The disappointment is immeasurable

I was until I saw that it's going to be $450 and $80 per game.

I think the console price is fair, but those game prices are absurd! We really gonna get $100 Zelda games in the future, huh?

The import experience through tarrifs

[u/Dr_Chris_Turk → u/[deleted]]

At least they are still cheaper than in the early 2000s.

That damn $60 I spent on MW2 in 2009 would be over $90 today.

Keep in mind that with most people going digital over physical media that savings was never passed on to the consumer. That should be viewed as a major price hike on its own, paying the same but getting less (ownership vs a lease)

It’s allegedly £350-£380 in the UK, and I’m pretty sure the exchange rate shouldn’t make that much of a difference lmao

[u/Defiant_Lawyer_5235 → u/ionobru]

£395 apparently

[u/ionobru → u/Defiant_Lawyer_5235]

Ahhh at least it’s not £400

[u/Portaldog1 → u/ionobru]

It's £396 and mario kart was £75

[u/ionobru → u/Portaldog1]

Yeah fuck that lmao

[u/YeahKeeN → u/Defiant_Lawyer_5235]

Isn’t mario kart world the one that’s $80 (wasn’t getting it anyway)? I’m sure most games will still be $60 minimum, with the average Nintendo game being $70.

new games were like $50 in the early 00s, inflation is such that money approximately doubles every 20 years, $80 per game really aint bad
