TBH it's your own stupid fault. 1 google and you can find them much cheaper. People are entitled to sell products at whatever rate they see fit.

This, how can anyone be so dumb :s

OMG, sooooo dumb!!!

Come on guys. Cut the guy a break, sure he made a mistake, but no need to rub it in. Sad.

Not sure what is the bigger mistake, paying that much for the games or posting the fact on here.

if you paid that much you must have thought it was worth it otherwise you would not have bought it. No one forces you to buy games at that price.

Also paid for BF3 retail and then bought Premium some time after. I did the same for COD on ps3 some time back with all those expansions. At the time of purchasing, maybe I thought it was a good idea who knows

He seems to think it's EA's fault, that's the sad part.

They didn't force the purchase on you

same as others have said just shop around, i picked up BF3 plus Premium for 27 quid, which to me is a steal for how much content is available, but on origins pricing, without a sale it sucks.

Lol, you sound terrible with money.

Marketers dream.

I start this thread because I spent £80 on Battlefield 3 and £65 on SIMCITY.

I paid over the odds on dlc and it has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Thoughts?/Boycott?

They only get away with this because nubs like you pay them.

You should learn to shop around a bit.

TNA · 31 May 2013 at 22:30

I am not going to lie, nearly everything, if not everything they are saying is true.

Feel sorry for you mate. But yeah, you need to research before you buy blindly next time.

Those two in particular made my chuckle.

I'm guessing your new to PC gaming, maybe from a console background? Yes you have been royally ripped off. PC games old and new can be found very cheap, you just have to shop around and get to know which sites are trustworthy sellers and won't con you. Get some experience buying PC games and you'll soon be fishing out the bargains. My advice is to check the PC Daily Deals thread on this forum regularly first.

I learned my lesson when I paid full price for the x-files game
