Daily Deal - Funny Numbers?

Griking · 02-20-2012, 09:06 PM

Just Cause 2 - $14.99 on sale for $5.09 - 66% off
Just Cause 2 Strategy Guide - $9.99 on sale for $3.39

Now if you add the two together you get

Original price $24.98 on sale for $8.48

Yet there's a package for sale advertising 66% off with the following numbers;

Original price $29.98 on sale for $10.19

So what am I missing here?

What?

MADDOGGE · 02-20-2012, 09:19 PM

You know it's not always a conspiracy. Sometimes it's just what it looks like, a sale. Great game, good sale. Well worth the price.

FelixZay · 02-20-2012, 09:42 PM

the base prices don't add up either

it happens...they'll either fix it or they won't, only $2 anyway

Buy them seperate then, some of us are not always as lucky.

It looks like the game was recently reduced in price from $19.99 to $14.99, but their bundle hasn't been updated to reflect the new price.

There's no point buying the guide anyway.

The guide is worthless and it's embarrassing that you even thought about using a guide in the first place.

All guide are worthless imo when you have sites like gamefaq for when youre really stuck. In a game like Just Cause 2 its impossible to not know what to do next :P

That's the point though, the sale bundle costs more than if you bought the two of them separately.

I wasn't planning to purchase the guide. I just saw the bundle and noticed that the numbers didn't add up.

Whats wrong with those prices? $6.79 USD converts to £4.29 which is actualy 50p less than it's listed for over here in the UK?

Pozigalec · 02-21-2012, 03:30 AM

Well here we have $=€ so the price is 6.79€. So @LukeFree, stop complaining.

MW3 = $99

How much does MW3 cost in your country Pozigalec?

I'm going to save everyone a lot of money by not having to buy the Brady Guide. Are you ready? Blow everything up. That advice will get you through the whole game.
