UK Retailer Currys Had A Metroid Dread Deal That Was Too Good To Be True
Update: It seems that adding the game to your basket now reveals the actual price being charged for the upcoming game, £49.99. Sad faces all round. It remains to be seen if the orders of the people who managed to snag it for just £26.99 will be honoured.
Original Story: If you’re in the UK and you’ve thus far managed to resist the siren call of a Metroid Dread pre-order ahead of its 8th October release date, you might want to check out this excellent deal from retailer Currys / PC World.
There are no fancy pre-order bonuses or statues or stickers included with this one, but you will apparently get a physical copy of the Metroid Dread for just £26.99.
Is this some sort of mistake or perhaps a calculated loss leader to get you flocking to the site? We couldn’t say [YES WE CAN — SEE THE UPDATE ABOVE — IT WAS LIES, ALL LIES!!], but it’s tough to argue with that price for a brand new first-party Nintendo game on launch day.
