How much would you pay

[mario114]

There is allready a simular thread about this, so i though i would stick up a poll so we can see people how much people would pay.

[Monopolyman]

£0-40, same as this gen, and last gen. Shouldn't be any differant because Nintendo are trying something differant.

[david.dakota]

Hopefully, Nintendo will keep the cost to the end user quite cheap. No dount with PS3 using Blu-Ray, disks will be VER expensive and perhaps a put off for consumers.

If Nintendo can get a range of prices, from £25-40 it'll be in their best interests.

[Hudsoo]

£0-30.....well i suppose i would extend my budget but the less content there is to a game, the less time i would most likely play it

[Pyxis]

Yeah, the more content, the higher the price tag... I wouldnt spend more than £35 on a new game.

[masaki86]

fact is, I remember paying £70 for Turok on launch. People have become to accustomed to cheap games, however, the vast amount of long time gamers are used to extortianate prices.

[harribo]

I would like them to just stay the same price they currently are. I really wouldnt be able to buy the a reasonable amount if they are more as I can barely afford games now and get new ones by trading others I dont play on anymore.

[GoonFace]

The most I will pay is £40. The planned £50 for next gen games is way too high and I doubt it will last. If I remember correctly, when XBox and Gamecube came out the price for a game was £45, but very few retailers sold it at this price. Most sold games for £40 so gamers would not be put off. Eventually, £40 became the accepted price for an XBox or Gamecube.

[McMad]

I'll pay from £0-£50 if Square make a bloody remake of Final Fantasy 7.

[kav82]

It depends on the game, it really does!

If it's good enough, I'd pay up to £50

[RATM_4_EVA]

Im from the U.S. sooo.... yeah!

[blumeanie.]

Masaki86 strikes a chord , long time gamers really are accustomed to paying extortionate prices .Developers of QUALITY games know hardcore gamers such as ourselves would pay over the odds for their titles .If nintendo asked for £70 for twilight princess i know most of us guys would pay it rather than wait for second hands eh!, maybe we should blame ourselves because we are the ones who pay it.Monopolyman also says something important ,sony & microsoft are offering more or less the same type of game as this current generation has already (it only looks better) WOW. Meanwhile , nintendo are offering a totaly new way to play them and laying down the gaunlet for developers to be more creative at the same time, they are constantly evolving the games industry to keep it fresh and i think it is worth paying them (sensible prices) to keep it that way. by the way "harribo" i was talking with god the other day and i asked him what team he supports . He grabbed me by the collar ,looked into my eyes and said " THE CELTIC , THE MIGHTY GLASGOW CELTIC".

[Pestneb]

maybe there should be a "I won't be buying next gen software" option?

[monkeyDluffy]

I remember reading an article(can't rememeber where) about how microsoft and sony are just trying to sell consoles and games to the hardcore fan base, because its easy, reliable money, make a game you know most hardcore fans like and the $$$$ come rolling in any time you like. We're seeing this happening with the next generation, the consoles and games are being priced to pray on this hardcore gaming money pot, that they know will pay whatever they want them too, to get hold of certain game titles. The problem with this is at a point this hardcore sector is gonna get board of the same old shit that looks nicer (how many bows can you put on a turd before people realise its just shit?) and then their in trouble, sorry about the rant but this is the point, I think nintendo realise this and are going in the right direction, but they need to price the games to make more people think, "well it's cheap enough might as well give it a try" which is what they need and want with rev and that is not gonna happen if the price goes over £40!
Just my point of view.

[YenRug]

Ahhhhh, I remember the days with my trusty rubber keyboarded ZX Spectrum, buying Codemaster games for under £5 and enjoying the brilliant little games that Mastertronic sold for £1.99. Top of the range games went for about £10 with the really special ones, usually with loads of stuff thrown in, would be about £15.

[system_error]

I guess I take 0-40 but please even though many people here are from an island with strange currency and some stuff like feet, inches, etc. it clearly says Revolution Europe.

So use that € next time ;)

[DCK]

Depends on the game really. For Zelda, I'd pay £60 easily, but £40 for Mario Party is way too expensive. I'm hoping Nintendo'll keep prices the same next-gen.

[demonmike04]

Upto fifty, and only 60 if it was an amazing game.
I realy doubt a common game on revolution will be over 50 pound, atleast 40 at cheapest.

Top of the range games went for about £10 with the really special ones, usually with loads of stuff thrown in, would be about £15.Indeed, those were the days my friend. I got many a C64 game from John Menzies for £1.99. (After moaning to my Mum about it for half an hour beforehand or course!) :heh: Memories...

As far as the future is concerned, well I don't think Revolution buyers will have much to worry about in terms of high game prices. Nintendo have made it very clear that development costs will be low on Revolution, therefore I think prices are all but guaranteed to remain the same, if not drop a little.

360 and PS3 games though, that's a different story altogether.
$$$! :wink:

[1upking]

I rarely pay more than 30 notes for a game. Only games I have paid full price for this generation are Resi 4 and all the Pro Evo's. All other games I pick up in the sale or trade ins

[Pancake]

I'd pay up to £100 for a Zelda but i'd be very pissed off.

[Android18a]

It really would depend on the game. For a top-notch arcade racer or RPG, I'd be willing to pay £40, but outside of those anything more than £30 is pushing it.

[mario114]

Theres 4 hard core gamers who would pay 100 pounds, go them, but as i am a student my top hits some were around 30-40

[Stocka]

I'd pay £200 for Skies of Arcadia 2

[Marshmellow]

could somebody translate the prices for me i dont know conversions of money to well lol convert it to $ thanx

[BeerMonkey]

no way im paying more then £40 for a game...had probs years ago paying £50 for n64 games and that required alot of saving

[RedShell]

£40 - $70
£50 - $88
£60 - $106

I remember this too but if you go on what they say that the rough rule is money doubles every 10 years:

£10 in early 80s = £40 now

I also remember John Menzies, I used to get all my games for 99p as this was before any bar codes or price scanning :indeed:
I used to change the £9.99 price tags with the 99p price tags, until one day I went in to be greated with a huge sign saying 'TO THE PERSON WHO IS CHANGING THE PRICES ON THE GAMES, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE!' :grin:

That's excahge rates though.
Actual US game prices will not equate to the UKs prices, not by means of any known exchange rate anyway.

[xanikseo]

Anything up to £40 is acceptible. Any more then I'll have to think twice about buying games.

[Sarka]

I'd pay £40 for RPG's, Black and White type games and Zelda but anything else £30.

[djamb3]

revo games will be cheaper than the others (like what they did with DS). they said that long ago...

[jakeee]

£0-35 would be a great price for a game but I would buy games even if they were £40
