Xenoblade and Last Story have been sitting on store shelves for months here in Belgium. I do want these games, but I hate that stores don't seem to price them down like they do with a lot of other games. By now, the damn €49.99 or €45.99 stickers are so yellowed, because no one buys them. Can't they just slice the price in half? I'd buy these in a second at €20 each.
Thats basically my problem with games in general. I'd buy all my modern games brand new if they cost $25-$30. $50-$70 is just too much for me and I dont want to settle and just choose a small number of games so I wait until the price is low enough that I can buy all the games I'm interested in.
Yeah, pretty much. I rarely buy games new. Wii games are usually €49.99 here when they are new and PS3/360 games €60-70. Annoyingly, even though the Wii games have a lower initial price, they don't nearly get priced down as much as PS3/360 games do. I don't know why. It must be the "magic Nintendo" effect or something. And even the very old ones don't get priced down, especially when they have the word Mario or Zelda in the title. €39.99 for Mario Party 8? What a bargain!
I could literally go into stores today and find 2+ year old Wii games (even bad ones) at prices like that.
Meanwhile, I just bought Enslaved: Odyssey to the West for €9.99 used and it's a newer game (and better game) than a lot of those Wii games that never get priced down.
Yeah the Nintendo developed games never drop over here either. The rest of the Wii library can be had for fairly cheap a few months after the game launches though.
Enjoy Enslaved. I picked it up for $10 also and enjoyed getting the platinum on it.
