Why is this game so expensive?
Because this game is NOT rare, in fact it’s the best selling game in the entire series. But for whatever reason on eBay the US 360 version specifically is 2 to 3 times the price of every other version, even other regions of the 360 version, like the Japanese version, is half the price. Over 18 million copies sold worldwide, THIS GAME IS NOT RARE!
Let me make this clear, though: I am NOT attacking this specific seller, or any sellers for that matter. I understand that these people are simply trying to make a living off second hand video games. I’m just venting about the idiots who bought the game at this price, and continue to do so. It’s becoming increasingly problematic for the retro gaming community as a whole, not just for this game or even just for the Xbox 360. I realize these sellers are simply trying to be competitive but come on, this is ridiculous.
A few months ago I made a similar post about this issue and it was only $45-50. I also didn’t pick the most egregious one I could find, this is the average. Burnout with Licensed Cars 2 (MW 2012) doesn’t help in the search for a reasonable price for MW 05 either.
