Forums - Sales - Shocking Wii Game Prices

I went to a large Electronics chain in Germany today and was shocked at the prices for Wii software:

WiiFit Plus (with board) was 99 Euro

NSMBWii was 55 Euro

Zelda TP was 59 Euro

Goldeneye was 59 Euro

CoD: Black Ops was 65 Euro

These titles must be selling really well for having such price points, especially Zelda.

It's probably the same for Xbox360/Ps3 software. It's 15-20% cheaper on amazon.de, but ppl still buy it from the "large electronics chain" shops.

I live in Germany and I buy all Games&Movies online!



Well here in Europe games/electronics are generally more expensive than in the us.

For example 65 euro's for Black Ops translates to 86 dollars.

Amazon has Black Ops on sale for 52 dollars on ps3 which is 39 euro's

That's a massive difference in price of 34 dollars for the same game.

These are huge differences.

The prices here in Belgium are equally high.

I think if game/console prices were at the same level as the us, far more games would be sold.



Think for yourself, question authority

Same here.

If you go to Media Markt or Saturn it's your own fault. :P

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Exactly.

Especially NSMBWii you can get online for ~40 Euro - I do not understand that 10 Euro uptick except that the game must be selling like crazy.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

The issue here isn't to what those prices translate in other currencies. All those games are sold for about 10 Euro above their recommended retail price.

Yes. I went to one of the sales clerks and explained to him that they are a rip off.

No news for him.

Just disgusting since they claim to be the cheapest.

Is this some kind of suicide? The prices are on the heavens...
