What i'm shocked to see is the price of PS2 games in Britain, they are over £30 and over for every game i see.
It's strange as i expected DVD's to cost cheaper than Nintendo's cartridges. I ever wonder how much it would be over here without all the VAT and taxes they have to pay to get it shipped over here.
I'm curious how do they pick out prices of the games they decide to bring over here, you see n64 for over £40 in a normal retail shop and then you see it online for £30.
I think the way they put a price tag on games is the way the retailers and online stores think about the overall price recommended for the game, sometimes stores disagree with the price and they really drop the price to make it an attractive price for people to really want to splash the money for it.
The way they are able to pick out a price for themselves i sometimes think are they allowed to do that. Because if the retailers pick them out freely the company will make less money and looking at the state of gaming they will go bankrupt but what would be nice is a fair price tag on games which i can afford more frequently and with developers using more CD's and DVD's to put data into it should be much more cheaper than it is supposed to do.
I know how cheap PC games are, but with a pirate market and the price PC games are sold the developers are actually losing money more than earning it and with poor game sales will they bother making games for the PC?
Yes PC's are getting more advanced in displaying good graphics but they are more unreliable than consoles.

Nice Post...
I do think however that despite the cheap prices of PC's games they don't lose money, they only make as much money as they were ever going to make and in a way the piracy market is a bonus, not a big one as they would rather sell the game as a whole, but!!! They do spread the word of their games, more people are playing them and eventually they won't be able to copy them and PC's game sales will se an increase, at least that is what I think but great post anyway, good discussion topic!
