Forums - Gaming - Both My Wii and PS3 Are Gathering Dust...

And I though 70€ for xbox360/PS3 games in my country was expensive. Which is still around 85-90$ though. Wii games are 50€, a little over 60$.

Same, but whats funny is Wii games in here are the same price (if not more) as PS3 games. and most of them pass the 60 $ price.



Where I live console games are expensive.

Super Mario Galaxy: 200RON~250RON=$59~$74

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess: 250RON=$74

There are some games that are cheaper, possibly because they aren't selling.

Started ordering from Amazon.co.uk, it's much cheaper.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: £18=$25

Disaster: Day Of Crisis: £21=$29

de Blob: £19=$26

Super Mario Galaxy: £33=$45



buy them online, i been saving 10-15 $ in games that way.



 

These come quite cheap!

@Vetteman94, yeah I can. Been using Amazon, games turn out to be around $100 this way. Problem is that I need to have some one live in the states then come to Venezuela, because shipping from the US to VZLA would also be very expensive and Amazon doesn't ship here.

@Dark Chaos, Friend of mine had his Xbox modded. It broke (not RROD) a few months later (disk getting scratched) and warranty, ofcourse, woldn't cover it. Woulnd't want that to happen to me. Consoles are too expensive here. Wii is about 2million bolivares, which is nearly $900.

@YesWiiCan, venezuela isn't a poor country. Problem is government prevents importation of certain products in masses, and in those are most electronics so people with games stores have to go to the States, buy games then re-sell them here and since you can't buy dollars at official price (not enough, anyways) you end up buying the dollars at the black market, which is around 5x the going price, thus forcing them to sell games at said prices instead of 100 bucks or around 200 thousand bolivares.

@Esmoreit, fuck off.



damn games in the UK are fairly reasonably well priced. usually £40 for full retail price at launch but u can get games for cheaper on Amazon(like me).
I feel sorry for Latin America




men thats hard stuff... in where i live every game goes around 60 euros witch is 15% of our minimum wage... but i import them for around 25 euros witch is the equivalent of an half tank of gasoline... so i cant complain so much...

ps3 is region free, so considering importing some games if you can find a reliable seller.

wii isn't region free, so do the twilight hack to open up the system. With the right software you'll be able to play imported games. Shouldn't void your warranty, either.

Not sure what else you can do, really...
