Update: This is Fake News from IGN. Suicide Squad isnt discounted.

There's definitely still a benefit to buying physical games, especially when there are deals like this to be found only days before release on new AAA titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (or other new titles like Tekken 8). Suicide Squad is down to just £43.96 from trusted seller The Game Collection via eBay right now, which is over £26 off the RRP.

This is a tremendous discount, especially since the game isn't out until February 2. All you need to do is use code JANPAY20 to secure the deal, and we'll leave some handy links just below so you can find the game on your correct console nice and quickly.

My worst digital purchase was getting a good game at full price right before it went on sale. I thought maybe Steam would at least give me store credit for the difference since I bought it so close to the sale date, but no dice.

Tag, you're it.
That's stupîd reasoning. I can find S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 for less than 35e.

Same goes for Dragon's Dogma at less than 40e

And so on. I mean Suicide Squad is a meh game ( I played the beta), not terrible but definitely not what we want from Rocksteady. Still not a reason to blindly shit on it.

Okay this is a reach. There are vendors that do this all the time, with new games. The game specifically isn't discounted I'm sure "JANPAY20" works on many items.

QVC, a popular vendor Wario64 tweets all the time, basically has every single new release game with the same discount for "new accounts with coupon code." Recently got Mario RPG there, the week of release, for $30.

I'm not saying this game won't fall hard and fast, but this isn't the same as seeing the MSRP slashed.

Reporting on eBay prices is extreme disinfo and the speed at which people move to dunk shows how easily manipulated the zeitgeist can be.

For real I'm amazed. Draugoth Draugoth please do better... Not the first time you post some incorrect threads like this. You know most people can't read past the headline so it's up to you to correctly report on stuff like this.

Or don't do it at all.

If the thread is wrong, is because they conveyed false information. Please ask the mods to delete this if you feel best :)

IGN is capable of a sensationalist headline for clicks as much as anyone else, which is what this obviously is.

They also have a huge bone to pick with this game, given recent events. It's an insanely petty and unprofessional headline from them.

Yeah, IGN also threw a hissy fit for throwing out all this negativity about their preview experience and then whined that they didn't get a key, lmao.

I mean, if you don't like a preview that's standard, but surely it could've been done in a more tasteful and "professional" matter. I just think it's funny to drag it, but then still want something for free. I just wouldn't give them attention about the game, personally.

Then don't report this clickbait stuff? What's the point, getting clicks/likes on Gaff? I'm sure not so what? Dunking on a game for... nothing?
I just want to understand and I'm not gonna ask for a delete the same way I haven't put anybody in the ignore list. We are all adult I think and I'm pretty sure you know we can find most games for 25/50% off before release.

I think it's tiring to see people shitting on stuff without having any understanding of what they're commenting on.

This really sounds like something that will be on deep sale later this year and PS+ / GamePass in early 2025

Overall, this is sad. Lots of people put a lot of work into this. Prob had great ideas that went nowhere.

Even for IGN they are uncharacteristically going after this game because they're still pissed that nobody got press copies. They are going to run this into the ground and make bigger clowns of themselves out of pure unprofessional spite.
