You have to buy games from Fnac? In Belgium (ask maximrace) we call Fnac horrible for games. Games like Sunset overdrive/Dead Rising 3 dare to still be full priced :s.

Yes, Portugal is like that. Ps games drop in price in other stores tho, Xbox games don't cause they don't sell them.

There's also mediamarkt, but only a few stores(4 I believe) in the whole country. Personally I don't have easy access to any, not sure how the prices are atm.



Well I believe you but you should try to buy from somewhere else online =p. The idea that I can only buy from Fnac...the horror...

Unless I want something day 1, I usually import from UK.. Amazon uk no longer has free shipping for Portugal so I don't use it anymore, but there are still some stores with cheap shipping in there. 

If I didn't import I wouldn't have access to 50% of the games...

CastleStorm looked pretty fun when it first released, I'll give it a try. Might give Mafia II a try. Don't really care about F1 2013. Here's hoping they blow us away next month since it's the 1 year anniversary of GWG on XB1.


It is like MS not care, I mean they should know that people are excited about the games with GOLD or PS plust so you should try hard to make Gold look great against PS plus.....but then they give 1 game away for xbox one and Ps plus has 5 games for PS4 in May...

Should also check to import from the states/canada.  My brother pre ordered from the US and I got FF type 0 for 42 € (including shipping) few days after release.  I don't mind waiting for a game to come :).

Many I know buy online in UK  (I did that a lot for 360 and PS3), I think that is also a reason why the UK market is so big compared to as example Germany since many here in Germany buy over the internet in UK which does obviously increase UK sales and decrease German sales. 

Many also buy in Austrian online shops when there is once again a version we only get censored here lol.

Importing something from outside EU falls into a big risk for the Portuguese people... if the order is above 37€ more or less, it can be stuck and charged with more taxes.. Like 100% above the original price.



Well atleast you have sunshine in Portugal :s.
