yes € would be $, they just converted it to pound and dollar in the report without any sense.

This kind of fits with the rumours that EU would get the system later than US... But c'mon, games for 69 euros?! Not a chance!!

EDIT: daaaamn! Apparently games ARE sold for 79 euros nowadays!!! So 69 euros would be pretty sweet :D


79 euros? Where and which game? I think the vast majority are 64 euros. 

 

Uk, most are £39 before the easy to find discounts. 

I looked at Amazon Germany, and they'd list AC3 for 79 I think...?


Special edition

hahaha fail on my part :D



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Lol, this has been the same at Amazon Germany since ages. 349 for the console, 69,99 for the games, which is just ridiculous.

Just a placeholder.

No way do I think that's legit. Just a maximum-priced placeholder and that's all.

I hope.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Better not, december 7th is way too late, all of this is bs. The only thing that could be true would be the price but I am betting something along the lines of 280-300 euro.

AAA games are €69 these days (and since the beginning of the gen) in Europe, so that's not so surprising. 

I live in Europe (Ireland), a new AAA game here costs between €45-55. I bought MW3 for €40 about 2 weeks after launch.

The last time games were near that price in this country was back in about 2007 and only for a select few titles (COD 4 springs to mind). Or unless you were shopping at over-priced retailers.

So €69 would be a bit shocking.

Perhaps I'm out of touch because I haven't lived in mainland Europe since 2005. But I now at the beginning of the gen those were the prices, at least in game shops (don't know about buying online).

Anyway, surely the official RRPs remain similar, right? Even though the shop may discount the games these days. I guess that's the price that the site lists.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Not a Wii release like the article states, it's 250 EUR and 50 EUR for the games.
