Comment That assumes British game prices make any sense... (Score 1) 24
Having lived in England for six months, I am acutely aware that game prices are actually not direct exchanges of American prices. A typical new GC/PS2/XBox game costs £39.99 in stores and £29.99 on Amazon.co.uk (£30=$53.81). A GC by itself goes for £74.99 on Amazon. On that account, £89.99 is a bargain.
Other examples of how ridiculously pricey British games are: a new GBA game goes for £29.99 (£22.49 on Amazon), a GBA SP goes for £69.99 (again, slightly cheaper on Amazon). The dollar has declined a bit in the past year, so that accounts for some of the expensiveness as well.
