What's the normal price of a new game in the UK? I think new games in Japan go for 70,000 yen or something right?

$750? haha...



Seeing how a gallon of Gas is roughly 10$ in England (granted the english gallons are a little bigger) I wouldn't say game companies are the one doing most of the profiteering......
Or a movie ticket is 8.5 pounds in London ( $14 or so) or a can of coke 0.6 pounds ( $0.90, it's $0.33 in the us if you purchase packs of 12 cans...)



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

One 0 too many there Akvod.

For £55 I get 3 months Lovefilm and that too the highest package. So that is 3 discs at a time and in that I will get MW2, Assassins Creed II, GT5, Forza 3, Halo ODST etc.

Actision are just asking for people to not purchase the game and I'm just fine with that.

Or a movie ticket in Pwllheli, N.Wales for a dear price of £3.50 :D

Lol, added an extra 0

>.<

Imports are so fucking expensive though. I'm super lucky that I was able to buy Yakuza 3 for only 65 USD.
