Another price drop for Zack & Wiki?

Likely sensing our discontent over the lack of pearl necklaces included with US copies of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, GameStop is now offering the adventure game for only $19.99!Just three months ago, Capcom marked down Zack & Wiki to $29.99 from its original $39.99 pricing. Could this be another universal price drop, soon to kick into effect at other retailers?
Though GameStop has discounted copies available online, you can save on shipping by picking one up at a brick and mortar location nearby. Make sure to ask the clerk if the shop will throw in a pearl necklace with the deal.

Ouch, what does this mean for Capcom?
Another original idea that sells horribly...

Oh shit, I'll just wait for this to be free then. Sounds like that will be happening in no time.

You may or may not agree with this article (that mentions Z&W):

I so wish I could buy it... Sadly we have no game shops here, and anyway, I need to buy Okami and MKWii. So this will have to wait till later :(...

Gah! You people need to open your copies and play it already! The rest of you should take up this opportunity and pick it up for $20. It's a great puzzler and a lot more challenging than it's appearance gives off (a good thing, btw, if you like puzzle games). I'm hoping this price drop doesn't mean bad signs for a new IP. I'd love to see a sequel for this!

My dear sir, I have opened my copy!
I looked at the pretty manual and read it, just haven't played it.;)
Allow me to go on record here; MY Wii is currently hooked up to the family TV and as soon as I move the Wii to my room, everyone will want to play Wii Bowling.
So my access time to my Wii is limited and I have aquired a stack of Wii titles that I need to invest into. :(

This is like salt on the wound. I bought it for 40$ day 1. What a great game, Wii owners are stupid not to support this kind of a game.

$20 USD? That is an unbelievable bargain! It's one of the best games for the Wii, and has a very wide appeal - and while not strictly a kids' game is something I've played with the whole family. (Here in NZ it's an extortionate $109 NZD - the standard Wii game price - which works out to about $87 USD. Shocking, eh?)

I called up Gamestop yesterday to see if they had a copy and they did, so I went to go get it... but they frickin closed in the 5 minute window of calling and driving to the store... and the bass turd on the phone didn't mention they were closing when we were on the phone!! Worked out good though I guess, saved me some dough :)

Fantastic game which will have you scratching your head - or beating it against a wall - for 15 to 20 hours. Loved it.

Hurrah! It's reached the magic price point! I regret not purchasing this game when it was first released, but too many great games have been released. I shall now purchase this game when I get out of work.
