Lotro 7 euro's in Europe?

AckbarNL

Ok at some stores here in the Netherlands i have seen this game for 7€,

Why is that isnt that a little bid to cheap, If i would see it i almost would think its one of those games that does not hold your intrest for more then 2 hours, ofcourse i know better, but come on at least 20€ is still decent.

Or not?

My guess would be that the stores know that once the Moria expansion releases this Fall/Winter that their existing stock of LoTRo is going to be really hard to sell at all.   So, they sell it for what they can before the expansion comes out.

 

I know that's true of a lot of stores in my area.  They are completely sold out of LoTRo and have said that they can't get new stock until Moria ships.

Isn't 7 euros about 20 US dollars now anyways?

It is about $ 11 US, actually seems reasonable a year after the release and with expansion comming out.

 

I think that the store in question has a good deal, in my nick of woods it is still $75 for box and the price is pretty uniform for all the former YU countries.

 

Oh, just for kicks LOTRO sells in Croatia for 399 Croatian kunas, AoC (when it hit the stoers) will be priced at 349 Croatian kunas = P

PS

I am now waiting for openedge1& co to come in and serve the usual tirade of EQ II is roxxorz while LOTRO is suxxorz.

Here's what I think about low prices for LOTRO: GOOD! I mean, if the game has a price point that will entice more people to try it, that's an increased chance of more people liking the game, and thus more subscribers. That benefits both Turbine and us players of LOTRO.

In other words, there's no doom and gloom and it doesn't mean that the value of the game, in terms of content and market potential, has droped.
