Some of you in the US might have seen the price Gamestop is currently offering on their US store page for the upcoming Saint's Row standalone game: Gat Out of Hell. It's been up for over a day and seems too good to be true... and it most probably is according to a tweet from someone in Deep Silver's marketing and PR.
Currently the game is being offered for a staggering $4.99 instead of the RRP of $19.99, and obviously a lot of people have taken them up on this deal. After all, most other retailers have stuck to the RRP and we all know that we love a bargain, given the populariry of indie game bundles and the Steam Sales. However, Will Powers (Deep Silver PR & Marketing) has warned that the orders won't be honoured.
@Aiervon @killyourfm @GameStop @deepsilver @Chupacaubrey this is not real. Orders won't be honored, sorry.

The deal news had spread like wildfire across the Internet obviously, but although the price remains the same on the Gamestop page Deep Silver have dismissed the offer as fantasy.
Take advantage of the deal if you feel it's worth a punt, just don't be surprised if when the game releases you might be required to cough up an extra $15 to get your game.
