isn't ori only a $20 downloadable? not hating on the game but from a value perspective this seems like a horrible deal compared to the AC or MCC bundles.

keep in mind i don't speak german so if there are details in the OP i may be unaware of them. i basically only understand the "EUR 399,90" bit.

Europe in general isn't getting great deals (there are exceptions of course), for example over here after the Fifa/SO/AC/COD bundles sold out we only have the barebones Xbox one for 400 for like 2 months. While the ps4 is 400 with 1 game :|.

They should drop the price everywhere.

$20 for 10 hours of game that seemingly has an amazing gameplay.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. I bet you'd pay 1,000 dollars for a Ps4 with the face of Tim from Braid plastered all over it...if you had the money, of course :P
