     I though that yesterday when I saw the American price. As for the European………….

   Good update although why anyone would buy Mirror’s Edge for £15.99 when you can get it 2nd hand for less than a fiver is anyone’s guess (£1.48 + £2.03 P&P at Amazon). Is it really worth an extra £13 just to get it straight away? (if your internet connection doesn’t want to take eight hours to download it).

   I would also take issue with paying almost £50 for F1 or FIFA. I just can’t see how they can justify the charge when they don’t have the same production or distribution costs associated with a boxed version. The other discussion about discounted digital downloads (although it looks like this is only in Australia?) hit the nail on the head; they’re scared of undercutting the shops. I’d be interested to know how many downlaods they sell at these prices.

       You haven’t exactly stepped out of line, so I assume that’s okay :)

       Hope your day gets better, though.

     I’ve bought it digitally, as I did with mass effect 3. I see half of £50 for a brand new game of such quality and esteem to be a bit of a bargain to be honest.

     As someone mentioned the other day, if you get a pal to go halves on a digital version of a game, you can share it afterwards. So in that case, it’s quite good. (ie. FIFA 13 for £25).

     depends how much you play it to whether it’s worth it to you or not… I bought FIFA12 digitally and that was even dearer at £54.99 because I knew I’d be playing it for a whole year and having it on the HDD is a massive convinience.

     Digital games are generally sold at their SRP… What would all the retailers worldwide think if EA (or whoever) sold them hundreds of thousands of copies of a game at price in which it is suggested they sell for £49.99, but then they go and undercut that. If a retailer wants to take a hit on their margins to gain extra sales that’s their choice, but having their supplier undercut them by going direct? No way, that’s not on.

     As much as things are going digital, it’s still hugely important that publishers keep retailers onside which is why when they have the chance to sell direct they sell at SRP

       Not saying I agree with the stategy, but that’s just how it is.

   Starhawk (single player)
   PEGI: 16
   Availability: Not available in Bulgaria, >Germany<, Hungary, Qatar

   Thankfully you can download stuff from other accounts on the PS3…
   I'd still like to know why it's not available in Germany…

     Isn’t it due to German laws about giving away for free violent games?

   I like the idea of Starhawk single an multiplayer sold seperately, very clever!

   So still no counter strike. SCEE, did you lost the only copy Valve sent you and are too ashamed to admit it? As it seems so. That or their dog has somehow eaten it.

   AC2 GOTY is a decent price. It’s the only decent price for full PS3 games this week. Except for Tokyo Jungle but that’s a PSN game that has a decent price.

   Some of those games are cheaper in $ on the US store than they are in £ in the UK. Digital prices already take the water, without the d act same digital file costing $40 or £58.

   Tokyo Jungle & possibly Page Chronica for me along with Klonoa from last week but yes, I’m with R1MJAW. I really want Dyad and if its not coming to UK shores that just means I’ll grab a US PSN so I can pair it up with Apples to Apples & Closure, the latter of which too has been MIA for us for ages.

    Anyone know what the story is with the vita version? Has it the same features or is it a watered down version of FIFA 12?

      Judging from reviews on Metacritic it doesn’t look good and would kinda explain why EA has been so silent about the Vita version, as looks to be a small update of Fifa Football and not a true proper port of Fifa 13.

      Personally I’m waiting for some proper reviews and by the looks of it also a price drop or maybe even Fifa 14 Vita, if EA every decides to do a proper version.

        Yeah, it’s Vita FIFA 12.5 instead of a proper FIFA 13

        Apparently FIFA14 will be the real thing :/
