VC Price Hike

Mr E · 2007-09-13 23:05:12

Greedy S.O.Bs. Already overpriced compared to XBL, now they do this. As of now, new SNES games are 900 points, and new NES games are 600. Older games stay the same price (800 and 500). The first SNES game to get the hike is.... Mario Picross? First hiked NES game is Super Mario Bros Lost Levels.

Are they actually price hikes or is it because these games were never released in Europe and they're only charging extra for that? I hope so anyway.

Wasn't the NES Turtles game 600 points also though

I hope so too. Great that we get a price hike but the yanks are still paying almost half as much as we do for VC games.

I'd be willing to bet it is just for these rarities. Still crap though, they were too expensive to begin with.
