How much does a game cost where you live?

[Lord Kloo]

England - United Kingdom..

Pound Sterling (£) (GBP) is the currency..

£50 for X-bros games and the same for PS3 but only £30-40 for PC games..

Monthly - tenner.. I don't work much..
(if I had a job it'd probably be somewhere between 1500 - 2000 per month)

 

[Treblaine]

1) United Kingdom, England
2) (Great British) Pound Sterling
3) Xbox 360 game (with including +20% V.A.T (sales tax) so 16.7% of this price is tax)
-retail = £39.99 to £44.99 = $63 to $71
-online = £36.52 to £39.99 = $58 to $63

4) Mean income (annual): UK £20,954 (£16'400 taxed) = US $33'317 = $2'776 per calendar month

4)No idea to be honest.

[Jaded Scribe]

1. USA
2. USD
3. $50-$70 for a new game (non-Collector's Edition) depending on the game.
4. No clue. I live in a weird city. Lots of lower-middle class, students, and young military families that make $30-50k/year, and a lot military contractors, tech jobs and high-ranking officers where salaries push well into the triple digits.

Man, there are a hell of a lot of Swedes around here! Not that I'm surprised, we love games and the internet, and have already made a few Swedish friends around here. So to basically copy the ones before me:

1: Sweden
2: Swedish crowns
3: 600-700 crowns (100$)
4: No idea.

Notice that no one so far has complained, as I've seen Americans and Australians do over game prices before. Let's keep it that way?

 

[York_Beckett]

1) Norway
2) NOK (Kroner)
3) $100-$120 (599-699 NOK) for new releases, around $60 average (349 NOK) on sale. Bargain bin games usually go for around $15-$35 (89-199 NOK.)
4) I don't really know, but I did work at a local theme park once, where I got payed around $123 (720 NOK) for one day.

 

[floppylobster]

1. New Zealand
2. NZD
3. $68US-$113US (depending on how much the distributor thinks they can milk it)
4. $1200

Call of Duty Black Ops has a RRP here of $150NZ which is $114US

But you should see what we pay for internet and mobile phone coverage. I don't even have a phone.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

1. US
2. Dollar
3. 60 bucks.
4. Absolutely no idea.

 

[ChaoticKraus]

1. Sweden
2. Swedish Crowns
3. 500kr for a pc game 600kr for a console game (new). Around 100-120 USD, you guys have ZERO right to complain.
4. Somewhere between 3000-3700$, before the soul-crushing swedish taxes takes a chunk out of it.

 

[Xenotechie]

1. Bosnia and Herzegovina
2. BAM(Bosnian Marks)
3. Varies,average is 60$,but I've seen some fetch up to 100$.They are also hard to find,as bugerion said.
4. Using my friend google,I found the monthly income to be officially about 710$.However,it is normally worse than that.

And before anyone says anything about how bad this is,it isn't really.Basic necessities are priced nicely for our payrolls,and we get fairly good deals on mobile phones and electronics and such.

 

[kebab4you]

1. Sweden
2. swedish crowns

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