  1. Did anybody know about this sale? Saw IC tweet a link yesterday, and just one other person was at the doors of my local branch this morning for the sale.

    Picked up Dishonored for R149.95, thanks IC

      Most can’t believe Incredible Corruption are actually having a sale I suppose…

        They’ve had similar sales in the past, and then on the day, you’d get to the store only to discover they have no stock (or the staff hoarded specific titles for themselves or their friends). I reckon people are just sceptical. I might go this evening, to pick up Dishonoured and Darksiders 2.

          I hate it when staff do that, hoarding shit for them or their friends.

            I have no problem with a staff member using his staff discount and scoring on a sale like this, but when they hoard for friends and family… that’s just not cricket.

          Damnit, I should have listened to Yesterday-Jim. Instead, I ventured off… and discovered that the sale (at least at Canal Walk) is a ruse.

          I could go to Bayside today (instead of annoying Geoff on Skype), but to be honest I couldn’t give a damn now. I’ll just wait for the games to go platinum or pick them up next year on Kalahari’s Big mama sale.

        Oh yes, I agree. I think it’s better than God of War Ascension, except graphics wise of course. Hell, I enjoyed this game far more than Ascension. Found Ascension a bit meh.

    If they just sold games at these prices initially, there would be no need to pirate them…

          I’ve always wondered about that, whether the current game price was decided on by those fancy supply and demand price curves, and whether a significant drop in price will actually leave companies belly-up – or actually more profitable?

          Activision has clearly settled on the “greater demand means greater price point” principle, which is why COD games (console) sell for ~ R800 in South Africa (with equivalent prices in other territories), whereas everyone else go for ~R400 (except for the triple A big names, which go for just under R600). Gamers will pay a premium for titles that they consider to be “worth it”, but I wonder how sustainable that is? A high priced game means a gamer is less likely to pick up additional titles during the month, so those would be lost sales.

          I really wish someone with their finger on the pulse of gaming economics could research this and do a write-up for LG.

          No not you Pachter… GTFO!

            Yeah, I agree. I’d like to know. I was a bit taken aback with the price of Tomb Raider and God of War ascension.

          • Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)

            March 27, 2013 at 12:39

            Yeah, I was going to get Tomb Raider, God of War and Bioshock this month, but damn… not a chance now. Each game is sitting in the almost R600 range (as opposed to the “normal” R400). With my cats heading to the vet next month, those games will have to wait for marked-down sales on Kalahari, Takealot or Incredible Corruption.

            Fortunately,,, as an old codger, I have all the patience in the world!

            Backing up your statement is how can Makro sell games like Crysis 3 and GoW: A for R399.

          • Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)

            March 27, 2013 at 13:03

            Makro consistently has some great deals on games, especially new releases, and I honestly don’t know how they do it. Maybe they buy in bulk from overseas and side-step our local suppliers? Or maybe it’s the Wallmart effect – they buy at such a great volume (from the local suppliers) that they get the games dirt cheap…?

            I’ll check this weekend at our local Makro and Game to see what their prices are for God of War and Tomb Raider.

    Crap, my closest IC is in Welkom. I don’t think they’ve even heard of these games yet. Could have done with a bit of Dishonored and Darksiders, heck even Syndicate at R99

      lol, IC in the foreshore used to be like that. You’d walk in there, with the hopes of checking out some of the new releases and you’d find stuff (still on the shelves) from 5 years before. Apparently, the new store near Long or Loop is better, but I don’t have the energy to go all the way into town just to get trolled.

    Like the gullible fool that I am, I went to Canal Walk last night, only to discover that there was no sale. The staff didn’t even know about the “big sale”

    Typical Incredible Corruption! Thanks for nothing.

    I sent my brother to buy the killzone trilogy at Incredible Connection I think it was Canal Walk. I live in riversdale, the nearest shop is +-140 km away and he lives in cape town. When he arrived here today I checked the cases and all three are empty. Thanks for a great special!

      Yeah, typical Incredible Corruption.

      I also went to Canal Walk (on what was supposed to be day one of the sale). and the first thing I did, was to ask the staff if there were still games left, and they looked at me with that vacant expression that generally says “you just got trolled by Incredible Corruption”. The missus and I checked in the back of the store where they keep all the games, and it was clear, Corruption was up to its old tricks again.

      So, we went to Joe’s Diner. Got a burger, and then we got Skyfall from Musica. Felt like a dumbass, because I knew they were going to pull this again.
