?350 is big money for a console. BITD when us grown ups were young, that would have got you the console, a second pad and all of the launch games. A Japanese MD was cheaper than a PAL one by about ?90. Times have a changed.

Is it eff
Not in a world where mobile phones cost ?700.
When I took my phone into the Apple store the other day I was listening to a totally normal guy saying his kids were having iPads for Christmas. The cheapest one of those is ?270Last edited by EvilBoris; 29-09-2013, 21:22.Comment

A day after putting a preorder down at Shopto, gambling on someone making a cancellation so I can get one at launch. Shopto have emailed me to let me know I can now have one at launch. Cool.Comment

Exactly, in fact the gamecube was what ?129 on launch? absolute flipping bargain. For the amount of hours people use consoles for there pretty good value.Originally posted by EvilBoris View PostComment

I agree with EvilBoris, ?350 really isn't that bad. The Playstation was ?300 and the Saturn ?400 ffs, and that was 20 years ago!
GC was RRP ?150 at launch but all the shops marked it up to ?170 because they said Nintendo weren't giving them enough margin. Think excluding DVD playback really helped with that price.Comment

?350 is ludicrous. Consoles should be ?199. Why is it ?270 in a Japan including the camera and a game? The exact same thing over here costs ?450.Last edited by J0e Musashi; 30-09-2013, 09:44.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment

What about your ?700 Dreamcast and your ?10000000 PS2 J0e?
HMMMM???
Anyway, I wouldn't consider buying a console for any more than ?200. Maybe that's why I'm a late adopter?Comment

They were imports. If you have something a year before everyone else, you should expect to pay a premium.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment

I want to have the PS4 three months before you and Japan J0e. Sole reason I'm paying a premium.Comment

god joe your a misery, im super excited about the ps4 coming out, theirs some good looking games coming out Killzone drive club ect ect, and if it last as long as this generation then i will be happy for quite some time to come. one of my favorite things about the xbox was its thriving xbox live arcade scene this has really dropped off recently but it looks like sony has picked up where Microsoft left off. then theirs things like Deep Down and the Witcher 3 in the next 12 months and god knows what else its gonna be aceComment

It's an awesome launch if you like those typical western blockbuster Xmas games.
If you don't it's awful.
Deep Down is F2P which does not inspire confidence.Comment
