Earthbound in UK = NEVER
True.. for a few days extra its not worth it... but you can see why europeans want to pirate from time to time!
Game deveolpers get hardly anything.. £6 from a £49.99 release... its the producers such as EA that rake it in.. and rules like Sonys "have to burn a fresh copy of the game to test it - but only allowed to on a Sony Playstation DVDr" making it rape expensive
Retail do take alot!
and still- at least its not $90 for a new release like it is here!!
then theres the games that just peeve me off.. I paid £27 for Beautiful Katamari and only got half a game! keeping all the levels back for DLC ¬_¬
Your case number for this is *********, which should be quoted in any future contact about this issue.
Regrettably there is nothing unlawful in the business practice that you have detailed in your email. Traders can sell products for whatever price they choose to however extortionate those prices may appear to be. As long as there is not anything misleading about the way the price or description of the product is presented then traders are not committing an offence.
However I will notify the details through to Trading Standards for their attention to ensure that the business is trading fairly and not to the detriment of consumers. There is no commitment for them to contact you about this.

take away all the crappy film titles from that bunch of games... give them there own percentage... then see how many comparativly speaking are FPS/TPS compared to "good" games lol
"I think you're being a tad overly dramatic. We've been selling them at work (Game) in the UK for a while now and they've not been too popular as they are kind crap."
Thats because they are uber expensive for what they are- 2 for ~£8, randomized, and NO BASES INCLUDED!! If GAME got off their high horse with prices.. then they'll be alot more popular!
