Game Prices

[ebola]

anyone else notice how much game prices have fallen lately. I think it rocks. I just picked up capcom v snk pro for psx from capcom.com for $20. this game just came out. ok so im buying psx games and not ps2 games but im happy. beats what they were charging back in cartrige days.

well... being in america... i can't get that game. but i do have Capcom vs. Snk 2 for my ps2. so i'm good. only got that game for $15

Very true. Here in California, if you know where to look, you can find all sorts of games at "bargin basement" prices. I would say that it is definately a good time to be a gamer.

I remember back in the NES and SNES days, here in NY the good new games went for 60 or 70 bucks... even used ones (if you could find used games dealers) went for like 30 or 40... now new games are rarely over 40 or 50, and you can find used games everywhere for as cheap as a few bucks... it is great indeed

Ha, price drops, love em and hate them. Ever happen to anyone when they buy a damn game (pc) it drops the next week? And u like, ugh wtf happened? Example for me, I bought soul reaver 2 (pc) a week after it dropped to 30$ US, then a few days later it dropped to 20$, and i was stuck!!! i hate that!!!!!! they only drop when i get em, whats the use.........dont mind my rant

nintendo really messed up going for the cartridge for the 64 and i remember when Zelda OOT went as high as $80.

[systemid]

i dont remember it ver being 80 dollars what are you smoking?

[Gamer1]

really dude. i'm not kidding... KB toys, EB Games, Software etc. jacked up the prices during the limited edition zelda oot, and during xmas

[Rhombus]

That sounds believable to me... I know SMB 3 for NES was $75 for a long time... I remember buying FFVI and CT for about $75 as well when they came out... so i think TOoT could have been 80 at some point

i've bought pc games for over $50 to find out they sell complete sets of a series (like age of empires II) for less than $30. damn game companies.

Ha that happened to me too! Balders Gate, back in the day, i bought it for $40, only to realize they had the bundle pack of it with some expansions for 20$, in the same damn store!

What's this story about fallen prices for games? That's maybe true in america, but not in Europ, I tell you.. And I donnot even talk about imported English games... these prices are not normal...

agreed, in europe it only gets more expensive. PC games are often 50 euro's nowadays, which is about $50, and with that they're the cheapest, console games are 60 euro or higher.

As for used games, yes, PSX is cheaper now, what's left that is.

Hey, i got a few games in Europe, they do drop, granted it takes them longer to do so. I bought severance in europe for 30euros. This was after a few months, its price was 50euros before.
