Nice new avatar

The prices aren't that bad. It's not like Square-Enix is the only company to charge those kind of prices for there games.

Huh? I thought handheld games were at least as expensive as PC games or maybe even higher so that sounds low (or at least not bad).

No, I will not boycott SE unless they stop making good games and fully concentrate on bad ones. Their prices aren't any worse than the industry usually has, at least for non-handhelds. And even if they are, they're mostly worth it. Also, they seem to support every platform more or less.

No worries about the game prices in Europe. We are just much richer than Americans. Especially considering exchange rates.

Their games are more expensive due to higher quality. At least, it's more likely that you'd get high quality games from SE.

SE have one good DS game. I don't see how they deserve more money than anyone else.

pfft -- i wish DS games were $40 here in Australia ...

We pay around $70 AU / $65 US per game ...
and like $113 US per 360/PS3 game ...

Not to mention we have to wait months and months for release dates and constanly get lied to ...
** how hard is it to convert a game from English to English ? How much locaisation needs to be done for region free systems ? ... i wish we would just get the US version 4 - 12 months earliar ( see Rockband 1 ... with an estimated September - October 08 release date here )
