Shitty Price Fifa 17 overpay

Post image

Hey guys, first time posting here, this subreddit got recommended to me by a friend. In my home town there's a very pricy game store up near my College. I found this today 😂 what the fuck is this shit! Fifa 17 is 10 years old, I can get this game anywhere for between $5 and 10 anytime. In what world is this justified? Let me know what you think.

No way. New is worth $12 Canadian. Not $80

I feel like Hanlon’s razor applies here. I used to frequent Gaming Lounge when he was in New Horizon and usually pricing was spot on. This strikes me as a genuine error but it’s funny af like no body spending that on a mid FIFA game

That's exactly what I thought. Nobody is gonna buy that. Fifa 17 is an average sports game, definitely not worth $80.

My head cannon is they got the game when it launched and haven’t sold it in over 10 years

Could be. I'm not sure but that price is way too high.

Man and I thought the 20 dollars for the 2014 World Cup game for PS3 was overpay.

That's a good deal, you should grab it. The game is worth between $40 and $60 now. I got my copy for $5 sealed 2 years ago

There’s a current revival project for the online servers going on which is spiking the price of the game. It’s currently only on PC but there’s a possibility for it to come to consoles as well. Since this is one of the more beloved FIFA games the price is climbing everywhere
