Oh hoh hoh, if that was a joke about the English fuckuppery of the banking system and our downfall into a recession... screw you, bro! If not, this was not nearly as smart enough as to my liking. Hah! Worm your way out of THAT one!
And yet, our money is still worth more than theirs.

Err Shamus... Do I really need to point out that £ > $, thereby making the joke nonsensical?

Okay, it implies that the reader has a girlfriend, which omits married dudes, straight women, half of the guys in prison, and all priests.
It also omits gamers. Ba-dum tssshhhhh!

P.S. Thanks

I maintain that the ad suggests that the proposed girlfriend is "cheap" per default, and the wonder if the pricing on this game is that it is somehow even "cheaper" than that.
So excuse me while I still think it's a travesty of a campaign.

My girlfriend is cheaper than £30. She costs nothing because she's imaginary. I wonder if I can get games for free using that logic.

And gay dudes.

Yay! He's back!

Just to point out though, even though both of our economies our down the gutter, British Pounds are still worth more than US Dollars. A $60-$70 game costs £40-£50 here. And a new PC game costs £30.

Of course, it implies that Pounds Sterling was a crap currency. It isn't: Euros are.

YES! Stolen Pixels is back!

Unless this is just some clever April Fools joke... I know your train of thought...
Please. It's not like he has a one track mind.

OT: Sure beats my $1.99 a minute joke I made when I saw the article on the Escapist.
Oh god. I thought I'd seen the light at the end of the tunnel and escaped the puns. Turns out it was a train.

You two are close to getting express tickets to a kick in the caboose.
