5 most overpriced product in your opinion?

IamNewie

I wouldn't say internet is that bad in London. My Virgin Media 100mbit package is like £30, although I might be bias as I only have to pay 1/4 of it.

 

If your going to say the iPhone is overpriced, then you have to say Samsung are too, when I got my S3 last summer the packages where the same price, and the same up front cost too.

 

Digital downloads are what annoy me the most.

Physical copy of Daft Punk's R.A.M is £10, digital £7.50

To those that are saying the 5ghz AMD FX CPU,. It's not a real consumer cpu. It's just AMD saying "We could do this cool thing, so we did." It's can-not-has. Can-not-has is expensive.

CPU-AMD FX 8350 @ 4.9Ghz | GPU-Sapphire 7970 OC | Motherboard-AsRock Extreme9 990fx | RAM-8GB Mushkin Blackline Ridgeback

Case-NZXT Switch 810 | Heatsink-NZXT HAVIK | SSD-Samsung 840 250GB | HDD-Seagate Barricuda 1TB; WD Green 2TB
PSU-Seasonic X-Series 850 Watt | Mouse-Razer Naga | Keyboard-Razer Blackwidow | Speakers-Logitech z623

I disagree, the build quality of the S3 is incredibly bad. I haven't seen one that isn't broken for a long time. Of course iPhones break as well but not to the same level as S3s. In fact I would even say that there is a design flaw to the point where recalls should have been though about.

actually plastic in samsung galaxy's phone absorbs better shock , but I should admit Iphone has better build quality but lack of features.

1- Corsair, their fans are Noctua prices and perform pretty average, their cases aren't that great quality wise and expensive compared to similar cases, Dominator Platinum and Vengance Pro is just absurdly overpriced. The list goes one.

2- Intel, They know they can get away with rip off prices because of their reputation

3- ANY Mechanical keyboard- Okay, I'm a MX Blue Fanatic and own several mech keyboards but $100 for anything over down here in Australia is ridiculous!

4- Hard Drives- The tsunami happened years ago, I don't get how you can keep the prices as high as they were in retaliation to a disaster that's finished and all but done with

5- Apple- Because duh

 

I would also like to add that Razer does not deserve the shit it gets. Particularly in this thread, they have some awesome products at pretty decent prices. Blind fanboy hate is just kinda stupid, I've had the same Razer Mamba for years now and it's the best mouse I've used in my life, period. I'ld still be using it now if it were white. No racism intended :P

 

Corsair are overated imo , have you check on CM storm's quickfire rapid? They're sold in a really good price.

In order from most overpriced, to 'least' overpriced:

 

1. All Apple devices (yes, even the iPod shuffle)

 

Good, now that we got that out of the way, the following are in no particular order:

 

2. Razer Blade

 

3. SSDs

 

4. Healthy food

 

5. About 65-75% of newly released video game titles (I'm talking about consoles, here.)

I would have, but only 5 items were needed.

 

It would have been there if 10 products were to be listed, for sure.

1. Houses

2. Cars

3. Software/Games

4. Candy

than why is coke usually cheaper if not at the same price? like water is just water while the have to put different chemicals that could be devastating you your health into coke. Oh and for any science nerd that thought of Carbon when reading coke I SALUTE you:D

Most of the price in the two are shipping and packaging, Restaurants get fountain coke for basically nothing but bottled costs quite a bit more
