Lionheart_0 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ok, i know this is gonna sound random, but whats the average pricing of PC games over in Europe. Mind you, i would rather the price be in Euros. Also, would anyone know if a European PC game would work with a North American PC ? Lastly, i know Video game consoles are a different make over there. But for something like say, a DS, would the games and stuff like that be considered different? Or are NA and EU DS games/console interchangeable? Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Parabola Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 New PC games are generally ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã35 in highstreet shops, less online - ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã25-30 normally. All PC games work on PCs anywhere in the world - none are region-specific. At least, in ~16 years of PC gaming that's what I've noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelAssassin Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 PC games are considerably cheaper than other formats, you can pick up new releases for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã25 if you look carefully. www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavi Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well, here in Finland, they are about 70 ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì for a new, highly anticipated game to about 4.95ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì for a really sucky, old game. But generally around 50ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì. All pc games work everywhere. As for video games, you've got your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionheart_0 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 One last question. Anyone know the approximate price for a DS in euros? The thing is, i might get one there is its cheaper. Then again, i dunno, i might want to spend my money on something else. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

Bubsa Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Heh, I've been doing kind of the opposite. Buying a Creative Zen Vision M and plug adaptor was around 50% cheaper in North America online than in the UK (minus postal) when the ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã-$ was near 2. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
