I think its funny how Olivier answered the same questions at the start over and over,
but as soon as the people come that know even £17 is a rip off to $20 Oliver is know where to be seen…..
Why?
Because Olivier knows its not fair tbh and has no reason for it.

ill have to look for another game.

It’s incredible how good people are at reading… The same question asked 10 times after it’s already been answered.

Trine looks cool, but I’ll probably get it on Steam. Only time will tell.

I’ll give you £11.99 tops? Or I shall buy the PC version for £14.99 and try the demo first. Deal?

£16.99!!

Who the hell is in charge of pricing these games? Do you know we can buy a full Blu-Ray game for that. Red Faction: Guerilla is £17.99 right now. Platinum titles are under £15. Jesus Christ.

Higher price, fewer people buy it. Lower price a lot more people buy it.

The PSP Go is going to be a complete failure for the same reason.

The game is roughly 4-5 hour’s in length, £12(The correct rate) is a little much for that but i would have been ok with it, charging even more though is just taking the [DELETED]. Doubt anyone will bother buying it now lol, myself included.

Unless i get it off the US store like last time hehe.

@130

I’m certain the reply would be along the lines of:

“Yes, we really are overcharging you for our game, well spotted!”

Well, that or some meaningless blather and lies about taxes etc. to try and make it seem like they’ve done the best they can with the price.

I won’t be buying the game now, I was so looking forward to it as well.

Sorry, but the pricing on this game is a complete ripoff. No manual to produce, no Discs to burn and no packaging to make so no shipping of products across the ocean. Even then, most could be produced in Europe anyway and wouldn’t need to travel across the pond.

£16.99 for a digital download with no demo coming to PSN either, stuff that.

Devs, if you actually want to sell the game, keep in line with pricing across the board and not ripping off the Europeans as usual. Yes, I know there is VAT to add on, but when you keep bumping it up even more, that is what takes the [DELETED].

No Physical product doesn’t deserve what us Europeans are being shafted with yet again. Over Priced games with no transport costs what so ever.

And to finish off, you even expect people to drop £16.99 when they can’t even play a demo. Sorry, but I don’t just drop money when I want to buy a car, I test drive it first.

By the way, i guess you’ve missing (or missed) some math/economy classes:

$19.99 =/= €19.99 or £16.99

$19.99 = €14.35 and £12.33

Live rates at 2009.07.11 16:09:54 UTC
19.99 USD = 14.3448 EUR
United States Dollars Euro
1 USD = 0.717600 EUR 1 EUR = 1.39353 U

Live rates at 2009.07.11 16:10:54 UTC
19.99 USD = 12.3278 GBP
United States Dollars United Kingdom Pounds
1 USD = 0.616700 GBP 1 GBP = 1.62153 USD

Where’s the freedom of speech?

looks realy nice. For me it lokks like a mix between LBP and Prince of Persia (the old one) with some fantasy.
Two questions: Does the music form the trailer appear in the game? (It is so good)
Why always Psn? I like all the classic game boxes. I also like to buy the games in a store an read the manual while I’m driving home (with the bus)
Not the plasic ones – I’m the good cardboard boxes like the limited Shadow of the Collosus.

HAHAHAHA *evil laugh*

I just saw the first comment page and still laughin’ like hell, NO DEMO!?

This is hilarius!

Just a reminder for you guys at scee or sony or whatever, don’t really care, wipEout HD was first released at €17,99, a FULL HD 1080p native running at 60fps and its now €14,99. You really think that this [DELETED] game worth more than wipeout hd?

Get real real guys and stop with this greed of yours its making me sick alreay.

Of course there’s always people buying, unfortunatly, but this game don’t even worth more than €10.

Oh and another thing, since the game will be available for PC too, what do you think people will choose? Hmmm, let me see what the options are:

- ps3 > psn > €19,99
- pc > free (that’s right, people always get things for free on pc)

I’ll stick with the second, and you!?

£16.99 and no demo? I’ll give it a miss.

The price is way too high for a psn game and $20 equals £12 by current rates, so why are we expected to pay proportionally more money in the EU?

Nice to see a revision in the price but still $19.99 doesn’t equal £16.99 – what exactly is different between the US and UK markets that warrants extra cost on a digital download?

Can’t be shipping, can’t be that production costs are cheaper in the US, its digital! Are there additional fees involved with releasing to the UK/EU PSN stores?

Seems odd that other recent releases can match the exchange rates (give or take a little bit to make it to a nice £n.99 for example).

Reduce the price further and release a demo – this game looks really great but I want to try before I buy. Tried the BF1943 demo and an hour later bought the game!

I have been looking forward to this game for ages, but I really cant afford that much money for a PSN Game

By: DANTE234

Your right, that price is too much, I won’t be getting it, I wait for something else to come out

Well i won’t be buying this i think it’s a disgusting price showing pure greed, i’ll be saving my money for other games that deserve that amount of money
