Let's see... Console games cost 60 Euros, PC games 45. Why do I think that graphical complexity isn't part of the pricing equation?
Sure ... but your idea of a 'premium' title = one which requires lots of licenses to pay (ie : crappy movie-game with all the original characters voices, etc)"We believe that premium titles command premium pricing," ...
I wonder what that guy is smoking, because the entire 360 line-up is many things but 'deep, rich and complex' are three words that don't even come near describing the content/experience. 'shallow, poor and simple' would be more like it."These are deep, rich, complex games."
OICW said:Here we already pay $100-110 Australian, or roughly $60-70 US for most new games, both PC and console. I'd hate to be whacked with even more price hikes.
Fordy said:I was wanting to buy COD 2 but at £34.99 here in the UK, I'll give it a miss till the price drops below £30. Not paying that kinda money for a game that'll probably be done in a couple of days.
How exactly does updating the player rosters and adding more blades of grass to the field, qualify your game as a "premium title" for which I must dutifully shell out $60 per year per sport?hal said:"We believe that premium titles command premium pricing," said EA spokesperson Tammy Schachter when asked why EA's first-run 360 titles were selling for $10 more than the company's first-run titles for Xbox, PS2 and GameCube. "These are deep, rich, complex games."
To be fair, I don't think Epic has much control over the overhead MS is making on their game. Keep in mind that Epic basically gave away UT2004 (plus ECE) for free to people who owned UT2003.Also, Cliffy needs to talk to Epic's biz side some more: GoW is preselling at $59.99 according to EBGames

And while we are at play.com, hit the pc games section and sniff out UT2007 pre-orders; £17.99!
I noticed even EA's games are more expensive on play.com.
Selerox said:Play.com is pretty much the only place I get games from, althought tbh I don't buy many games anymore. I got burned with a few pretty dodgy titles recently, so I'm cutting down to games I know will be worth it, which isn't a lot these days tbfh, especially when it comes to FPS games. There's virtually nothing worth waiting for out there outside of UT4.
