If you guys paid £40 you bought it at the wrong place. Tesco had/has it on sale from Release day at £30. I get all my games at Tesco now simply because Game/Gamestation are taking the piss on prices and on trade-ins.

I was in Gamestation yesterday picking up an MS racing wheel (another story) and I spotted that they wanted £50 for the new Marvel game, £45 for DiRT2, and had a shelf space with pre-order markers for Forza 3 price set to £50.

Now thats seriously taking the piss. And IIRC it might actually be illegal for them, because back in the 90's the EU passed a law stating that no computer game could charge above a pre-set maximum price and it could ONLY charge the max if the game contained new technology. Hence why some games made on pre-made engines (Unreal Engine etc) are cheaper to buy new.

Could one of you English fellows please explain what the phrase "taking the piss" actually means? I've heard it used in several different contexts here and in books and I'm confused. Just curious is all.

Its along the lines of "You are making fun of me".

I'm definitely going to buy it. I don't really get the hostility.

The developers spend a certain amount of time and money making a game. You choose to either buy it or not. If you buy it, you're buying exactly the game that they made and are selling you at that time, not everything that they may make for it in the future, or everything that you believe should have been in the game to start with.

Done a few missions so far. Seems same as the others. Ground attack in one of them, then defending your bombers against those rocket powered flying triangles the Germans had. Having poor luck with that one, they are rather faaaaaast Been listening to the other poor pilots getting riddled via my radio for nearly 30 minutes!
