Beats

 

Actually - clothes (like designer), petrol. 

Edit: Samsung phones. Oh and Apple.

3rd time edit: Vans, they rip and they rip your money. And some dumb ass stores, wich are considered cool and just sell everything for +50% price

$60 day-1 games on steam with a $25 Season Pass.

 

Seriously, $40 launches or less pls. And get rid of the Season Pass shit.

 

if the game costs $60, There had better be 60 hours of campaign and story in it. $25 Season Pass means I had better be getting at least 25 hours of extra stuff to do in that DLC.

Git Gud.

We've seen multiple threads on what is considered a rip-off, or what is overpriced. And the top choices always seem to be Alienware, Beats and Apple.

 

Anyway, i consider each EA triple-A title a rip-off. It's just stupid how much they charge for a game and the dlc's. Sims 3 was just ridiculous, over €300 worth of overpriced dlc's. And Sims 4 is doomed to be worse. Other companies are also trying this trend sadly.
