Forums - Gaming Discussion - Gamins Attrocities

So what game related things have happened to you feel disgusted. I'll start.

I was at EB, and some kid comes and trades in 5 PS2 games and gets $20. He would've got 25 if e had chosen store credit.

 

The over-inflated game prices in Australia.

Wii-$100

360/PS3 $120

Ds/PSP $70

 

That's the standard price, although games are often on sale first week, which is usually months after their American  release

 

So what gaming attoricities have you experienced/encountered.



So why did they call it the 360?because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away- some guy on Gamespot

On Italy

"As long as there is a Triforce, there will be a Zelda  As long as there is a prosperous kingdom, there will be an evil that wants destroy it And as long as there is an oppressive force running Hyrule, there will be a boy, in a green tunic, with a silver shield, and a magic blade, to stand against them."-The Legend of Zelda

Basically the way Australia gets screwed. Why is it, for example, that Smash Bros is about to release in Japan, and we don't even have a release date? No More Heroes? Why did Phoenix Wright take a year and a half to get here? Japan has 4 and we just got 2!



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

I know its strange lol. I get why they try to price gouge us, but what do they gain by delaying games, when bigger and better things come our way and put us off games we would originally have purchased?



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

I once saw someone take the Red Medicine in the Legend of Zelda instead of the Heart Container.

Stupid.

With a note you can buy that medicine for like a measly 200 rupees.

You can't buy back that lost heart container though.

Ohh you probably meant something more recent then the NES Legend of Zelda.


How about someone buying a 360, trading it in for credit with all his games, 2 weeks later buying another new 360, selling it to his friend and then buying yet a third 360 about a month later?

You Australian gamers should import from Europe. They're all PAL, they're usually out sooner and they're cheaper.

I probably should. But sometimes they're released the same time n both areas. But some games are released in both places at the same time.

 

Also, Australia doesn't even have Trauma Centre Second Opinion yet. NOr do we know if or when we're getting it. I don't really want it, but's it was a launch title in the US.

 Can't you simply import? Japan is not far from Australia, so the shipping fees wouldn't be that ridiculous.
