    Default The Price of ETW

    I went into town yesterday to buy the game and I was shocked at the price. It's just a penny under forty quid. I decided against buying it for the moment (bills etc to pay) I dug out my copy of MTW2 just to check that my memory hadn't failed me and it was priced at £24.99. So ETW is £15 more.

    I undestand that a lot of work has gone into developing the game but that's one heck of a hike!

    I'd get a bank loan but I've probably got more spare cash than them at the moment.

    Anyone else suprised at the increase?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    My copy was $49.99. Thought undoubtedly I wish I could have paid less, this seems the standard price for new games nowadays, if not more.

    I saw the "special Addition" in tescos the other day for £34.99 ( the same as I bought it for) and the standard edition for £29.99.

    Where were you looking for the game?
    May the Foss be with you....

    Heh. Shopto have made ETW their weekly special. £17.99 plus free postage, if that's any help to anyone. I've used shopto quite a few times; they're good. Order before 5PM and you get your game the next day.
