Yesterday I was browsing through my local rrp priced computer store, when I stumbled across something that really wasn't right.
There on the "new" shelf, just next to the "used" shelf were two games. WWF: Just Bring it and WWE: Just bring it. Ok. Nothing unusual about that you may ask. But here was the problem. Both of the games indentical in every way, except it says WWE and World Wrestling Enterprises, instead of WWF. But there was one main difference. The Price.

The WWF version was priced at £19.99

And... get this...

The WWE version was priced at £39.99

A £20 difference. Do they tae us for mugs? Exactly the same games with far from the same price tag. They change there initials, so they bang up the price by £20! IT AINT RIGHT! I also cross referenced the prices with other shops, virtually the same outcome. Except WHSmiths who charged £44.99 for both, lol.

Gis ur views and tell me if you have come across the same thing. Cos the WWE has lost my respect for the quality and honesty of its games.

Firstly, WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment, not Enterprises :o)

The only reason WWF SmackDown is going cheaper is because it isn't WWF anymore, so they prefer to get rid of the old titles to make way for the new, otherwise they would look like they don't keep up with whats going on.

Simple solution, get the cheaper one :o)

WWF SmackDown 3: Just Bring It is cheaper because it's an older version of the game.

WWE SmackDown 3: Just Bring It is a newer version, and it gets the price of any new game.

FINE! So I got it confuzzled, lol.

Yeah but the change of a letter dont exactly constitute a £20 rise does it?

Its the same game!!!

If they were trying to get rid of em all? why not sell em at £4.99?
