Why is WIC so expensive?

Post by Ubiquitous »

Just a quick question - why is WIC £5-10 more expensive than every other new PC game? It's going for £35 in Tesco, and seems to be a similar price with online retailers as well. I wouldn't mind buying it, but I am having trouble justifying paying such a high price for a game.

Maybe because of the History channel DVD?

Yeah, are you sure it's not the collector's edition you're looking at?

Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. Here in the US, I'm pretty sure the normal edition goes for $50 (normal for a AA title) and the collector's for $60.
