You could just get one of those game vouchers for it. Would essentially mean you end up paying $50 for it (you're paying $100 for two vouchers) so long as there's some other game you feel like getting. Pikmin 4, perhaps? (It's also in the list of eligible games)

The vouchers stay on the account for 1 year from the purchase date, so just don't sit on them forever if you get any.

What was OoT, $60? I still remember going to BestBuy with my brother in his 1995 Camaro SS to pick it up.
$60 is 1998 has to be at least $120 in 2023

They added Pikmin 4 and Advance Wars to the list too.

Srsly if you were fine paying $60 ten years ago, you should be fine with $70 today. Didn't do the math but you're probably even getting a discount.

So many gamers love bootlicking. You can not have a problem with paying more, but don't go and act like the companies are being generous for not charging higher. They're not your friends and shit looks pathetic.

no, but its latest trailer didn't really wow me, so I might wait until its release and reviews/gamer impressions before I make any kinda decision.

because it's looking more like a BotW expansion, which isn't a bad thing, but it's not a first-day buy thing, either.

Who's bootlicking? Some of us are old enough to remember this being a price point 30 years ago. It dropped around the PSone era, but has gone back up to what it used to be.

Maybe my fault that Babbages was the only real option to buy games for me at time, but $70 was pretty common on the SNES. Final Fight, Super GnG, Street Fighter 2, LttP are just a few off the top of my head that I had to scrimp at $4.25/hr to afford.
