Prince of Persia might be a new release, it might be hyped as a NODRM game, and going by the reactions from anti-DRM proponents it could be a great seller, but where is it? I see it online at Amazon, Toys”R”Us and other online retailers (such as NewEgg.com), but I couldn’t find it locally at Walmart, Target or Toys “R” Us over the weekend.
If you don’t see it in the retail stores, you’re really hurting sales. I saw Assassins’s Creed and Far Cry 2 though (two other Ubisoft titles), so I know Ubisoft sells through those stores.
Weird. It’s almost like they want this experiment to fail? I wouldn’t think so, but it does seem a little odd.
Edit: I also found it for $30 or less at CD Universe.
Edit #2: Perhaps the hold up is due to the game just being released last week? I’ll check those stores again late this week to see if they’ve arrived yet. In the meantime, I may go ahead and order through CD Universe; the Target option via Amazon.com seems to have disappeared.
Edit #3: Found it on Walmart.com and GoGamer.com for $30 or less.
