This isn't twitter. Hash tags don't do anything here.

Wow I hope that they revise those prices. They are over the top expensive, especially for digital copies.

That is absolute craziness! It doesn't make sense that a game that is digitally distributed would cost more than the retail version in the shops. There is no extra expense wrt printing and burning DVD/Blue-Ray discs and the other costs involved with physical retail products. Not cool at all. This is making me think twice about getting a next gen console. Maybe I should rather consider a PC?

Same issue I have with Origin where games cost more on it than in the shops.

lol How I am laughing now at the people that told me getting a next gen console is much better than spending 10k on a gaming pc.

So you spend R7000 on a console and 3k on 3 games...could have had a decent gaming pc where games cost on avg between R350-R450

I think my average game cost is more like R100 or less for PC games.

What ticks me off it that Ghosts and BF on PC is almost the same as the console price. Am I wrong about this or have PC game prices caught up with console prices?

Ridiculous pricing indeed. If this is what the next-gen pricing model is looking like, I've got a sinking feeling that it might deter me from getting any new consoles.
