Computer Game Prices


Recommended Posts

Just a few other things, is it me or is £22.50 for a brand new computer game great value? I remember when a brand new Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the U.S.) game would cost me about £35, same with Saturn. Even over the last few years pc games have been £35+.

Also don't you hate it on Amazon when people review a game before it is even released? Just looking at Hitman Contracts page and a guy has written:

The long awaited "Hitman: Contracts" will be even more dark and mysterious than the original game but will still have an amazingly detailed and possibly slightly believable storyline.

As a fan of the Hitman 2 I can not wait for this game to come out. There are even more interesting weapons include 30 firearms and an assorment of other things including a pillow which you can suffocate people with.

This game, like Hitman 2, offers the player the chance to do the mission in serveral different ways. Its not like a normal Shoot-Em-Up where you run in a straight line firing randomly at anything you see - it is a stealth 3rd person where you calculate your every move and try your best to only kill your intented target without causing too much collateral damage on the way.

Certainly a must buy for any Hitman or Splinter Cell type 3rd person stealth game!

Which clearly proves he can read a press release, but it doesn't tell us anything else. What really bugs me is that 10 people out 21 have found that review helpful. :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

Play is great for a lot of things, but it's not wise to rule out any source altogether. Ideally, the best solution is to shop around; I often notice that Play's stocks are limited and so obviously if I want an item quickly, I'll look elsewhere. Similarly, if I'm going to buy a book from Amazon around the same time as I'm looking to get a game/CD/DVD/whatever, then maybe it's more convenient to get one shipment from Amazon with everything.

Not to mention that shipping on Amazon might as well be free, considering that even the free option (i.e. not next day delivery) arrives within two days max. (for me, at least).

But I'm sure you all knew that, anyway.

By the looks of it, Play.com is for Europe only? :unsure:

I use EBGames to preorder stuff, Best Buy for stuff that has been released recently, and Amazon for older/great priced stuff.
