But finally it appeared last night (at midnight...wtf SCEE?) and I was expecting it to come in around the same price tag (£3.50 or so). But no, it's on at the monstrous price of £8. Now I just ran that through a currency converter, and despite the crappy GBP at the moment, that still converts to $12.75. I nearly didn't buy it, but I still want to support the game, so I did. Despite already having unlocked the TA152, and it having no extra trophies.
That is outrageous IMO. It's not even like they had to load it onto a ship and sail it across the Atlantic.
But I still don't feel ripped off as a console owner. I do, however, feel ripped off as an Englishman relative to America.
How the f*ck do the publishers justify this?
EDIT: P.S. LOL @ AncientSeraph's last post  |
If its any consolation, it still costed more for American PS3 owners than it did for Xbox owners from what I've been hearing. I only ever heard that it was $5 or its equivalent on the Xbox, but when I go onto the PSN, its $9.99. Seemed a bit pricey, but hey, I really want to try and support this game, and $10 isn't too much to ask.
Been having great fun with the Jug though. That thing is good at making things explode ^^ Or tear to pieces if you hit them with the fifty cals.
Can't say that I've been particularly happy with how the publishers have handled this game's release, but it has been a lot of fun, and I definately don't regret buying it. I haven't played a good air combat game in ages, and its nice to get back into the genre after so long. Especially with HAWKS sucking (well, I wasn't fond of it anyway), and the Ace Combat series jumping ship to the Xbox (Hey, it was fun for how over the top it got at times. Who doesnt enjoy fighting a giant, UAV spewing doom-ship....thing. lol).
Its especially nice to get back to WWII era air combat. Its just so much more satisfying to rip your enemy to shreds with machineguns and cannons. Pushing a button to launch a sidewinder just isn't as fun. Rockets are always fun too, and it always puts a smile on my face when I see a big, slow bomber explode when you peg them with one. ILs too. Lets see your fancy, bullet-absorbing armor take a rocket hit. lol
