Champions Online is one of Amazon's "Deals of the Day" today! For one day only, Champions is being sold on Amazon for $20 off the MSRP price of $49.99. If you've been on the fence about picking up your copy, now's definitely a good time to grab it, so why are you still reading this? Go!

...and I just bought mine for full price elsewhere yesterday.

Afk, crying.

Kinda scary when the Bargain bin pricing starts coming out less then a month after release. Getting desperate for subscribers already?

after that patch from yesterday i would say so...

Do you have any idea what deal of the day really means?

Gee I dont Know. A special Deal they have going for the day?????

Still With ALLL the Stuff they sell they put up a game that has only been out a few short weeks. It is a bad Sign. Nothing really to be "proud" of. Obviously the sales are a bit lacking compared to what they expected and therefore are trying to offload by providing a special deal. Amazon is doing this for a reason Prices get dropped usually because they have more of something than people want. Its called Supply and demand. Economics 101.

Retconning everytime I log in is getting old. It's one thing to respec and have them free, it's another to spend a TON of cash on the auction house reworking your equipment with the new stats and then have yet ANOTHER nerf hit, and your new equipment is worthless. Time to go spend another TON of cash on equipment I won't be able to use after the next patch.:(

It's a shame, this is exactly what we wanted to avoid.

Yesterday nothing. Try all of the patches as of release day 1 esp including day 1 patches.

Ordinarily this is true, however, you are following the wrong model. This game as it is an MMO is bet served by printer and/or razor models.

You buy the main item. It does not change. But you have to keep buying the ink, the new razor heads, the monthly subscription. THAT is where the money is made, not by the cost of the initial purchase.

The more games they sell, the more monthly they have a chance at keeping. It honestly is not a bad idea. Esp as it is a singular day only, and not a week long sale.

lol @ people who don't know about Amazon

This is normal for the company. They're quite infamous for charging well below MSRP for items, in order to undercut the competition. Amazon makes a huge profit from the volume of sales, and hurts their competitors by lowering the number of units the non-Amazonians can sell.

It's a very shady, devious, and somewhat unethical (in terms of fair business) tactic Amazon pulls all the time. More money for them and killing the opposition in one swift blow. It's something only large companies with well developed infrastructures like Amazon, can do on a regular basis.

This is nothing new. It's just Amazon being Amazon. It's also a chapter from Business 101.
