Do online games like mmrpgs count because i played final fantasy xi all last year and have spent over 160 paying for the monthly subscription.

was just thinking the same.
€25ish for WoW, followed by €13 every month since July...:(

Think I paid €60 for Metroid Prime 2 in gamestop on the launch date, I've learnt my lesson now and go to Smyths for launch day games (they're usually €5-€10 cheaper before you even use the loyalty card)

I say just the gamecube games or the wii games. 60 euro. No bigy. And who the hell would buy a game for 150 Unless it was limited edition or somethin... but still, its a bit expensive

£85 for virtua racing on the megadrive. Least I was the only one in school to have it so I could lie and say it was amazing.

It was amazing, still a great game to play and a much better converison than the saturn game.

probably house of the dead on the dreamcast, cause i had to buy a lightgun with it. Ill always remember that game for having hands down, the WORST voice acting ive ever heard. It was so bad it made Resident evil 1 on the ps1 look like shakespeare.

Dunno bout me but one of the lads in work bought that Steel Battalion thing. The massive controller and whatnot. I'd say that cost a pretty penny!

A bit off topic but I actually won one of those off RTE and sold it on boards .It was ****e to be honest.:D

Street Fighter II Turbo-Metal Shiny Box Edition 82 punts :eek:

This was back in the day whe 82 punts meant something too! And people moan about the price of XBOX360 games

That box was cool, with the little street fighter II turbo badge aswell!! Paid around £90 for it (well, my parents did!!) when it came out.

Wasnt the metal box a limited edition?? How many were released??

You could always get Steel Beasts for $125 (Mil-grade simulator available to public), and the control handles from AFVSim, for about $1,200.

Hey Balfa,


Long time no see buddy, how're you doing over there? My most expensive game was Street Fighter II - Special Championship Edition for the Mega Drive - IR£63, I think. It was well worth it though. I spent so many hours playing that game and managed to complete it using all the characters on the highest difficulty rating. It took 6 hours solid play when using Dhalsim to do it!

I paid about 80ish for the collectors edition of Oblivion for the 360 in HMV. Twas a bit expensive tho...

I've never spent more than €45 on a game - apart from the total amount I've spent on World of Warcraft subscriptions. /huggles GAME staff discount

Dooom

Twas Steel Battalion for me, think it was about €150 or so.
The game wasn't even all that great tbh, but the controller was incredibly fun. I loved the little plastic cover on the eject button too.
Starting to regret selling it...

kensutz

^^ Steel battalion too, the 2 versions

< 90

MS Flightsim 2004, for just a tad over €60 iirc.
Think it's the only game I've sprung over €60 for... but then again, if you count all the games I payed ~45 punt for... mmmeh.
Now days the highest I'll go is €40 and only if I've been looking forward to it.

Quake Special edition might have been around fifty quid in old money but I generally refuse to pay over 60 euro for any game.

Oh and I don't think any game that comes with hardware qualifies. So not Guitar Hero.

> 150 !!

Most expensive game I ever bought was, funnily enough 2nd hand albeit un-used. I'm factoring in the exchange rate of the british pound vs. the euro as well.

StarWars Galaxies: Collectors edition - think I paid about £90. Came with a load of stuff out of the box and extra in-game content that only those with collectors edition serial numbers could use (but everyone could see)

I paid €70 for a second-hand copy of Ico on eBay, which Sony reissued six months later. Still, at least I have my "art cards", cheap as chips at €40!

I found that (with the art cards) for €10 in gamestop in waterford! Couldn't believe it!
