Tell 'em They're Dreamin' is a weekly feature designed for all those moments when you've wondered and had to ask yourself if a store was dreaming when they priced a particular item or bundle. It is an opportunity to tell the world about the bad deals and ridiculous prices you've seen and have some laughs over them. Drop by the forum discussion to participate and link to any photos if you have them.

Does anyone remember some terrible deals from the Christmas sales?

WOW.  Talk about bad deals..... did it actually scan at $99 as well?  Sometimes they don't bother putting new stickers on even if price has been lowered.  

It'd be so nasty if some1, who has no idea of the "more sensible" price for AC1, buys it @ $99, then trades it in at eB and find its only worth what, $10?  They'd throw such a massive WTF fit.

Yep sure did scan as $99. Went to GameTraders and they happily sold me a brand new copy for $25:)

Yeah I must say, despite it coming out years ago I still haven't picked up MGS4 because it's till pricey for some reason. A bit like how the only good games on the Wii are perpetually $99 despite being at least 3 years old.
