44.99 for Black & White??

TwoShedsJackson

That's the price in Game & EB, going to check HMV before I buy Venom his copy

44.99? A price not at all influenced by the hype and expectation I suppose - nah, they just slapped an extra tenner on for the hell of it.

Bit crap, really.

Megatron

If I want to pay that much for a game i'll buy a PS2 Game !!!!

wtf ?????????
still might buy a copy for my sister ( who hates puter games + she only has a mac) so i guess it will have to be installed on my machine !!!!

by the waym anyone know if liffey valley is open late tonight as i will be passing by and would like to pop in a purchase said game in title of thread

Plus B+W has some really cool protection. A giant cow comes around and drops a boulder on your house.

btw, EA is doing really bad, might explain why the price is so high. If I had known beforehand EA was the guys selling B+W I wouldn't of bought it.

actually do a search for EA on lum the mad. There are more stories, but basically they are in trouble.

... search is down, try these.

£39.99 in smyths in galway I think there is a smyths in Dublin to so the price should be the same there

[CrimsonGhost]

Yeah, Virgin on Aston Quay 44.99, purchased my copy this morning and register myself on www.bwgame.com. Oh and for those who can't decide what cover to get, it doesn't matter the cover is reversible, so if you buy the white one and decide you don't like it just turn it around for the black one. and vice versa.

Lucutus

£44.99 in HMV on Grafton Street.

Got it a the nicely discounted price of £41 tho.

There's a pack of twenty smokes I'll need for smacking pe0ns around.

just got my copy. now all i need to do is find some spliff and im going to lock my self away for the weekend.

I just said to myself time to go submit an angry post about the B&W price only to find CT had beat me to it. The mystery for me is that it's £27.99 on gameplay.com. Now don't go saying to me that that's sterling. 9 times out of 10 the sterling price matches the punt price - i.e. £29.99 on both islands etc. but for some reason we are getting stitched up here just as we did for Champ Man at £30 when it was £20-£25 in the UK. Bloody disgrace.

Update: Bought it in Smyths, Tallaght for £39.99. It'll have to do

Lenny

anyone think of buying it off sky digital ?
games are hell of a lot cheaper on that ...

amp

So anything else in that tiny box to make it worth 45 squid?

Ahh I remember the day when I bought the special edition of Quake for £50. Not only did I get every single program iD had done up to then but I also got a pewter monster, a cool t-shirt dog tags and the DOOM comic!

And now I have to pay £5 quid less to get a cd that cost about 10p* to make.

I also remember getting high quality games on the Amiga from a certain ex-peon student.


*Note to people who want to correct this: Shut up.

Cake Fiend

DrunkLeprachaun

I readily agree.

In some cases the game gets changed to fuk over all the people who paid too. I now have put the Tribes 2 CD in the drive at all times because some bright sparks thought to rip it off like PHB mentioned.

meglome

Well I'm not going to encourage piracy in any way but charging £45 for a PC game will inevitably lead to people copying it. To be honest judging by the people I've seen in DnC most of the copies seem to be illegal ones. I haven't bought a copy yet but will be heading to Smyths Store so I'm not completely ripped off.

Warez or gamez makes me sick. Sad *******s. And I'm talking about everyone here. I have always paid for a game. I don't care what you say in defence about it, it's bleedin pathetic. And Tribes 2 is out. How many of you twats have downloaded it already? "but I will buy it when it comes out..." na na na total crap. Here we go again. When tribes came out in the US they were playing it here online months before it was released here. "but it's release was delayed, what am I supposed to do?" ****ing wait until it's legally available and stop being a sad price hiking twat.

Musician, just coz ure a big honest john doesnt mean everyone else is a w@nker for downloading it. 99% of ppl that are offered a warez copy of a 40 quid game will take it gladly, it's the norm. you're just special.

Clintons Cat

lol megatron

Time is on my side
patience my friend
good things come to those who wait

Hmm Urban Chaos down to £9.99 ....

actually i have already bought it, i wanted to test it because with that much hype it could easily be crap, daiktana ne1?

Yes it does.

Bloody bleeting kiddies have utterly no idea how much they're screwing up this industry with their casual piracy. It's the same sad ba$tards who'll be whinging when all the major PC developers move to console-only dev - but they'll only have themselves to blame.

DrunkLeprachaun

I do not like warez, but I do not have such strong convictions for abadonware. State your veiws.

well, not getting in on any side here, but zero, you can ip your own cds for mp3s and its legal.
what you should have said was
'shinji, have you downloaded any illegal mp3s....?'
ahh, truth makes hypocrites of all of us eventually...

Megatron

very true eamo ...
and enjoy Holland.
anyway i'm guilty of the who being offered a gamez adn accepting it on several occisions, but that was a good few years ago , scince i coped on i have now a HUGH collection of games and other stuff
you can't just lablel people who use warez as muppets , sometimes it's the only way the are going to get a verion of said software .

and yes they majority are kiddies, and yes they will be a factor is anti-warez clamp down but the only thing we can do for now is
Deal with it in our own way , and laugh as the kiddes get fined or some such !!!

well that's my pennies worth
