The site above is offering the game at a huge discount. How is that possible?!

Presumably they're selling at a slim margin. I know most retailers (in all industries) will get bulk deals for buying large quantities of an item. Most companies will sell at the suggested retail value, but wholesalers will accept a lower profit margin in hopes of having a greater number of sales due to offering lower prices consistently, etc.


See the way my body's glowing? Yeah, a lot of people can't do that.

Also if they are an internet company and do not have a storefront they can keep their overhead down and offer products at lower prices than brick and mortar stores.because they don't have to pay for various sundries that comes with having a storefront.
