I remember just about every retailer has Batman AA for $45 last year. I really should get around to playing it. Be interesting to see if WFC will get the same treatment or if Walmarts bonus is that you get the game for $40.

Arkham is going for $49.99 regular price at most retailers now. What does this mean for WFC?

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I contacted Gamestop.ca about price mathcing:

Hi,
Wal-Mart is having a one day sale on Transformers War for Cybertron for the PS3 and will sell it for $39.83. Is it possible for me to pre-order the game in store and get the same price?

Response:
Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting GameStop.ca.

We sincerely apologize however, GameStop does not price match.

For new items the price that we set will be determined by the manufacturers suggested retail price for a particular product. We keep our prices competitive in the selling of used games and being able to apply the Edge card for an additional discount. We also allow you to trade in any older games that you have towards your purchase which will often give you a greater savings and clear out some space on your shelf for your new game.

When you enter a GameStop you are entering a business owned by, run by, and supported by gamers. We think you will find our staff more knowledgeable about gaming products and new games than our competitors.

Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you.

Best Regards,
Hilary
Customer Service Agent

The Mighty Galvatron Translation:

"Make no mistake, we are retarded. We will take your used games and rip you off like you've never been before. We will then turn around and sell those games for an insanely higher price than we originally bought them from you for. Have a nice day."

if have a pre-order at eb just get it for the shockwave character. and buy also at walmart and then return the ebgames one for money back and you have the character still.

WFC is (cant think of the name atm) one of the games that you have a week and if you dont like it return it for a full refund.

you get the char and no one gets hurt cause in a month they will go and sell it used for $5 cheaper to someone else.

win = win

or if its just store credit use it for another game or future one.
