Hello everyone,

I just got re4 wii edition. It's due to release tomorrow, but I got it a day early. Still a great game, better controls, budget price.....BUDGET PRICE?! Hell no!

It costs 29.95(dollar) right? Well....here we pay 44.95!(euro) That's right, that's 60.50!!(dollar)

Omg...if it would cost 29.95 euro, it would be more expensive, but it costs 44.95 euro compared to the 29.95 dollar pricing.

What is this?:S

Zero.

Well the Americans have been paying basically half the price people in the EU have to pay for games for a very long time now.

RE4 is retailing at £25, not £40.

It depends where you look, I've seen some shops advertising £29, others go all the way up £40.

As with everything else it's worth shopping around for the best deal. I've seen the Euro version around the £25 mark though i brought the US version for £17.99.

Well in all honesty if thats the way youu look at it all games in Europe will cost you a lot more regardless, so if you are that bothered by that there is not really a lot you can do other than not buy the games, they always have used similar price point for games and more than likely always will, I personally don't have a problem with it.

Most games in UK cost £40, RE4 costs £25. That may be $50, but it's cheap by UK standards

I can't believe anyone pays £40 for a Wii game, I've been trying to tell everyone I know to buy them on line as the highstreet always over charges. I got RE4 for £23 from www.shopto.combut even www.amazon.co.ukhas better deals then a place like GAME.

I never shop in the high street anymore. It's a place for suckers that have more money than sense.

Xbox 360 and PS3 prices are still much higher then Wii in Europe. In Japan there is no Nintendo's Players Choice. Games in general are much more expensive there in the states.

Amazon.co.uk have the game at £29.99. Still high compared to US. But we in Europe have always paid more than US. In US a Wii cost $250, in Norway 2500 Norwegian Krones, that's equal to around US$420.

I wish the Wii was regionfree so importing gamescould be an option.

I think it is because the European Market is stronger than the U.S. market. Plus, you guys probably get free health care and the scene is a little laid back. It balances out, or come to America.
