-HP- Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 I'm sooooo fucking angry about prices that goes for PS4 games here in Poland (I have no idea how are the prices outside Poland). But I remember like all CEO's of whatever, were saying that the game prices won't change and it will be the same as it was for ps3 (50-60$/ ~200 Polish zł) and now ? I want to get Alien and Evil Within - each cost ~280 zł (~93$) This shit is crazy guys ! I know that production of a AAA title these days is way more expensive, but deymm, there is over 10 mln PS4's out there - that's more than ever in that first year. WTF !? As i see it, after cool non pirated PS3, we will get pirated PS4 veryyyyy soon! Rant off ! EDIT: I've checked on amazon and the Alien: Isolation is 59.95$ (~180zł) WTF Playstation POLAND WTF !? but anyways from now on i will get most of my games from amazon. Order the games from Amazon.co.uk that's what I did back when I lived in EU. The shipping costs are nothing compared to the money you save. knj 1 Quote
Mazy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 It still pisses the hell out of me every time I buy a new game this generation and the price in the PSN store (or Xbox store for that matter) is often up to €20 higher than it is buying physical copies on the internet. Having an actual human delivering an actual package with a product that is actually made from actual materials saves me nearly 25%, as opposed to just using internet bandwidth to do it, so fucking ass backwards. From a "carbon footprint" perspective it's kind of appalling TBH. knj 1 Quote
Buddy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 And yet people buy on PSN and that is the exact reason the prices are like they are. Quote

Another tip: Store prices here are around 50 euros but I almost always wait a month and get it for around 30 euro on the second hand market. Lots of people buy it, finish it and sell it again. Saves me a ton of money. Plus, we got budgetgamer.nl, a site dedicated to sharing the cheapest prices for new games. Also, if you are in a tight spot and can't find it cheap send me a message. Shipping to Poland is around 8 euros so I can probably help you out. Quote

Causing games to cost more again I agree though, didn't realize the prize on console games are so high when I got my ps4, been buying PC games for half the price for the last 10 years now. It's not that I can't afford it, but I feel there are so few games worth spending that much money on. So so far I've only got one game for my DustStation 4, The Last of Us, but I have to pay for a subscription to play online? løl. Should have upgraded my command center instead Quote
dux Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 That's one of the main reasons I've abstained for getting a console since the n64. The price of the games is just ludicrous. Not all of us work for Blizzard and have the big bucks to spend on these kinda things :v Seldoon182 1 Quote

Sprony Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Yeah sorry devs, it's just economics. Why pay 60 when you can pay 30? I know you are just messing about but it's a valid concern. Quote
