Videogames are expensive.
Okay, you’re probably pointing towards Steam and Indie Bundles as proof to prove the opposite. Let me rephrase.
New, AAA games are really expensive.
For $60 a pop, chances are, unless you’re making close to six figures, single, and can afford to live a swankified life, you can’t afford more than one or two new videogames a month. So you pick your favorite one or two new releaase of that month and then weep silently for the rest of the year, waiting for your unpurchased videogame wants to drop in price. (Unless you really want the new Call of Duty. Then you’re a bit shit out of luck until the next one comes out.)
Thank god for the holidays. Everybody puts videogames on sale in anticipation of the Christmas rush. What you wouldn’t pay for $60, you would definitely pay for maybe $10 less. After all, you’re saving some money that you wouldn’t otherwise save rigt? And it’s the holidays, it’s ok to do some splurging…
Except everyone has different deals. And how is it physically possible for you to know whether Walmart, Best Buy, or GameStop has the best deal on Skyrim at this moment and time?
I got you covered.
Direct yourself over to www.gamepric.es. Yes, that’s a legit site url (and clever too.) GamePric.es takes every deal and throws them together into one place, so you can figure out which store has the cheapest deals. They’ve also got a lovely app out on the App Store. However, I’ve yet to actually get to try it out on my iPad, since I’ve been having trouble getting it to search without crashing. However, do let us know in the comments how it works out of you guys!
