GBAtemp's Official Dog Loverâ„¢

I was outraged today to check the EBgames website and see the Wii U at $600 and Vita games at $70 >.<
BTW as the title suggests, i have changed my thing.
Just downloading the new black ops map pack, but it's 2gb...
My friend is gonna gameshare with me for the first map pack :D

That shop must definitely hate Sony.[/quote]
It's australia, which has to pay 40% more then america on games/consoles >.>
 
Wii U at $600 is atrocious even in Australia.

PSV games at $60 each? Maybe possible. (Cuz likely to be the case in Singapore as well)

:(

That's still a LONG gap in technological development. Think about it, 5 years ago the Wii was just coming out (or not even yet :))

WHAT!?
This is madness!

EB games tend to display the highest possible price before release though.
Didn't they say the 3DS was going to be $450 at first? :unsure: That could just be my bad memory though.

EDIT: Turns out it was $398..

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    luckily they didn't fall apart
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Or a good contition 40" Sony Trini that weighs 300 lbs. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:

    I have a few of those boat anchors in my basement I tried giving away but no one wanted them, So anyone close to Columbus, Ohio area that wants them, (26", 2x 19") please come get, for free.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Dont know anyone wants those smaller ones. Most are after larger sizes and the kinda top of the line models
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Motion handling and input lag on those things destroy plasmas, led, oled

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    the Sonys and stuff I don't care about
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    and used LCD are hard to sell I can imagine.. not worth much
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
