C&C fans - C&C 3: Kane's Wrath $10 @ Circuit City

RaMMaR · 03-18-08, 09:56 AM

Circuit City has Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath (PC) expansion pack for $10. It's going for ~$30 at other retailers. Release date is 03/25/08.

Update: it turns out it is a presell disc...

I wonder if that's just the "pre-release" version - BB does the same thing - you pay $10 before it's released to guarantee yourself a copy on release date.

I'm pretty sure this is like what rassi said, it's a pre-order price. You'll pay the rest of the balance when you go pick it up.

i hope not - the page (and order confirmation) didn't say anything about it being a pre-order/reserve price.
It is odd that the site let me order it last night, but now instead of an "add to cart" button there's a "coming soon" in its place....

Like the OP said, there is nothing anywhere on the page about it being a pre-order price at all.

This is what a pre-order page looks like:

You can't add it to your cart, but you can select it for in store pickup, and all the stores local to me have it?

This is odd. I don't really want to take a chance, in case it is some kind of bizarre mistake on their part.
