    A lot of fuss about this. It'll always just get cheaper. ALWAYS. As for compensation, it is needless. Nintendo handed 3DS early adopters games as a gesture of good faith, not because they had to. Nowhere does it say that if you pay one price today and it changes tomorrow, do you need to get compensated for the difference.

    If you buy day one, be prepared to shell out more than the guy who buys it a few months down the line. The same happens with digital comic books. After a month, there's a $2 price drop compared to release day. We don't complain about that, because that would be complaining about logic.
    That's what she said.

    I don't get it, so you buy a game for $60 a month later it goes on sale for $30 are you then gonna go to steam and demand to be somehow reimbursed or try get something from them?

    Prices on PC hardware changes almost daily, you don't see people bitching about having to spend extra on something that was R5000 last month and now costs R5600 or just after purchasing the price drops by R600, its just how the world works especially when it comes to early adopters of both pc hardware, consoles, new release games ect ect.

    Price changing is common practice and if you don't want to be part of it then don't be an early adopter.

    The main thing here is because its related to the Xbox One, so everyone has to bitch and cry, if this was the PS4, I bet you it wouldn't get half as much attention, or it would be seen as a positive thing
    The main reason the world is losing their minds is that although this is common practice for PC hardware; such an early drop is unprecedented for consoles. People don't like change; especially change that affects them negatively (*them being the people whom already own the console ).

    A bitter pill will always be unwelcome to swallow.

    Nah man, but it honestly feels like its just been released. And its not like some small item either, it takes years to design and its meant to have a long lifetime. It can't be compared to a comic book or anything similar. Its a big slap in the face for those release date guys.

    It was released November last year bud, its been 4 months and although it is a short amount of time its well within their rights to do so. The guys complaining are just tards for expecting anything different. I've already explained it but its just how the world works, they want the console to compete with the PS4 on every level and honestly now that its the same price as the PS4 they will def sell more because there are thousands of parents/kids/people that don't care about graphics or exclusives they just want a new console so they'll most likely pick up the ps4 because its less expensive, that changes now.

    The price drop is only for the uk not worldwide and it was badly needed sales are floundering you just need to look at the sales of Xbone games in the uk.

    I'm sure that it'll trickle down this way (and many other parts of the world) soon enough.

    Yeah for now it is, its a matter of time before it gets lowered everywhere else.
    I think by the time we get the console in SA it'll cost exactly the same as the PS4.
