Revealed XBLAugust prices incorrect [Update]

This might be an odd question-- not knowing where you are in relation to the southern border-- but wouldn't it be easier for you to buy points cards from US stores, taking advantage of the value differential? Or are the cards region-locked (which would be more than a little silly)?

I do sympathize with your plight-- lived near Buffalo for a long time, and in better times I took trips up to Niagara Falls to take advantage of the exchange rate there.

Disregard the first part of my comment-- the cards are region-specific. Which, as I said, is more than a little silly.

I still stand by my expression of regret at your plight, though.

Rachet & Clank: Quest for Booty is $15 on PSN and its the equivalent of a full 3D retail game with about 5 hrs of gameplay....

Insomniac is a company of 180+ employees while The Behemoth is a company of practically two. Also Castle Crashers has definitely more content and replayability, you can't compare the two.

Uh, yes I can compare them

"Insomniac is a company of 180+ employees while The Behemoth is a company of practically two. Also Castle Crashers has definitely more content and replayability"

The Behemoth is about 6 as far as I know. Anyway, The Behemoth is a small studio so their game must be a bit pricier (but then again, just look at Everyday Shooter), the fact that there are over 180+ people (according to you) working for Insomniac means that the game should be more expensive, since they are professionals and they have to also pay for many more things.

We can argue about the time needed to finish the game, the main quest for Castle Crashers is at around 5 hrs too.

You want to talk about unlockables and all, but also take in mind that R&C: Quest for Booty looks as amazing as Tools of Destruction....

I played Assassin's Creed, Burnout, and CoD4 for free because they came on a physical disc that I could borrow. $22.50 for a download only game that I can't sell, trade, or loan is bullshit.

If you wait long enough, new games eventually drop to $20-30. There is no chance in hell I will be buying this game.

So you like to borrow, rent or buy games at discount after a time, while I like to buy them, usually when they come out (except for the collection of retro games obviously). I don't mind paying full price, I don't mind encouraging people who make games by contributing to their paycheck either, even if that means putting money in Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo's pocket.

Personally, I'm not seeing any bullshit in that, I just have a totally different point of view.

In the end, it all comes down to the personal propensity to spend on video games.

On the other hand, I usually make sure I'm not paying for a shitty game before buying it, either by playing a demo or gathering information from people I know and trust, because I don't like to throw money away either, I just have a different amount of money that I'm willing to spend on them.

i h8 ur cummant cistum joystiq :(

Only Siths believe in absolutes.

(You are denying Bionic Commando? Really? What the f*ck is wrong with you?)

I just never played the original so I'm not getting the hype. Plus, I was very disappointed with their 1942 remake.

C'mon Pringles guy you can always try it 4 phree.

hope the long delays make CC worth it. Even at that price it is still a must buy.

You know that especial feeling when you really feel like arguing or fighting with someone for not apparent reason, well I fell like it right now so what the hell let’s make a close examination of your post.


-"This game sucks"

R-No one said it sucks, is overpriced but that doesn’t mean is bad

-"It has snes graphixs"

R-Not even SotN on the Psone looks as polished so I would say Gamecube at least. Oh yeah bonus points for using internet slang to make all comments sound retarded, very original.

-"Thats too much"

R-1800 points is well if you can afford Video games every week you can buy it but that doesn’t mean you have to. If you like it but you don’t feel like paying 1800p give it a few months and you can get it at a better price. You know when nobody cares.

-Had this game really come out for the SNES it would cost 50 dollars and you guys wouldnt say a damn thing.

R- No because in that case it would’ve been the game with the best graphics in the system.

-But since its $23 with online play, and achivements, now its overpriced??

R- Achievements should never ever be a point in any argument unless of course you want to lose the argument. N+ managed to pull out the same stuff and they are not charging 1800 points.1200 would be a more tolerable price since okay they manage to improve their art this time around but Yes, it is overpriced.

-Give me a break. They didnt take 5 weeks to make this game you know.

R-What are you saying other developers created their games in 5 weeks? (That would explain Guitar Hero Aerosmith tho’) Yes we know they didn’t since they delayed the game for a year.

-I think its worth it, because after paying 50 dollars for the karate kid for my NES, no game will EVER be overpriced.

R-First I feel so sorry for you, second lol

-In conclusion: Dont like it, dont buy it - you idiots!

R-The guy who bought Karate kid for 50$ (If only your parents had bough it for you then this shouldn’t be a problem) is calling some group of people (To obscure to tell) idiots for some videogame discussion.

Mr.ESC: Please give me a tl;dr. My goldfish-like attention span could not allow me to read your entire post.

It doesn't matter heh the balls are inert.
