This.......can't be right........right?

[SkinyJim]

So I booted up Origin to run Crysis 2 (bought a key online and registered it on origin) and I couldn't help but notice this

Spoiler

Surely someone has made a mistake? Yeah digital distributors like to overcharge when they realise I'm from New Zealand, but......WHAT THE HELL!? I threw the amount through a currency converter and apparently it's about $283 US. Who would pay that much for a game, even if it was for a collectors edition? Which I'm not so sure it is. Even if it was that's a hell of a lot of money for digital content. I'm pretty sure I saw this game in a store today for $110NZ (typical price for a new release console game here). I just......wow.......I'm stunned.

How do they expect to compete with steam with things like that?

 

[TimeLord]

That's pretty excessive, even taking into account exchange rates. Sure it's not some kind of super special awesome special edition?

It'll only be worth that much if it comes shipped with a free-of-charge complimentary hooker.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I'm sure we all know EA are cheap bastards. *Install 5 times*

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

If its not an error then its the biggest rip off i've seen. i paid the normal $60 (US) for it and while its not the worst thing ever, i'll likely trade it in for the next big release.

 

[Scabadus]

For any other company I'd laugh quietly and think they made a mistake. But... this is EA's own distribution platform.

I'm pretty sure that's a mistake...that can't be right!

There is no way on gods earth that is right!...

I hope

Yes, this. That's a stupid price, I could pre-order about 6 Mass Effect 3 Special editions for that... and they're £70 here in the UK....

 

[Macgyvercas]

Unless the game came with a complimentary trip to Red Lobster and a cute escort girl who plays D&D, there is no way I would pay that much.

What about Belgium?

wow your computer can actually play crysis 2 mine just sits there and crys saying it's to heavy

 

[scnj]

I'd imagine that's a mistake.

That's a steal if it comes bundled with Belgium, and being purchased would solve their problems forming a government, win-win!

 

[Saltyk]

Well obviously Alice will manifest in physical form next to you while you play. You have the matter anti-matter photon physics generator in your computer, right?

Because, honestly, that's about the only way I can see that being right.

 

[orangeapples]

only 349.99? Do they at least buy you dinner?

And I have no idea how they would do a collector's edition on a download... do you get bonus stuff mailed to you?

 

[Don't taze me bro]

Double check you haven't accidentally clicked on a 'multi-pack' like what steam does, selling 4 copies at once. I clicked on a link to SF4 Arcade Edition, and thought the price was stupidly retarded, and then realized it was my mistake.

Couldn't help but laugh after reading this and seeing your avatar...

I don't understand the heckle, I'll be honest. What, does Belgium have some particularly fine hookers?

 

[Kaltazraza]

I'd imagine that's a mistake.

Thats like the time when me and my friends bought The burning crusade for 3 dollars on its release day.

 

[Woodsey]

Do they let you put on some make up to make yourself look pretty before they fuck you royally?

Anyway, mistake me thinks.
