Anfebious said: I would like to say I'm in but prices for games here in my country are tearing a big nasty hole in my ass. I can't commit to buy third party games as frankly I don't care for them on the Wii U. I can commit to buy the big Nintendo first party games though. MK8, Smash, DKCTF! |
Have you though about buying some eShop games? those are cheaper and you can download them, so there are no shipping or taxes for your country. I don't get why games are so expensive in Argentina and so cheap in Chile, but maybe you can find a store there that ships to your country? If I buy from a official store in my country the games goes for 80 U$, If I import the game I can buy them at 65 -70 U$, and I can take advantage of the discounts that amazon offers in some titles and get them even cheaper, for 25 - 35 U$

The problem is we can't import shit here. I had some friends who tried and got their games but had to wait a whole month! They where using the cheapest shipping method though, but sometimes the package doesn't even come...
Also the reason why we ship with the cheapest option is that the other ones end up making you pay another tax which usually makes the game as expensive as buying it in a store. I'v been thinking about going digital though, it seems to be a more cheaper option but... I really like to have a physical copy.I would go all digital for third party games though if they have some kind of deal. But for Nintendo games, I rather have my physical copies.
Thanks to this my spending habits have gone down a lot and now I am a lot more picky with what I buy . But it's not a big deal though, it made me appreciate more the games I have!
