Sorry i posted this before but i relized it was in the wrong place.
For me with lets say a limited amount of cash there are too many games tochose from i end up buying none and get bored. You know that feeling whenyou get this great new game you are proper looking forward to it andyou have corrupted dll file or summat and you what bet your computer up and until the hard drive is in a thousand pieces with a scafolding pole.You feel cheated the shop won't take it back because you have taken of the sealing film. Then you are on the nvidia websit and stuff like that till 3 in the mornin tryin to get it work finally you get it working and has an idea that you want to induce compulive crashing. Then at about four How the **** else are you supposed to find out it doesn't.Then you are on the nvidia websit and stuff like that till 3 in the mornin tryin to get it work finally you get it working and has an idea that you want to induce compulive crashing. Then at about four you think **** it and go to bed.
I suppose just looking through the huge catalogue of games on the site how do you know which ones good there is no demo it isn't mentioned in your mag but looks good, you being the gulable sort pay your 30 quid, it means it is our fault.But please don'ttake for the stupid square eyed geeks that we are.
Why don't shops make them cheaper. Say s5 pouns for a top game and 15 for one a few months old. I heard somewhere that for every game sold the devolper and puplisher one measly pound, but Mr middleman this the retailer get maybe 34 pounds. Why can't you be nice cause i know you are and reduce prices by a fiver across the whole industry, or is it just the companies like EB are greedy *****.
I bought MOHHA soon after it cam out for 35 pounds and i have to say it was worth every penny but i walk into EB last week it is still 35 pounds ,why. It is 8 months old or so.
There are to many crap games why do companies sell them as i attempted to buy battlefield 1942 last week and i get sorry out of stock. It is one of the top games at the moment and its out of stock!!!!!!!!!!.
I am a huge rollercoaster tycoon fan i got the original for my birthday the day it came out but after so many years and the release of rct2 could they not have improved the graphics or gameplay drastically. I think it is really quite similiar from the demo and it is an attempt to cash in on the next generation of gamers, which i suppose would be me but i haven't been drawn in.It looks like a pretty shappy cover of the rct name, they should of just re-released it they could of saved development costs.
That is the end of my nonsensically rant.

A simple explanation for this, it's a game licensed by EA. EA are a greedy games company, so much so that I've still seen Black and White in the shops still selling for £30 and it's been out for ages. Too bad because I really want that game, but I'm paying full price when it should be on budget by now.
Other games developers aren't like this though, only this week I've seen commandos 2 on budget for £10 and that's only been out for a year, then you have games like Operation Flashpoint which has just released it's game of the year edition which features the full game and all of it's add-on packs selling at £25.
There are plenty of bargains on PC games, you just have to look around a bit and find which ones are the cheapest. It's one of the joys of being a PC gamer is looking for a game you really want only to discover it's much cheaper than you expected. That kind of thing is almost non-existent in console games, which only sell as low as £20.

1) You clearly have no idea how to maintain a working PC system. I suggest you delegate ownership of your PC, and be handed down a "guest" account, where you can't screw anything up. This way you won't get upset every time an error occurs - because it will happen far less frequently.
2) PC game prices are more than fair, especially when compared to console game prices, which come in at £10-£15 higher per game. I've never paid more than £30 for a PC game, and the majority of games I have bought have come in at under £25. I'm sure you would love to brand high street stores greedy, but when you have consider bills like shipping of units, storage costs, shelving costs, letting costs, staff costs, customer service costs and many many more, you will feel justified in pricing PC games so they can at least cover your overheads.

I noticed Never Winter Nights in Game this week, £39.99, great game but I'm sure price should have come down by now.
