Budget Title?

Postby ati4850 » Tue, 18 Jan 2011 08:51

I pre-ordered TS4 today and I only payed 399 SEK here in Sweden ($39). This can't be good right...? :? Budget titles are often badly polished.

Sounds like a mistake. 2K has been known to underprice titles in the past, but that was always when they were competing directly with EA. Basketball and football to be specific. If you're sure that that was the full purchase price, you may have just gotten a great deal?

In the gaming world cheap doesnt mean bad. Nor does expensive means it will be a good game. Personally i think you just found a good deal :).

Here in the States the game is retailing for the full $59.99. So yeah, looks like you got a good deal.

399 SEK seems to be the retail price for most shops here in Sweden.

New games usually go for 599 kr ($59.99 inc VAT).

I'm not complaining! :)

The price(final price) in Spain 60.90 euros = $84.07, i mean to be honest is not expensive for me, but i try to spend my money rationally, and paying $84 for a videogame is not rational, that being said i'll get it, but i don't have too many games and i won't in the future.

Cheapness is definitely not a sign of whether or not a game is good or not...you're paying for the packaging and advertising anyways. Just consider yourself lucky I guess.

Today is my Pre-Order Day. I'll step in the Gameshop her in my City like Bruce Lee did in his best days with a Kung Fu move and pre-order that thing with a Scream. I'll scare them and let the Freak out. :lol:
