the UAE game stores are so overpriced

[QUOTE="kenshinhimura10"]Where I live XBOX 360 and PS3 games are 99 dolars and Wii games are 85. PS2 are 70 and DS/PSP are 65. The consoles are between 600-700 for the PS3 40g/80g 650 for the 360 Go Pro and 560 for the Wii. So, I guess we are overpriced.sneakShaker

still it just a psn game for 15 or 20 bucks not an actual game btw ps2 games here are also 70

[QUOTE="jdc6305"]I'm American I don't mean to be insulting but I just curious about the middle east and video games. I didn't think you could get video games anywhere in the middle east. Is UAE a strict Islamic country and how do people feel about video game there? Maybe thats why they cost so much is because there is a tax on them religous reasons? I've seen stuff on TV here about the Islands thier building in the UAE and I know it's a popular tourist country. I find the middle east fastenating and I like learning about the reagon.Hitnake

Im from Iran and we can get the games before they're even being realesed you can get new original game for 65 $ ( for ps3 ) . many of the people play video games but they are always young and we have no age limits kids can get GTA IV and play gears of war whole of the games in Iran are copy except PS3 and most of the gamers have X360 which has cheap games around 4$ .:D

I m frm Pakistan nd we also get gmez before they are released.I saw KILLZONE 2 at a store nd it was priced 60$.See?no taxes!!no religious reasons or anything lke tht.:D.And by the way i get PS2 gmez for 1$ each and 360 gmez for 2$ each,but Ps3 gmez r sold at the real price......Like Iran thre's no age limit....GOD i've seen a lot of 8 year olds playin GTA(all of em)!.......Islamic People LOVE to play Video gamez like the rest of the world.We r no different.;)
