Yeah, i regretted using cdwow at launch for BF4 and AC4. Ordered them a week before the EU launch of the PS4, and waited 3 weeks in total for them to get here. For 2 weeks the PS4 sitting there with feck all to play.. still, i got them both for 100e, so saved 40.
Ill use them again for probably wolfenstein, they generally get stuff to me by 2 and a half weeks.. long enough wait, thats why ill be picking up infamous day 1 over town, another bloody 70euro ^^

I buy from Amazon.co.uk where games seem to be cheaper, I got Tomb Raider for something like 46 euro and few days ago traded it in for 39 ...

Anyway I use supersaver delivery, used it for AC, Neef for Speed and Tomb Raider and all of those I got on release day (friday). On their order page it always says it should arrive next week wed-thursday so I was surprised I got it on Friday.

Would not pay 70e for a game ..

pleasant Co. · 02-03-2014 12:22PM

Nor would I, but so long as there are people out there willing to spend that amount they're gonna keep on charging €70, which is fine but they've priced me out of the market.

How can you complain about the price when you are going to pay them. It's that price for a reason

Personally I will get it off the American PSN if the price is right.

cloud493 · 02-03-2014 02:39PM

Only 65 for infamous in symths.

CombatCow · 02-03-2014 02:46PM

€65 is still a rip, get it from amazon.co.uk for £45 with free first class delivery to parcel motel, should have it on the Friday if not Saturday the 22'nd.

Xenji · 02-03-2014 02:49PM

Got Thief as a present for a friend and it set me back €44 including delivery.

Only? LOL

I was thinking of getting trine.

TrustedApple · 02-03-2014 04:52PM

I think i picked up infamous for £42 pound myself from amazon so around 51 euros. The money i am saving is going towards FF10 HD for the VITA

Like every time i go into gamestop i look how much they charge for games LoL and then if i see that something i wont is out i go online to buy said game.

But Gamestop had a good deal there with there 3 for 20 euros as there is quite a good few good games in it.

Varik · 02-03-2014 04:59PM

Can't find inFamous that cheap, Amazon have it for £45 but then there's tax or parcel motel on top of that.

Grayditch · 02-03-2014 05:17PM

I can't tell you how much I miss HMV and their €45 games. I'm simply not paying €70 to GameStop.

VGP have it for €44 including delivery if you do not mind waiting around 7-10 days, they usually ship new games a week before they are released in Europe so the wait time is not actually that long, unless the game has the same WW release date.

Remember when 360 and PS3 games first came out? They were €65-€70 at the time and later new releases dropped as they came out. It's the same with the PS4 and X1 now, new releases will get cheaper later in the life cycle. Even HMV were charging €70 in 2005 and 2006.

Gonzo · 02-03-2014 05:33PM

I remember Nintendo 64 games were £70 to £85 each for first few months that console came out, Xbox 360 games were up to 82.99euro each in hmv for first few months

Yeah, but even PS3 games are 60-65 quid in GameStop. I think if the old HMV was around, the games would certainly be cheaper than 70.

Is the ps3 to ps4 upgrade still going on...Bf4 is 34.99 on ps3

pleasant Co. · 02-03-2014 06:40PM

Yes, new console games have always been expensive and that is simply because there have always been people willing to pay those prices, you early adopter folk who don't mind a bit of plundering help sony/ms/nin recoup a nice chunk of their investment, once they've hit their target (or on the odd occasion when they're not being allowed to milk it) then the prices will begin to drop.
Of course, if the same people weren't willing to pay silly prices for games their prices would drop quicker/not start out so high.

Folks, that "that's the way it's always been" isn't much of an argument at all.

Yes.

You will receive an entitlement to purchase the PS4™ digital version of this game at a discounted price.

Thanks for the reply...was reading the bf4 thread there i think i may leave it..

Grayditch · 02-03-2014 06:49PM

I'd never played a Battlefield game, bar Bad Company single player, but I enjoy BF4, I have to say. It's pretty messy, but I'm having fun with it.

Loved bad company...had bf3 and enjoyed it but i don't want to throw my money into a game that seems quite broken for some people...im just a bit antsy i wanna get a ps4 game but nothing really interests me

Varik · 02-03-2014 06:52PM

Ye but like Grayditch said it's not just PS4/One games.

I was shocked when Gamestop were looking for €50 for the Old Republic when that came out and that was a PC game. Shop here are more expensive but it's not just here, even online retailers are now asking for more. The only way to get anything for a decent price is either importing for console or key resellers.

The release of Skyrim saw the price of new release PC games sky rocket in GameStop. It's rare to find a new release PC game for under €50 in there and more often than not its €60 for them. Before Skyrim you'd be looking at €35-€45 for a new PC title.

It was around that time October/November/December. But I think I did get Skyrim for €45 for console; bought 2 copies.

Been playing DC universe all week and haven't paid a penny yet, but I might subscribe today or tomorrow. SOE are great for the F2P games, it's not badly restricted and paying does get you new content rather than easing a restriction on gameplay.

Can you tell me what that parcel motel service is, or does, and how much it costs to use ?

JamboMac · 02-03-2014 08:11PM

Lads when you get it from the Canadian site do add on have to be from the American PSN

The DLC does, but it is very simple to get it.

Funny enough, sony published games are only 60e, or cheaper in some cases. Its the other 3rd party publishers that charge 70e. sony make no money from them sales.

cloud493 · 02-03-2014 08:21PM

If I order something off amazon, how much would I pay to be sure I'd get it for release day?
