You're using the internet to post on these forums, did you know you can also use it to buy things? NEAT STUFF!!!

some people with certain financial histories only have cash, and while you can buy 1 time visas from store, if any site tries to verify it through zip code, it could lock you out of your money(unless you call the card company first and wait.) other meat stuff: people like to walk into stores to buy things, not have a package sitting on your door step that 2 times out of 10 is going to get stolen. but I see your points. we were just going to buy it at any store yesterday at any price and it wasnt there -1 sale as he bought dues ex instead (but i guess they own that too)

The game cost me 249 NOK in a norwegian Gamestop, which is about 45$. To me, that is about 1,5 hours at work, and I didnt mind paying that since most games here in norway costs almost double that if not more. Most ive seen a normal edition game sell for is 799NOK, 145$.

I bought the game for £3 from Amazon the other day. ¬_¬ Although that was the UK site so it doesn't help you much.

I really think SE are missing a trick here by not providing the download and registration codes online. Considering they're already losing money from not having subscription fees, you'd think they'd do what they can to make a little money from the game.

Sort it out, Square Enix! You have people who want to buy your game here!

EDIT:

Aye, theres a reason that you can't digital download FFXIV off SE atm.

They dont want new players coming into a game they most likely won't stick with.

Okay, that makes sense.

Just to give a run-down on prices from what I've seen in stores lately, I've seen the standard edition for $40 at Wal-Mart and Hastings, $30 at Best Buy, and the collector's edition for $40 at Gamestop. So if there's a Best Buy near your friend, you might have him try there.

Personally I would go with the collectors edition at gamestop because if you are a collector of Final Fantasy games then even though it is an MMO it is a box you will want on your shelf.

I dont get the issue...

1. Give him your CD and let him install it
2. Ask online for a Buddy key
3. Play?

............

SE have zero intention right now to pull in new people or try sell copies, they are planning a relaunch which will then just be your average game sale.

I bought this game a couple of months ago at Gamestop for $15. It was the last copy they had. I have seen 1 or 2 copies elsewhere but they were full price. Fast forward. My friend wants to buy the game since playing a character on mine.
We went to Walmart, 2 Gamestops, and a local gamestore.
I live in the 4th largest city in the US, and this game could not be found.
Check steam - not there..
He refuses to pay full price plus S/H, so..

How are we suppose to get new players when theres so few copies in the wild?

Apperently you 2 are not very good friends or you would have given him a buddy pass
