The fact is, in addition to pre-orders, Homefront got 350,000 sales in the first day thus overwhelming servers plus the was no beta to test the servers and any other issues. This generated negative reviews, Wall Street panicked and Wal-Mart dropped the on-line price by 1/3 and Amazon matched them. There are a lot of people who sold it back to stores and now realize they should have just waited for THQ to iron out the issues. You can still get it for pretty cheap though Amazon, their price is 57.99 but beneath that it says 15 new from $45.99. Wal-Mart is $55.96 quite a jump from $41.96. I'm just glad I got in on the deal. I ordered it on Thursday and it

Homefront Is Back On It's Feet - Servers Added, Patch Added. THQ Stock UP and Prices Up
It's rumoured that THQ was angry at Wal-Mart and Amazon for dropping the price of Homefront so drastically because they felt it reflected poorly on the game. (I would be angry too too.) Allegedly, Wal-Mart intended to continue the sale until they were contacted by THQ. In fact, it wasn't even being called a sale. They just dropped the online price and Amazon matched it. Maybe it was a publicity stunt, if so, it worked as you can tell by THQ's stock HERE it began to rise almost as soon as the priced dropped. THQ had already double their servers and had almost finished with a patch that fixed many problems.
The fact is, in addition to pre-orders, Homefront got 350,000 sales in the first day thus overwhelming servers plus the was no beta to test the servers and any other issues. This generated negative reviews, Wall Street panicked and Wal-Mart dropped the on-line price by 1/3 and Amazon matched them. There are a lot of people who sold it back to stores and now realize they should have just waited for THQ to iron out the issues.

I ordered it on Thursday and itis to arrive Monday. arrived today!!!!!
