Would you give 50 Euros for BS4: Angel of Death?
From various posts in the AG forum I came to a conclusion that BS4 was made on a tight budget. Usually tight budget games are retailing around 30 Euros. I was shocked to find BS4 retailing at the hefty price of 50 Euros. Inmo this is too far and not what I was expecting from a game with low production values therefore I am not touching the game. I think some people try to get richer here. Definitely not a buy. I mean first class so called AAA titles are retailing around 40 euros and for sure BS4 is not Oblivion...
How do people feel about the price tag? Maybe I am the one at the wrong side of the boat here…

Play.com sell BS4 for £17.99 = ~ 27 Euros. That includes P+P btw.
Amazon sell it for exactly the same price including postage too. HTH? |

Where? It's currently £17.99 at Amazon.co.uk. I think it was a bit more when I pre-ordered, but not as much as €50.

I am pretty sure it says 50 Euros... Dunno if this is regional pricing or global but no matter how many times I look at it, it says 50 Euros. For now this is the only shop that has BS 4 available in my little wackoland country but I believe if and when the other game retailers have it the price will probably be the same.

Yes, it is being released at full price. And yes, I think that that may be a mistake. Search around, though, and there are cheaper versions to be found - such as the ones at Play.com, Amazon.co.uk or dvd.co.uk, and at least one of those will ship to Europe for free, I believe.

The store I was planning to purchase the game will ask 49,99€ for it. I am certain Broken Sword 3 - which I bought in the same store - did not cost that much.
To compare that same store asked 49,99€ for the Age of Empires III Collector's Pack, which included the game, two posters, the making of DVD, the soundtrack, a figurine, a full-colour manual and a hardcover book with the concept art for the game. |

Don't buy it in Fnac, just order from play.com. Mine was posted yesterday for 18£.

New games in Fnac are usually overpriced...

Yes I would, in a heartbeat. Though I would feel it's a slightly strange price.

Production values have no bearing on purchase cost.
BS4 might have a lower budget than say Half Life 2 but it doesn't mean they can't charge full price for it if they want to . The decision on value for money is of course yours.
