Tony Hawk : Ride to cost $119.99

Here it is would anyone here be willing to shell out that much for this game with Skate in the picture? I personally wouldn't.

Haha, are they for real? Huge pass.

Activision does it again. Milks as much as they possibly can out of a game series.

I know, right? I could almost buy an actual skateboard with that much money...

Its done Activision. Stick a fork in it.

If it's good then it won't be a problem. By the end of E3 we'll probably have a good idea on how it'll turn out. Increasing your game's price gives you the burden of delivering exceptional quality. In other words, if they expectme to pay that much, this better be the best Tony Hawk game in years.

Is this not the same as a Guitar Hero game with a controller? Juggernaut140

$89.99 MSRP, but can often be found on sale much cheaper.

"If you were worried that would make it cost a bit more, you should know that it might make it cost a lot more."

I lol'd.

That price is ridiculous.

Surely, there must be a package of just the game.

Most games in Australia retail for $110-120. Which is by my powers of estimation*... $86.37200 - $94.22400 American dollars.
Therefore Tony Hawk: Ride will cost... $152 here in Aus. I'll stick with skate

*google currency converter

to me gutiar hero looked pretty stupid and way too expensive and we know how that turned out so this could work. wonder if people will be willing ot shell out over a hundred bucks in this econoomy though

Well thats one easy decision for me to make...

wait is this the REAL price or a glitched in gamestop website

I used to get great decks w/ quality trucks, wheels, bearings, etc, from CCS and Active for around $120.

This is a rip.

Besides, Guitar Hero is a game that would be boring as hell with a standard controller. While skateboarding games aren't.seeker512

I guess its more about the experience rather than the gameplay itself, You and your friends can always just sit there with the standard controller and play something but when you get up to play guitar hero or rockband, its all different.

I'm sure they're quality boards too :roll:

$60 for the game and $60 for the controller, that's really not so bad.

Those are complete garbage. A good prebuilt will probably run you about $120.

So people are willing to spend $600 on a console, but $60 for a really cool controller is too much?

The Tony hawk games went downhill after Tony Hawks underground

Skateboarding games need a special controller to be fun.

Since when?? Most of the TH games were great with the standard controller..Skate 1 and 2 brought innovation to the genre with the standard controller..

This is nothing more than a gimmick to bring attention to a dying brand...

Really, Activision? Nobody even buys Tony Hawk games anymore, and your first solution to bring people back is a crappy gimmick priced at $120? $30 more than even Wii Fit? They deserve to fail.

I'm sure they're quality boards too :roll:

A good skateboard is by no means a piece of wood on wheels.

Send the game to the Wii, since its proven quite often wii fans will buy the inane accesories for that system.

Activision and Ninty should work together in the peripheral business. But lets give credit when it's deserved : It's actually kinda cool.

It'll sell like hot cakes. You can sell anything to a console gamer today. Even if it was a piece of crap in a cool looking package.

Here is a tip Activision. DO NOT release a game that costs that much in this economy. You basically just ruined your sales for this game before it even releases.

Nah. I always get my games from a retail store/Steam, but I never trust the marketing hype.

And I'd never buy those plastic guitars, drums and similar overly expensive crap. It's just ridicilous.

I was not talking about you.

Just in -very- general terms. This kind of games, marketed well and nicely packaged, can sell well among console and PC gamers alike.

Oh I am sure this is gonna sell like hotcakes :roll:
