If it will how much do you think it will go down by? I know when FONV came out for ps3. 2 months later I saw it for 29 dollars.

I just got £28 for it trading it in against the 360 version yesterday evening.

I doubt these issues will affect it unless it reaches national newstand press levels (when its truly in the public consciousness) which is very unlikely. You'll probably find most employees in game shops won't even be aware that the game is out as they tend to be more clueless than your average pensioner about videogames ;).

I'd imagine for a good few months you'll get a very good return for a trade-in on such a new high profile game.

Bethesda made sure that this will not happen by overhyping the game to epic proportions. Don't worry the name "Skyrim" sells!

That's funny, cause a new PS3 Skyrim is $40 at my Gamestop. I asked them why and they said they had almost 20 copies traded in the past few days.

You are lucky (or unlucky?) then guys. In my country it takes ages for a game to lose value.

Yeah it definitely depends on whether the present issues are resolved or not. If they don't fix the framerate stuff then yeah I would definitely expect to see the value drop a bunch in a pretty big hurry. If they do get it fixed I'd expect to see the new games stay sitting right at $60 and the pre-owned ones at $55 for a long time.

A fence? That actually makes a lot more sense! Most people can't sit on a fence, let alone an anthropomorphic giant egg!
