com. Buy online, you'll save a tonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 As said several times, Order online - the reason it hasn't dropped in stores is mainly because they can still sell it at full price. Noone puts things on sale if they can make more margin for the same product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's a masterpiece that's worth the price. People are still willing to pay the full price for it, that being said, as previously stated you could look a bit more and you could probably find it for cheaper than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotakibono Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's rather simple when you think about it, man, and a few people here have alluded to it already: it's a game that will continue to sell at full-price for another few months because of its sterling reviews and reputation amongst gamers. The Last of Us is one of those universally lauded things that are a rarity in any medium, so if you were Naughty Dog and, say, Gamestop, wouldn't you continue to sell the game at the highest price until sale figures go down? It's basic business, my friend; don't drop the price until sales figures drop, then drop the price a little bit to lure more customers and raise the sales figures, rinse repeat. In other words, people are still buying the shit out of the game, and will probably continue to do so because it's being hailed as the greatest game ever by more than a few, and Gamestop and other companies know this.

Fawazc98 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I bought the game 8 months ago for 38 Dollars(US) lucky me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The price for The Last of Us is still high because so many people are playing it and want it. It's just as popular now as when it was first released,if not more so. It's a lot of money for a game that's been out almost a year,but trust me,every cent you spend for this game is worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Agreed, honestly I'm not going to forget the first time I played the game, and when I started to play Left Behind I felt like I w living in a parallel universe or something like that cause It was like too good to be true, I'm glad it was real Pretty much. Left Behind was so amazing. I was so into the game,and it was just like when I played Tlou for the first time. Game is perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
