A lot of times the store prices are higher than the ones on the internet. There's a disclaimer on most stores' web pages saying that, too. It's a big thing of supply and demand. More people shop in-store than online because of fear of not getting the item correctly and such.

because things sell faster and easily online..hence can be cheaper than in a store....think of the no. of prople visiting a store and a website....which is eashier...also more n more people shopping online which is better than the manual labour involved getting things at the store n cutting the long ques.
p.s: what is a nba 2k8 anywais :)

most of the time it is second hand or used. If not, contact BB to see if they could give you the asking price, but before you do, make sure you know the two games are identical.

when you purchase something from a retailer's building you are also paying for a small portion of their overhead. electricity, insurance, salaries, etc. they must mark up merchandise by so much in order to make a profit on the sale. by purchasing something online you are avoiding most of the overhead markup . hope you choose online shopping for all your future purchases!

I suppose they have an extra charge for delivering it from the warehouse to the store
