FEAR 2 going for over R480 is BS

[weakest_link]

is that for a special edition or collector's edition? that price is insane!

I think they've noticed the console games sell for alot higher than the pc equivalent and then thought "we should get a slice of that cake"

Seeing as people are paying insane amounts for console games.

I'm (not so) secretly hoping that the publishers/distributors setting their prices so ridiculously high get what's coming to them. For more than 10 years PC games in SA cost around R299 new for a AAA title. In the span of a few months the prices got jacked up twice and now small-fry publishers are selling their games for the South African equivalent of the American pricing ($50 ~ R500).

Anybody know who distributes for Warner Brothers Games in ZA? Hopefully it's not one of the big kahunas like Megarom (in which case this price would be a sign of things to come).

They will get what's coming to them. There's little incentive to go the legal route as it is. They're just committing suicide now.

Thanx mate

Only a matter of time I guess

There's no chance that I'll pay that much for a game. I enjoyed the first FEAR but the second one will have to be in the bargain bin before being played.

It won't change unless there is a serious drop in title purchases from us users.
