that's the season pass, not the game?

The season pass is the game. It is all of the episodes. Incidentally it is €9.99 on the PSN currently.

Great price, it's $60 on PS Store... or €75 in Gamestop/Scamstop, why anyone buys from them is beyond me... but each to their own :rolleyes:

Probably because parents who buy games for their kids don't have the time to look for better retailers, and kids themselves don't know that there are any better. It's pure convenience.
If you're a dedicated gamer, though, you should know to look for better prices.

There's always a choice. That's pure robbery and they'll keep getting away with it until people say "no more"

No game is worth €80, unless it's a serious collectors edition, and like the above poster says, if people continue to pay those prices the likes of gamestop and xtravision will keep charging these silly prices.

That's what I'm waiting on.

The way GameStop have been going lately, I fear we're not that long away from €100 games. It seems they will keep rising their prices until people say "enough".

Shower of bastards to be avoided at all costs.

The new nba game is €100 on their website, think it's a special edition though. I really hope they sort their pricing out because although I refuse to pay the full price for their new games I love going into my local gamestop and would hate to see them closing down. I still buy alot of games from gamestop, mainly to keep my business local and I only ever buy games that are on sale there.

Picked up Tales of Zestiria, Dragon Quest Heroes and Disgaea 5 last week and paid less than E50 for each of them, it pays to look around all 4 European Amazon stores, VGP and The Game Collection among others, if you have to go bricks and mortar use Argos and Smyths.

If you want to keep your business local, go to Xtravision. GameStop is a U.S. company and that's where all the money goes. The only thing you're doing is keeping the staff in jobs, which is fair enough, but you're not supporting local business.

At the end of the day, anyone can shop where they like for whatever reasons they like, but personally, GS is the last place in town I'd ever buy a game these days. The shop is tiny, you can barely move around without bumping into someone, all of the sound staff members who were there when it first opened have been replaced with...well..."less sound" staff members, bar one or two, and then of course the prices...

xtravision and hmv are uk owned, not irish, same difference.

Wasn't aware of that, the point about buying local still applies to an extent though, it seems there's no Irish-owned companies to buy games from these days, bar Supervalu for the big releases.

Xtravision is essentially hmv now, uk owned. What I meant by shopping local was keeping local lads in jobs. Now for what I spend there they ain't going to be made up but when they do slash prices the occasional time I buy there. In the last month or so ive gotten littlebigplanet3 on ps4 for €13 new, crimes and punishments ps4 €20 new and a few ps vita titles for a tenner. None AAA titles I suppose but cheaper than anywhere else on the net. Still doesn't justify charging €75+ for new games but they can be good occasionally, just got to watch out for the bargains.

Meh, it's my favourite game and I wasn't waiting for post so GS was the only option as they were the only shop selling the special edition.

Bring back GAME !!!

No game is worth €80?

Street fighter II was about IRL£70 When it came out. Considering how much I've played that game, It was worth it!

Price drop now official, 500GB console now has an RRP of EUR349.

Looking forward to what offers the retailers now make to undercut that.

If people are crazy enough to pay €80 for a game they pretty much deserve to get robbed.

I'm hoping that maybe the DLC for Evil Within might go on sale as I'm just after finishing that game.

I got it a few months ago for half price, well worth it. Keep an eye on other regions (if you have a disc copy of the game)

Bought it digitally on the PS Store so it'll have to be this region.

Like I said, it could only be got in GS.

Zombie Army Trilogy, Until Dawn and Zombi all worth a look at.
