I don't know about German stores, cause I like to have my covers in a language I can read, and my German isn't very good. But there's a few stores in Ireland, the UK (and their crown dependencies) that have pretty good prices, some even with free shipping throughout Europe. The only disadvantage for us portuguese is that we'll have a harder time reselling our game (these games obviously lack an IGAC stamp, for those of you that know what that is). Another thing worth looking for is second-hand games. Yeah it's a bit of a rip off (they make a ton of money on used games) but I got my brand-new second-hand copy of Big Brain Academy for little over half-price on Game - a lot of games there really are "like-new". Yet another thing is that some retail stores like Game now let you return a game for 15 days for whatever reason - and yes "I played it and didn't really like it" is a valid reason. Obviously you can only do that once per purchase, but since renting games is basically impossible around here, that's how I get my "rents". |
Yes, second hand is a rip off. I got FE for 25 Euros (ok) and Tales for 45 Euros (rip off) used. The reason I still dont own Beyond Good and Evil and Skies of Arcadia are their respective high second hand prices on amazon in Germany. Sucks big time.
