    I just saw that Black Ops is up there for 70 euro. Really? I knew GoD was bad but not this much. Even worse that it's the most downloaded game currently. Do people know how much they're being ripped off?

    EDIT: Also I just compared a few others. Laughably but not surprisingly, MW2 is out for 50 euro but RDR is out for 30? I'm starting to see a trend here..... :)

    Halo reach was 69.99 last I checked and was in need of a laugh :D

    Really wish they would slash some of the prices on old games and put them up on deal of the week.

    It's stupid of them to keep the prices at the RRP for such a long time. It turns people ever using the service if they know the games can be gotten cheaper elsewhere.

    Surely they would sell more if they, say knocked a tenner off of it every 6 months or so, to make them seem like they are priced competitively. I'm sure they are reluctant to do that though since they get a much larger slice of the pie, what with reduced costs of manufacturing etc.

    The pricing structure is mental. I bought Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood from it a couple of months back for €30, but that's the only worthwhile price I've ever seen.

    A deal of the week/sale section is essential.
