I went into 7th gen kind of late and had many game I wanted to play and then I bought a laptop that went a little higher that 7th gen and thought to buy lots of steam games for cheap. This was so not true. Most AAA games where cheaper on consoles for me and I got a disc that could be resold. Another thing that makes the games cheaper, even the old games whas the eventual collectors edition, game of the year edition, complete editions and all thouse, they offered all dlc for a cheap price and steam never used to do this. I remember looking into skyrim, red dead, gta, bioshock, devil may cry, final fantasy and many others and found that ordering from amazon for ps3 was always cheaper. Unless you are comparing digital console games, wich are more expensive than retail counterpart for some stupid reason, but I like physical disc so that was never an issue. Im guesssing you could wait for steam sales, but they always had games I had no interest in playing. and if you missed a sale you wanted then you are screwed. |
Exactly, pc games being cheaper is not true, at least not in Canada. It's more the other way around.
Today I picked up The book of unwritten tales 2 for ps4, new physical copy CAD 19.99, on Steam CAD 38.69
Finally decided to give The crew a try, limited edition CAD 19.99, on Steam CAD 29.99
My kid bought NHL 11 for ps3 for a dollar and there were tons of dirt cheap 2nd hand ps3 games available.
Even digital games on psn are cheaper in Canada atm than their Steam counterparts.
For example The vanishing of Ethan Carter CAD 21.99 on Steam, CAD 19.99 on psn
And new AAA releases, always the same or more on Steam at release and identical for physical copies. (Except the pc physical copy is worthless after you activate the game)
PC gaming can be cheaper if you buy humble bundles and get the good deals at Steam sales. Find a good game store and you have those deals year round.I guess you can go into the grey market and buy cd keys for less. Still doesn't beat the resale value on console games.
