Jayenkai	I'm bored, Nintendo, but I'm not bloody mental! Geeze!! £39.99 for New Super Mario Bros 2, via the eShop. Compare that to the full retail package, with a box, a cartridge, and a bunch of little booklets, available from Amazon, with free delivery, for £29.97 Seriously fucked up, Nintendo. You need to fix your company before it gets any worse! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

9572AD	Have you looked at Microsoft's Games on Demand prices? -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

Jayenkai	Why, are they just as bad!? Takes the piss, really. When you've spent the past (nearly) 30 years blaming the game costs on the price of the media and retail costs, even though we all knew that was bullshit, there's simply no excuses left. To attempt to sell a game at a higher than retail cost, just for the download.. It's just plain wrong. Jay is very annoyed today!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	One thing to remember here, high priced crappy console games keeps the door open for the indie dev's.

9572AD	With few exceptions Games on Demand don't even get listed until well after they've hit bargain bins, yet the absolute minimum price they can be listed at is at the high end of the bargain bins $19.99. Far more of them list at $29.99. And anything that isn't absolute bargain bin material before it gets listed, well, the sky's the limit. And they cost even more on average outside the US. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

steve_ancell	All the time these big game developers are getting away with all this high priced bling-bling bollox the prices will get higher and higher until one day only the rich will be in a financial position to buy those games, they are slowly hanging themselves. \|edit\| That will be the time for the indie revolution. \|edit\|

9572AD	It's something to do with not being able to sell below the MSRP. Dunno why they can't just drop the MSRP on games they haven't published on disc for two years, but whatevs. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.
