Yea bro $130 (i think) for the hardened edidtion at EB games, im still gunna pay it but im not going to be happy about it -_-Milky_Fresh said:
Newer releases costs about 80 to 90 bucks, with importing and whatnot, so it's hard to afford many new releases, I got mostly bundles.
its price tag is the only reason im hesitant to buy it. Damn near got burned on Cod6 if i didnt buy the console version of it.
This one i was considering the PC version...but Sorry activision you don't have an excuse for making it $60 on PC all of a sudden.

Well, I'm paying a hundred dollars Australian for it, but that's just because I'm an idiot and was suckered into pre-ordering it by some shiny cans of energy drink. Doh well.
I console myself with the fact that I'm paying a good 20% less than what the poor, poor consolescrubs are paying.

Steam?DTWolfwood said:
On the topic of steam, its £40 on there atm, and it can be pre loaded, ready to play at midnight
OT: I Think its way too overpriced, especially for whats on the disc. The campaign will probably be fairly short-medium in length, and about 10 maps doesent take up much space.
I think we should find a way to either RRP games based on amount of content actually on the disc, or how well it gets reviewd. But the latter would proabbly make black ops more expenisve
Im quite confused on black ops. I want to get it for the campaign and to see if they have managed to improved the multiplayer, as well as try out dem wager battle things, but I doubt Ill play it for that long
honestly, any game costing more than 40$ is a rip off, especially mmo's. mmo's should be brand new, right off the shelves at 20$+atleast the 1 month free gametime. but thats just my opinion, and i'd go on ranting and ranting, but i'm not done my reaserch into the economy, and i dont have enough info on how much games could cost right out the door, and still make a profit. so far, it's looking to be alot less than 50-60$ especially since lower price=more people it's available to earlier, and more people looking for lower prices would be interested.
possibly less profit out the door, but greater possibility of more, ALOT more, but anywas....another day.

I don't even bother to buy games as soon as they're released anymore. They're just too damn expensive. I boycott this by going to a game reseller 
.
It would be nice though if developers started selling their own games or putting them up for donation prices - they'd make more.

Playstation games were dirt cheap in comparison thanks to sony adopting CDs over cartridges. I also just did a quick search and, according to wikipedia (>.<), N64 games, at launch, were released at £55.bahumat42 said:
There was also an news article on the Escapist that showed, taking into account inflation rates, games are actually cheaper than they used to be.

going by currency exchange rates, $90 australian = £55Zhukov said:
so he's paying the same price as you.
Thats too high for me. I really cant afford brand new games these days anyway- so I usually find myself waiting for the prices to go down on a game before I buy. The only exception I made for this was when I bought Mass Effect 2 the day after it came out. I had just finished Mass Effect and needed more!
But if there was ever a game for $80, even if I did get it ahead of time or something, still too much- since when it comes down to it, I can always wait.

My regular copy of Black Ops will cost me $65, plus shipping. You paying $80 for the regular edition sucks. :/
