Nah I agree with [MENTION=185]VirtualForce[/MENTION], psychologically games feel more expensive even though they aren't. Just because the values are bigger. It's like the whole thing where prices end with a 9 because psychologically it deceives your mind that it's cheaper than what it is. The same effect is happening here. Doing the math and seeing the prices are two different things and it would make for an interesting study.

Not really.

Not really.

Just because something doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't affect other people. There's more evidence of this occurring in this thread: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...-priced-in-ZAR and I saw more people mentioning it on Twitter.

I know what a dollar cost, even though I am not financially inclined, I watch the financial indicators. I was trying to say, to my eyes at least, for a split second, $19 looked cheaper than R280. When I buy something in USD, I get a SMS within a few seconds that so many ZAR was taken from my tipbank.

But yeah, dont tell my wife...

Don't forget that many banks charge a foreign transaction fee on top of the FX spread.

Very cool indeed! Good to see Rocksmith 2014 is nice and cheap in our region, I wonder if the original will be the same so I can import the tracks into 2014.
