Gaming This is the reason why people buy flashcarts

[Twiggy12]

here in aus even horrible....crapy games are $40 and the new games are about $65 AU

THATS WHY PEOPLE BUY FLASHCARTS AND THATS WHY PEOPLE PIRATE...(

 

[ball2012003]

actually i bought a flashcart to get free games

No shit sherlock.

 

[ComplicatioN]

$40.... $30 was high to me

 

[MicShadow]

Australian prices are plain robbery. Like 120 bucks for CoD 5

 

[Jeff88]

There is no way to justify doing piracy.

 

[ShAdOwFuRi]

I'm pretty sure CoD 5 is $69 at EB games just as most new DS releases are.

 

[Goshogun1]

I honestly have no problem paying extra for a game like DQ IV. Translating a game like that must have taken a long time. And I am assuming I will get like 50+ hours out of it, so it works out. This price shouldn't drive someone to piracy IMO.

 

[zogenie]

if you cant afford then dont play... thats what i was told.

 

[mrgone]

i payed 40€ for chrono trigger yesterday, thats at least 50$ so shut your complaing hole

also, in times like this, i do not expect the publishers to lower game prices.
the money is made with games. the consoles do not make money

 

[Evilmaster1985]

And thats not the only reason.
No way could you take 150+ official NDS games with you, with a flashcart however this is no problem.

I do not think people who own flashcarts already would buy games if they got cheaper.
It woud just be nice for the people who buy everything original, and perhaps for Nintendo because they can sell more games to these people then.
As the lower the price the easier it is to buy something and to buy more and more often.

The only reason I visit game stores (and only if Im close to it and bored) the last 10 years its just to see if anything new is out.
Or to lol at the prices

Tho I must say new games smell nice

Greetz, Vistabuser.

$40 is NOTHING. Games cost up to 2x more in other countries...

 

[elixirdream]

regardless is 40 pound, 40 USD and 65 AUD
i still consider that is cheap for you guys

if you guys ever compare on how much we make and cost of living in Malaysia.....
i am talking about a dollar to dollar manner
not currency exchange

i was talking to vistabuser...
it will roughly cost 33 cans of coke to get a CT
but for me it would be 142 cans of coke to get a CT
however, i don't see this as a reason for pirate, if you like it just get original
don't have the cash flow just play a few games lesser

 

[jalaneme]

not everyone is feeling the crisis, i still make good money im still able to survive 40$ is nothing, people should have been smart with what they earn

try living on $70 a week and then say if $40 is nothing.

 

[Shadz]

$40 USD is equal to how much AUD...?

 

[lcleong]

yeah, i agree with jalaneme..
some people are damn fucking rich i know... and dunno how to use all their money in good way..

 

[papyrus]

any way u look at it flashcart > original carts. Hehehe. and also You can play import games like jump and daigasso.

 

[Islay]

LOL 40 dollars is nutting try 50-60 euro, 1 euro is worth 90c-to one pound

Do the maths were paying like 80 dollars for a new game in ireland.

 

[Diosoth]

If I didn't pirate, I'd buy them used. When I buy used, the only ones that profit are used game stores, which I'm not a particular fan of(when they start paying 50% of their trade-in value and STOP ACCEPTING SPORTS TITLES, then I'll start to like them more).

 

[agony]

Well, if the game is cheaper, flashcart or not, I will buy. Or perhaps I will still buy. But second-hand.
