Valkyria Chronicles Gets a Price Drop

Gaming Front: "Having only been on store shelves for less than a week, Amazon have dropped the price of the PlayStation 3 exclusive from $59.99 to $49.99. A fantastic game at a fantastic price. I highly recommend anyone who was on the fence to pick this up as soon as possible."

Wow, you never seize to amaze us. Your comments aren't even funny, they're just... plain dumb and full of crap.
----------------------------- ----------

I watched some gameplay footage of this game on GT.com and I wasn't expecting the game to be this fun. With this new price I might consider buying it.

3.1 - That's not called
'wasting'. That's called having a great deal.

LBP> Resistance 2.

No no, Resistance 2 = LBP. Both are excellent games. Valkyria Chronicles is one of the best SRPG I've played. Definitely recommend it.

Valkyria Chronicles is great. I got it on the day it came out and I'm still not being disappointed. It's a tricky game but once you figure out the best strategy for each battle it becomes easily playable. I'd recommend it to any RPG fan looking for something different.

I hope this game is going to sell milions of copies. I love it, and I think it deserves a lot.

Sadly, with this economic status we ave in the US, I do not see that happening. It is a damned shame too, for it is an amazing 3rd party exclusive.

Wow, a price drop already!!!

Come on ppl, snatch it up already!!!!
im gonna get it for Christmas!!!

It plays wonderfully, from the demo, so I expect it could be a worthwhile exclusive. Support the exclusives I always say (unless they are horrible)

Amazon had a $10 preorder bonus gift card so you're basically breaking even unless you bought it in that gap between preordering and the recent price drop. Even so this game is worth the full price and more so for $50.

I'm so annoyed at Gamestop. The Gamestop I preordered at only had 4-5 preorders including mine. So they only got 2 artbook. I decided not to preorder at Amazon and get $10 off just for the artbook. =[

Anyway, the game is amazing and I think the story is pretty good. The coloring and graphic is very soothing.

yeah, I got it for $56.99 + $10 off a future game purchase so I still made out. Just sucks amazon.com doesn't price match anymore otherwise I could get it for $50 w/ that $10 off future purchase...

My brother picked this game up last week, and he's hooked on it.

I've been playing the demo myself and found this to be a nice change of pace compared to the half million FPS's that either came out or are coming out.

It plays well and requires a lot of strategy, especially later in the game. And the price drop just makes it an even better deal. This is probably Sega's best game they've come out with over the past few years.

I picked this up on day one and I have to say that even with this price drop I don't regret it at all. The game is absolutely beautiful and a masterpiece in my opinion. It will be sure to quickly become a classic in the vein of Final fantasy Tactics. As a matter of fact while playing the game the soundtrack reminds me quite a bit of FFT.

I hope this price drop isn't a sign that the game is doing poorly as that would be a shame and we may not see more creative stuff like this in the future. If you have a PS3 please take advantage of this price drop and give the game a purchase or at the very least rent it and see it you like it.

This game needs to sell millions of copies, not just because it's a great game but this game could be the start for Sega actually start making some money.It's still hard to believe Sega made this game.

This game wasn't even on my radar but after playing the demo it's a must buy.

I just may get this. I'm in desperate need of an RPG. Atleast one to hold me over for White Knight Chronicles and FFXIII.

Oh... 59.99 to 49.99... Why are games 60 dollars now instead of 10? I was hoping it'd be at least 40 dollars. ;_;

If you got it at Amazon, you might want to check with customer service to see if they'll refund the difference. They sometimes do that kind of stuff when prices drop within a certain number of days since your purchase.

What flop?

Amazon is the only place dropping that. No other retailers are doing it. Which tells you that $10 drop is promotional. That has nothing to do with bad sales. And considering where the game was placed even BEFORE the price reduction, the sales are fine

Use common sense next time

Keep focusing on sales while I play this amazing game on Tuesday.

Released at a horrible time. I have been following the game for a while, and still fully intend on picking it up... but my pile of games has already increased too much lately.

26 - You do realize ONLY amazon has that price drop right?
The game hasn't even bee out a week and you people are whining like the price drop is a bad sign. Amazon is the ONLY place doing it. So it has nothing to do with the game selling bad (which some of you seem to imply).

But oh well, logic is lost to MANY (not all) people on this site. Such is N4g

i can see why they dropped the price by $50. It came out the same week R2 came out. More people are going to pay attention to R2 to Valkyria Chronicles. This sweetens the deal.

I don't want to miss out and not be able to get a copy in the future. So i will pick this one up next, even though the only game I will be playing for a long time is going to be Fallout 3.
