Yesterday I went in Media Play to browse all the games, and I couldn't believe what I saw. There on a rack, (you know the kind that holds CD's and turns around), was AoE/RoR. And selling for $9.98.
No box. No book. Just a little CD case. And they had just gotten the shipment in.
Why would Microsoft sell the best of all games in this cheap way? On an aisle across from this rack they had AoK in a box selling for $49.
So it looks like Microsoft is not expecting AoE/RoR to hold its own. And I guess they are not printing the manual anymore. What a shame.
The only good thing I can see is that it is dirt cheap now and may attract some new players. But they will not have the joy of holding the manual in their hands or reading it in bed.
Have any of you seen it selling like this where you live?
