Where the $60 for new games goes

Dec 20th 2006 10:54AM (Joystiq)
WoW! you pay 40 pounds in England! Thats cheaper than in the U.S where we pay 60 U.S. You don't live in america so you are not paying 80 U.S You would not pay 80 pounds would you? You currency is higher so of course it costs more if you compared to a weaker currency! Your job pays you in pounds right? not dollars. So it evens out to where you are paying 40. Here in the states where we get payed in U.S currency and pay things in U.S currency have to pay 60 dollars to those fat cats! Thats sucks! and yeah there are some third world countries that sell games for 100 U.S dollars but this is because these items are very limited and there is a very short demand for them. So the retailer has to buy them at a very high price not like big companies in the states or in england. SO his over head is going to be higher and he will have to sell it higher. Plus he has the advantage of he being probably one of the only sellers in the town that sells these games and can sell it at any price he wants.
