Nothing's absolute, but generally we only lower prices to clear out slow selling items. For one thing, as the official store, we can't be aggressive and undercut other sellers by going below the set retail prices. But if someone else is lower, it's probably due to some circumstances we can't really match anyway (maybe they're Amazon or Gamestop and they're operating at a level of scale that we can't touch without losing money on every sale, or maybe they're a tiny store that only has a few to sell and are just trying to make a splash, etc). That said, we certainly always try to be reasonable, so if we're the _only_ ones selling something at a higher price or something, we'll do our best to work it out.
It seems a little twisted, but the deals that we make to be the "Official" stores usually mean we're paying more to the game companies than competitors do, so we often have less wiggle room on price on the non-exclusive items....
