Goodwill store. Two Wii versions of the game were on sale for just $74.99 (down from $119.99 MSRP) -- a Goodwill employee said the game's presence could be explained by donations from local retailers, listing Kohls, Sears, Borders, and Target as potential donators. Alright, alright, we'll admit it -- the price drop isn't <em>that</em> steep, but a near $50 difference on a barely four-month-old game sounds pretty decent to us.<br />
<br />
Presumably, one of the aforementioned retailers was more interested in the shelf space (and the tax write-off) than waiting for the game's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/10/npd-only-114k-took-a-tony-hawk-ride-in-november/">fairly cool sales</a> to heat up. Either way, if you're looking to get your ... ahem ... <em>feet</em> on the game, maybe your local Goodwill could offer a better deal than the other brick-and-mortars, eh?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/09/discounted-brand-new-tony-hawk-ride-at-goodwill/">Discounted: Brand new Tony Hawk Ride at ...
