Will wait for $15 flash sale in 2-3 years.
You get good discounts after a few months, no need to wait years. They milk the early adopters, just be patient. I got DOOM Eternal 50% off a month ago.

They throw in a ‘Remastered’ version of Spiderman ps4 with the MM game.What is "Marvel’s Spider-Man: Mile Morales Ultimate Edition" ?

Those old ROM chips had a ballpark cost to make of $15. A game pressed to a BR disc is maybe 50 cents. MS or Sony letting you download a copy to your system probably costs them 10 cents of corporate bandwidth and server maintenance fees.I mean...look at the cost relative to the consoles too. Take into account inflation. It's crazy that games have been $60 still despite inflation and also having to have a much bigger cost to produce them
Shadow of the Collosus remaster was 39.99$. Sony is getting really gready with their remasters. It was a sweet price for everyone to jump into even for non fans.£70 for demon‘s souls remaster? Wtf?
REMAKE!!!!!Shadow of the Collosus remaster was 39.99$. Sony is getting really gready with their remasters. It was a sweet price for everyone to jump into even for non fans.
What's the min wage in Australia though?Damn those prices are insane. 80€ for a game is like 130$ Australian Dollars for a Video Game
What's the min wage in Australia though?
Okay that's a little ridiculous.
Disc gamers to subsidize Sony losing money on digital consoles.WTF.
I would be livid if that ends up being the case, that's a bitch slap in the face of all PS fans. A 17 Euro price difference is mind blowing.
Does Sony want to be DoA in Europe.
Arrogant Sony is back!
My post was meant to make fun of the ridiculous EU pricing for games which is absolutely beyond reasonable.
I just picked Australia randomly
Last time I looked into it, Australia had about twice the min wage as the US so bringing up that the price is double is really only for shock value.
What the...
I thought it was Sony first party, but I noticed COD: Cold War was listed at $69.99, so I'm going to take it most companies will want to match. I couldn't justify almost $80 for a digital download game. Or this is the solution to completing neutralizing the backlog.I'm sorry what? this has to be an error surely... if this is accurate then I wonder if the reason for it is either Sony pressuring 3rd parties to match their own pricing or 3rd parties seeing the opportunity to simply up the price because Sony does so as well.
With how lucrative season passes, micro-transactions, loot boxes, and Battle Passes are they aren't going anywhere. Probably will get worse. I'm right with there with you though.I'm ok with paying these prices if it means we don't need to be bombarded with micro transactions. That extra price should be enough without the devs having to try fuck us over with extra bullshit.

In the UK it seems that ubisoft games are between £5-£10 more expensive for ps5 compared with xbsex
wtf? And how/why some people are defending price increases by big corporate companies that are profitable?
I fear you are 100% correct.Microtransactions, season passes, cutting core content to sell it to customers as separate content or as part of a "deluxe" edition are only going to get worse. Far worse. This price increase only represents an increase in the base price of a game - the actual price for anything but the gimped base version will continue to be above (and will rise far above) the base entry cost.

Yeah about that...I'm ok with paying these prices if it means we don't need to be bombarded with micro transactions. That extra price should be enough without the devs having to try fuck us over with extra bullshit.
I am gonna buy used hardware, but the game prices are gonna make me a little more selective I gotta say. Or I may not jump in at all for a couple years. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that for a while and it makes a lot of sense. You get hardware that is usually more reliable, at a cheaper price and by then there’s a bunch of games to play that can be had on the cheap. I’ve still got like 30 games to play from the current generation, so I probably won’t even miss a beat if that’s the way I go. This industry fucks early adopters so hard. Just not sure I care enough about this stuff to pay what they’re asking anymore.Just saw Demon's Souls at 75€ here in Belgium.
PS5 can wait, I have enough backlog for my PS4 to entertain myself until a cheaper hardware revision of the PS5 comes out.
Not wasting money on PS+ either.

it's 80 EUROS in europe vs 69 DOLLARS in usa. This is regional pricing madness and people have right to be upsetJesus fucking christ.
Complaining that a game costs 69$ instead of 59$
Bloody fucking hell, the world is ending.
You know how much a mint condition Vagrant Story goes for on ebay?
