Can anyone help me? I am looking for a shop that sells cheap copy of  skyrim(in a box), and ships international.

Or can anyone tell me if anyone thinks i will be able to find new copy of the game lower  than 25 dollars/20 euros during Christmas?

 

Thank you in advance!

    Doubtful, it's a newly released game and the price has been set by the publisher, not the companies who sell it. 

    You will have a better shot at getting it for that price next Christmas (2012)

    Should be able to locate some used copies by now. Lots of sites sell used copies. Pretty much your only chance at that price.

    With shipping costs you might as well buy it new.

    you will beable to pick it up for £15-£18 in january  and  probably £10-£15 in feb to march next year

     

    cheapest ive seen so far was £25  pre-order 

     

    but as a rule of thumb the games drop by 40-50%  within 40-50 days of release

     

    but due to the release date and  xmas and  skyrim being popular your unlikly to see it for less than £30  before january  or  sales after xmas 

     

     

    you could be lucky if you see a seller who has a lot of stock cant sell them and offers them before xmas but i wouldnt hold my breath

    You can get Skyrim (and a lot of games+even consoles) rather cheap in China. I haven't gone, but my friend went there and Skyrim is 10-15 dollars depending on who is selling it. Some stores sell it for 40 dollars, but they (from what he said) tend to be in the richer areas. But generally still cheaper than he found in US. He bought 3 copies of Skyrim for less than the price of one. He even found a rather good Xbox360 for 60 dollars. A PSP for 35 dollars and a ds for 20 dollars. Again, he said it depends where you go...as prices seem to vary. They aren't all the same priced like they are here.

     

    I would have waited for him to leave and get my own copy from him, would have saved quite a lot of money. Not sure why they are so much cheaper over there? Here in the US we paid 60 dollars for Skyrim lol...he bought three copies that ended up being cheaper than the price of one? Are games just generally cheaper over there or something? 

     

    So maybe find a friend who lives in China to send you stuff? Or go there and check it out? Supposedly a lot of things are rather cheap over there, compared to here. Anyway, I'm sure you can get Skyrim rather cheap that way, just make sure to get an English version (or whatever your native language is)

    You may be able to get a copy for 50-75% off during the Steam winter sale later this year.  But you have to be a steam member first.

    Well, not for 75%. But maybe around 25%, tops. I've never seen them go higher for newly released games. 

    http://www.g2play.net/store/The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim.html It's 20% less and I think it's a fair price as far as new games are concerned.

    ...And every copy of the game you get from China will be a pirated bootleg copy. They are one of the main reasons we all have to put up with draconian DRM copy protection now. Thanks a bunch China. image

    at the markets, yeah. But these are actual stores/businesses my friend went to, and I don't see a reason he would lie about that. He did take some pictures of his vacation there...and he definitely had gone to actual stores.

    In the stores as well... Pirating of Software, Videos, Music, Designer labels, Etc... is rampant in China. They have virtually no regulation to stop it so it's everywhere.

    I've always wondered if sites like g2play.net are legitimate?

     I was hoping it'd go on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I guess it's just selling too well and is too new of a release.

     Litterally everything else besides Skyrim, and also released before Nov.15th, went on sale for 50-80% less during Black Friday. So if it didn't go on sale then it likely won't anytime soon either.

     By the time it's in the $20 range at regular stores, the GOTY/All DLC edition will be out too lol. So you'll be right back where you started price-wise if you hold out that long (not much point in not buying the GOTY at that point either).

     

     Bottom line is, Elder Scrolls games don't get price cuts as quickly as other games.. So you can either buy it now, wait 2 years for the huge price drop, or wait 2 years to buy the GOTY for $49-59 :P

    Go to some shop and wait untill someone leaves with a copy of Skyrim and club him to death steal his copy and hide in some cave , make sure you dont get cought by imperial guards(if cought fight it out dont be pussy) and install it on your stolen gameconsole/rig with your bandit friends:D

    Ive learned this in Tamriel a longtime ago when i was visiting Morrowind's Balmoral city, corner club tavern from Camora tong's thieves from Khajiit there:P

    That maybe true but if the europeans and US citizens would not have buy or illegally downloaded games we would have no DRM so dont blame  only chinese for this, when there is demand they make but only when westerners demand  then they supply it work only both ways.
