| Mudface said: The RRP, certainly. It's £54.99 in the UK, normally console games go for around £44.99. The PC version is £39.99, up from £34.99. There are plenty of special offers here, including supermarket loss leaders (they'll lose money on the game and hope to make it up in increased sales of other stuff), but it's definitely more expensive than 'normal'. |
The UK is kind of a special case, due to how much the British Pound has declined in the recent past... obviously they're testing the waters on how much they can increase prices there, to compensate the decline in the currency. It probably also reduces the number of continental Europeans who import the game from UK (though frankly I now buy most of my DVDs and games from the UK, there are good promotions there, and with the weak currency it becomes very cheap for me).
