Overpriced Games (3 Viewers)

[Gibbatron]

Who else thinks that new games are overpriced in Australia. What we pay $100 for over here, can be bought for the equivalent of ~$70AUD overseas.

While I love my new games, being an unpaid student means the price of said games is sadly a significant stumbling block, and with parents that are wary of the internet i can't even get them online (without resorting to downloading them for free)

Fable 2... $110.00 when it first came out.. But then again most games are at that price.. (bought from EB games)

only complain about a one off payment for a game.
what about world of warcrafts.

CD keys dont help you to get the game in the first place...

the cdkey is essentially the only thing you're paying for with most pc games seen they are readily available elsewhere

i gave up playing games when i was like 17

i can buy 1000 rounds of ammo for the same price as one of these games

 

[Silent_Sniper]

WOW isn't that much but i guess in the long run it is a bit...

I gave up playing games for the same reason as staticiscool. For the price of one game I can do 1000km's on a motorcycle.

Until I bought a nintendo DS and R4.

I have a shitload of ps2 games that even 2 years ago i could play all day now they just seem silly and childish tbh

Yeah, it's sad how the toys of youth lose their joy. I bought a wii + mario galaxy and sold it a month later at a $50 loss. That would have blown my mind when I was 13, but I can't handle it now.

The toys just get bigger, noisier and more expensive.

Im into buying shit old cars with a few months rego for <$250 and driving them until the break for now. Picking up a VL commie with no rego for $150 this weekend and planning on driving it around a friends farm for several weekends in a row until we completely destroy it. Im sure there are video games that emulate that exactly

Edit: advantages of living in the country and shit

It baits you then it will ruin you in the long run.

the cdkey is essentially the only thing you're paying for with most pc games seen they are readily available elsewhere

Until VALVe no longer uses CD Key registration for their software with repeated attempts to use key generators to get numerous games registered on Steam Accounts.

PS2's are mad

Can't have a PS2 without Metal Gear Solid 3.

[Silent_Sniper]

I dont know..Sega did a big ass flop on the Mega CD32X system at the cost of having to buy 3 different system to get "4" decent games to work at the cost of 1000 all up.
