Mass Effect 3 is going to be $60 too. Combine that with $30-40 in DLC and you are looking at up to $100 USD for the latest Bioware games. I'll wait on the all-inclusive ultimate editions on sale. And if that doesn't happen, I may not buy it at all. I posted a rant on another forum... Well, if it's anything like the Dragon Age 2 launch... it'll be $60, you will pay extra for release day DLC if you want it on Steam, and you'll have to pre-order months beforehand to get the release day DLC. And if it's anything like Mass Effect 1-2, there will be plot threads started, rehashed, but that only get resolved in paid DLC (Shadow Broker; or not resolved in Witch Hunt's case). |

Yup, I was looking forward to Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 etc... but if prices are going up, I won't be buying them on release day. Looks like my game purchasing will be focussed purely on the times Steam is doing a sale... ;) Although Witcher 2 and Dawn of War 2: Retribution I'll probably bite on shortly after their release. Or maybe not. Haven't decided. As for Blizzard... chances of me buying Diablo 3 at more than a tenner is slim to nil. I guess I'll be waiting for the 'Ultimate Editions'... |

Agree with what was said already. Not paying. And will wait. |

I'll prophesy my reaction: meh. |

Usually PC games in the UK are around £30 or less, which is about 47 USD according to google, which I don't mind paying. Although I do have Dragon Age on Pre-order for just under $40 atm :mrgreen: |

Highstreet prices are now £35-40 for PC games. We were spoiled for a few years with Amazon and Play getting really good at having low prices, that even they've been going up in recent years. ... And I'm sure I got Warcraft 3 in a kind of 'best of' line for a tenner when it was four years old. I had to, as I let a friend borrow my copy of Warcraft 3, and he "lost" it - he still had the case, but the manual (and therefore CD Key) and disc were AWOL. Got Starcraft the same way IIRC. |

I'd say most games are still obtainable for £30, if not cheaper. Although PC games generally do have a lack of sales. And pretty much all the PC sections in retail have dissappeared near me. I mean a granger games store just opened near me. It has 8 PC games. 8! Thats total, not titles. |

I don't really care. If it's a game that I absolutely want to play, then I'm going to buy it whether it's $40, $50, or $60 (or even more). If it's not that important of a game and I can wait to play it, then I'll just wait until it's on sale or something. |

Oh don't you worry about $60 games. Out here those games are €60. Which at the current rates translates to $81.69. €50 ($68) has been normal for years until recently. |
