How much does a game cost where you live?

[Whiptail]

1. Sweden
2. swedish crowns
3. 700 crowns (100$)
4. no idea around 2000$ I think

you can't really translate the name for swedish currency, say SEK instead . and average is more upwards 3700 dollar.

Well every time I've heard someone mention the swedish currency in english they've said crowns, so why not just call it that. And the average was just I guess, I have no idea, I don't work I'm still in school =P

The swedish currency is called crowns in english, so I'm not sure why you couldn't call it that.

OT: Same as all the other Swedes. Around 600sek.

Germany and The Netherlands with ?

New PC games typically cost 45? (~60USD) but it HIGHLY depends on where you shop. Retailers and even online shops often have pretty vast differences (I remember where one chain almost halved the price of a CE to best competition).

Depending on the sales figures prices can also drop *very* fast to something more affordable, because really, who pays full price.

 

[Haxxle]

1) U.K/United Kingdom
2) Pounds/£
3) $63.52
4) Not sure

 

[MikhailGH]

1) Serbia
2) RSD - Dinar
3) 80 to 110 US Dollars
4) Around 250 US Dollars

As you can see, you have to make more than average money to buy games regularly here

 

[AWC Viper]

1) Australia
2) AUD
3) 89.3359 USD (for a new PC game RRP $90 or 108.196 USD for a New Xbox/PS3 game)
4) about 40K-80K

 

[Mr Pantomime]

1 - New Zealand
2 - New Zealand Dollars
3 - $100-$150 (about 80 - 100 USD)

As for 4, its about $3000, but that doesnt really tell you anything. What really matters is your disposable income. Say I earn $100 p/w, and you earn $700 p/w. However, you have a mortgage, a wife and a kid to feed, car payments, bills etc. In the end you might have $50 to spend on things you want. I, on the other hand, have no responsibilities, so I can use that $100 to buy whatever I want. That means I have more money in the end even though you make more. And since youre dealing with many different countries, youll have to know things like food prices, living conditions, house prices etc. Maybe they have expensive video games but very cheap food, so they can afford it. Knowing how much money they make wont really help if you dont know what that money can buy them.

Sorry if I sound like a prick, I just like thinking about this stuff
