FFE: Get To Know You Better (Introduction and Friendship-Building Thread)

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"]

[QUOTE="Lightning__Evil"]That's still too much though. They shouldn't be that much anymore. Game consoles sell at a loss when released but by this point the majority of what is in them is so obsolete that the price goes down and companies can actually make a profit or nearly so. They're making an outrageous profit if its still at 500 though.vegamineral

yeah they are, and when games here are 100-120 bucks, they are making a lot of money

you're a lucky duck, it's not any cheaper on PSN either 

That's so high, new games here are $60, the only time its ever above that is for special or collector's editions. They would be about the same on PSN for new titles but older PSX games like FFVII/VIII/IX are $8 each.Lightning__Evil

collectors edition are 200 bucks or more 

Sheesh, its rare they ever go above 80 or maybe 100 here. Its only like the legendary editions or super packed special editions that are really up there in price.Lightning__Evil

the most expensive one i saw was for 500 bucks, and that was the cod care package

i bought Tomb Raider CE for 140 bucks and that was without the statue, i am trying to get things over Amazon, but the shipping does cost like 50 bucks there also, so yeah... 

Jeez that's insane. The most I ever have to pay on shipping is like 4 or 5 bucks but usually I don't even need to pay shipping.Lightning__Evil

lucky you, i had to pay almost 30 bucks for shipping for Bleach: Soul Resurreccion 

Thats insane, sounds like with the shipping cost you'd be much better off buying it in the storeLightning__Evil

sad thing is they didn't sell it anywhere here, you had to special order that 

I kinda thought that might be the case later on.Lightning__Evil

Nah, i think anime isn't as mainstream here and this isn't a big country, so most of them think they won't make money off stuff like that 

I guess that would make sense, that still sounds like a lot to pay for a movie though but I guess thats just one of the differences between countries.Lightning__Evil

yeah i think it's the taxes 

Taxes or just something with shipping not being as frequent or well set up or something, idk. The extra cost obviously comes through the transportation of the item and the difference in the value of money between countries.Lightning__Evil

well shipping costs 20 bucks alone, so the games or anything shipped costs more because of that

Hi guys! I know the past year or so has been very difficult for everyone here at FF, especially with me gone missing for quite some time. Been very busy with life. I ask for your understanding for not making my presence felt around here. :(

Several things that kept me busy:

1. First of all is my very demanding work in the Philippine governemt.

2. I got married last May 05. ;)

3. I was requested to help in maintaining a Philippine Playstation forum... I thought, with most of my gaming and internet time spent on GameFAQs and Gamespot, it's high time for me to help my fellow Filipino gamers.

Anyway, perhaps, everybody knows already that Gamespot is shutting down the union system. I will be posting in our homepage my decision. I hope I will get your support. Thanks and regards to all.
