I was just looking stuff up on google, when I ran into this:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000CGAFF/249-55856 10-1734731

Anyone who can read it is welcome to explain.

Please leave comments.

Its a popular game. After any given amount of time, most games go Platinum and sell cheaper ($20 I think). Its nothing big really. Just an aging game. Amazing game, but aging....

Usually when an Xbox game sells a -blam!-load of units, it becomes a $20 Platinum Hit. The first games of most series end up Platinum after awhile...

I think he's more confused as to why a game that was still selling so well for $30 would have it's price slashed. A while after Halo 2 came out, Halo was still ranked 3rd in sales. I'm not talking total since it came out, I'm talking on a week by week. Hell, I just looked about three weeks ago and it was still sixth. That was before the price drop.

Maybe they are ashamed that Halo 2 has ALREADY dropped to $40. Hell, I've seen em selling on Ebay for only $20. Maybe now that the update is out and it feels more like Halo CE it will keep a lot of "us" around.
