Gaming $110 for South Park? WTF are you doing to my arse?

[Futurdreamz]

I really don't want to pay this much... i love South park but maybe I'll wait for a kinguin key.

What are you talking about? Only $90 for the "Gold" edition, and it includes Stick of Truth as well.

in the US maybe, but it's $110 in Canada. Whatever the hell happened to $60 games?

It is $60 if you get the regular game. Gold/Collector editions have always been more.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Erm... It's 69€ here with the Stick of Truth and I am being quite stingy decided to wait for it to go down half price before I get it.

The regular game is $80.

 

[sarkwalvein]

I suppose both of you are using different currencies. You should say CAD and USD or something, they have quite a different value.
AFAIK 1 USD = 1.25 CAD, so 60 USD are 75 CAD, without even adding taxes still.

 

[Abcdfv]

Yeah, canadough isn't worth anything when it comes to technology.

This is why I no longer buy games brand new. It's seriously ridiculous.

Well it's an Ubisoft game, so it will be $40 before the end of the year.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Yeah, apparently games in Canada start at $80 now, which is just

 

[Trash_McPhail]

Day one tax!

What annoys me is your extra £30 gets you about 3 hours of content total, Season Passes are such disappointments usually.

Yeah, it is going down in price already. The day of release it was 69. Lately I've seen it new on Amazon for 49 or so, we're almost there, I am waiting for it to get in the ~35 zone.

EDIT: Do you know if the German version also includes English audio/language?

The UK version has the option to set EU languages, so I would assume so.

Well, I guess Saturn Braunschweig wanted to cash-in from idiots on release?
Anyway, I didn't buy it. (Xbox One Version)

A relevant video about why publishers are trying to push this gold and silver edition bullshit.

So while I'm not Canadian I'm not sure why it would be that expensive to get the latest game. I'm currently seeing the normal version for £34 on Greenmangaming and that is nowhere close to the price you're talking about.

Oh, console game - I get it.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Oh, Jim. Always to the bone.

Yep. The Nintendo console tax.
