I will pay max $70 for a of a game. I would be more happy if they give us steelbook and decent booklet for $70.

I never buy games at launch. Why the hell should i pay the full price when you can get the same game 3 months later for less than half the launch price?

Only when i have a new console and no backlog to play, i buy games day one. And even then i don't pay more than 40 pounds :)

You seem to be from GB (can't tell with your profile being blocked xD), you GENERALLY don't pay more than 40 pounds for a game...lucky bastard^^

While I would be happy if the retail price for games remained at $60, I'm sort of expecting it to increase to $70 for the Xbox One and PS4. I personally only pay full retail for games that I absolutely have to obtain on release (e.g., franchises that I already enjoy, developers that have a track record that I trust, etc.). I usually wait for big sales (such as those seen on Steam) for the rest of the games.

lol I'm from The Netherlands, but i buy all my entertainment from amazon.co.uk, as 40 pounds is way cheaper than 60 euros. Plus Amazon discounts the prices pretty fast.

Thank you Sony for making your gaming consoles region free :)

I will never pay 60€ for a game. Not with the UK being so close.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Most game prices do tend to drop off pretty quickly here in the UK. I rarely ever have to pay the full price of £40 for games since I can just wait about a month or so for the price to be less than £30. Unless it's a game that I REALLY want then I pay full price. Though £40 for a game is a VERY steep price point imo. It would be perfect if all games launched at £30, which is my ideal price. Less is always nice of course.

UK is basically the saviour nation for gamers since the price on games drop ridiculously fast over a short period of time. That is why I love our online retailers as well, who are very competitive amongst each other. How are prices over there in Germany?
