Hi Charles, I think there are times when people will pay more for something before it is released. This is if they can get hold of it first, like a private showing of an art gallery show or a sneak preview of a movie. So if the game was available for download and play by a special download link or by receiving the cd ahead of the public release, some people may be willing to pay more for it. smiles, Phil
