Posted June 15, 2013 we already pay 80-100$ for games in sweden. i dont see a problem Haha I was just about to post this. Worst case scenario we might end up having to pay 1000 SEK (~150 USD) for a game. I doubt that they will go up in price though. The prices on Amazing has gone down and from what I've seen, prices on games has slowly been going down ever since the NES. I still got a few NES games with the pricetag "499 SEK" on them, which is pretty much the same as AAA titles for the Xbox 360 costs these days. If you take inflation into consideration, games has gone down quite a bit in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the average income in Portugal, but I do now the unemployment rate: 17,8%. And guess what? Games cost $90 here. Lovely. :) Edit: Net average wage: Sweeden - $2726 ; Portugal - $1164. Less than half... we get shafted pretty badly... we always do. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 15, 2013 They will always put pre-order prices higher. You dont want to tell consumers "Actually you owe me more money". You want to say "Guess what!, I can give you back some of your money" Anyone whis ever worked in retail knows you dont want to piss off a customer. Its just a pain in the ass.

Posted June 16, 2013 They're just placeholders, guys. There were dozens of threads complaining about the preorder prices of the consoles themselves after the initial PS4 announcement, and it didn't end up being $700 like some people were freaking out about. A lot of the games have changed prices to the normal range since E3.

Posted June 16, 2013 Oh, I must have misread that. Sorry. But as far as the digital version being more expensive, it would likely be because they want to get rid of CDs. It's also slightly easier to pirate off of a digital copy, since you can put protection against copying into the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
