PC Game Prices

It's great being a PC Gamer, I mean look at the price you can pick most new releases up now for, the average is around £16-£17 quid which then drops to around £15 after a few weeks, This past year I havn't known a new release to be more than £20

, It's great for us consumers. It seems the shops can't give them away a few weeks after release

. Anyone agree with me?

Nope Most new Big releases are around the £25-6 mark but i agree that a fair percentage drop in price in a couple of months.

Absoloute rubbish unless you shop retail, look around and you can always pick up new releases for under 20 quid, i've done it for all the big ones this year.

Heres a few i have found

Transformers The Game £24.99
Overlord £24.99
Rugby 08 £24.99
Bioshock £29.99
Medal Of Honor: Airborne £26.99
Tiger Woods 08 £24.99
Crysis £26.99

Of course some of these prices may drop before release, apart from overlord which is out just now.

Most of those prices will drop before release no doubt. Especially when more retailers start to upload them onto there sites. I notice with most of those games only a handful actually accept preorders atm.

For example this year I got

S.T.A.L.K.E.R - £15
Supreme Commander 17.99
CNC 3 - £18
TDU - 17.99

And that's just a handful.

crysis looks like a game which is really worth its money.

So true, was just saying this to willhub on MSN earlier, the game is worth its weight in gold TBFH, hell I'd most likely pay anywhere up to £50 for it. Spending such a measly amount such as £20 quid on such an awesome game as Crysis will be just dosn't seem right. But Hell I won't complain

PC games are probly cheaper due to the fact that companies can release a game that's a half assed product and just patch it later. Or the fact that they can be pirate downloaded.

The latter.

I paid £25 for Lord Of The Rings: Online but it was worth every penny, and as Tom already said, I haven't really paid more than £17.99 for most games even new. It's good to be a PC gamer.

OT: I still havn't had a reply from you over the old email
