mario114 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monopolyman Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 £0-40, same as this gen, and last gen. Shouldn't be any differant because Nintendo are trying something differant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 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 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 £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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyxis Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yeah, the more content, the higher the price tag... I wouldnt spend more than £35 on a new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masaki86 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harribo Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 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 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMad Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'll pay from £0-£50 if Square make a bloody remake of Final Fantasy 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 It depends on the game, it really does! If it's good enough, I'd pay up to £50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blumeanie. Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 maybe there should be a "I won't be buying next gen software" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyDluffy Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YenRug Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!) 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upking Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 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.

Pancake Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'd pay up to £100 for a Zelda but i'd be very pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android18a Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
