the topic was resolved some time ago. The price of PC games is fully justified, plus it's cheaper than most consoles, so you have nothing to winge about

Yes it does cost a very little to print games onto CD's, but thats just manufacturing. Its not the cd's we pay for, but the software thats printed on them, this software can take years to make at the cost of time and money, sometimes ranging in the millions. Developers have to make a profit to make up for the time and money thay have spent on making the software, which is why it costs in the region of £30-£40 a game.
My comment wasn't directed to you as a newbie, I was mearly answering the question you first posted. If you're worried about me winning a GAD from one of my posts, then don't. The two games I've won have been from reviews, I've never won one from a post.
Oh, cheers. One of the most impressive winners I've ever talked to is Vottanator. Hes managed to bag 12 games from Gameaday, an impressive amount. I would also suggest if you're looking to win, then it may be easier writing a review than a post. Winning with posts is extremely hard.

Oh come on. Think about what you're saying. Average console price: £200. Average console game price: £40. This makes games 1/5 of the price of the console itself. Once you've bought 5 games, you could have bought the console AGAIN.
Average PC price: £1200
Average PC game price: £25
This makes games 1/45 of the price of the PC itself. So you pay a massively smaller price proportionally for a greater quality of game.
You have absolutely nothing to complain about.

If that is true, then ditto and likewise, meaning that you too are included in exactly the same boat. But I think you'll agree that you talk a lot more drivel and crap than I do. Well actually, no, you won't agree, but everyone else will. :p
