£49.99, seems like they've taken an increase. That comes out to a little over $76 USD which is absurdity, but for all you Britosh people, how does this effect you? Especially considering the US only has to pay $59.99, and X360 game prices were around £40 from what I see.

What makes them think they can charge that much?
I've seen nothing that indicates their prices offer any value to anyone but them.

I take it I was right and that is a high price for all of you in the UK and surrounding areas

Inflated development costs/they like money.

gamestop here have set their price for x1 games and ps4 at around 65 euro, which is about 9 million usd.

I don't know about the UK as I'm not there, but the prices were about £5 less than that this gen.

Inflated development costs/they like money.

nothing has inflated.
They've come to terms with HD by now surely, there's no excuse for higher prices now, except that they want more money for a half-complete game, then sell you the rest as DLC.

I have a hard time paying £40 for a game. The only game I ever payed for at £50 was the Xenoblade controller bundle. The prices games are at the moment are seriously putting me off buying games I would usually buy. I may just stick to buying 3DS games right now as their about £32.

Online retail stores typically sell below MSRP so they should be cheaper then that. Both consoles are region free if it works out cheaper ill just import my games.

Guess I will be waiting for pre owned games then. A game is simply not worth forty or fifty quid to me.

It's worse in Australia. We pay about $108 (about the same in American dollars) for a brand new game on the Wii/360/PS3.

 

Who knows how much the next gen games will cost.
