llewdebkram Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 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. 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 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!'

Nice, did they jump you when you came through the door?

rokhed00 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 £30 - $53£40 - $70 £50 - $88 £60 - $106 £100 - $176 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 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Anything up to £40 is acceptible. Any more then I'll have to think twice about buying games.
Sarka Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I'd pay £40 for RPG's, Black and White type games and Zelda but anything else £30.
djamb3 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 revo games will be cheaper than the others (like what they did with DS). they said that long ago...
jakeee Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 £0-35 would be a great price for a game but I would buy games even if they were £40
