Lack of solid info from Nintendo is one - see other thread by Poly, cost is another. With a couple of games you're looking at close to £400. That buys a lot of games on my current systems. </p> <p>After Christmas I reckon there will be some better bundles at least. I do have the advantage of waiting for the reaction to the US launch first. I can make a decision then. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38771 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:39:19 +0000 deathm00n 38771@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well, I still only buy 1 game per month since I keep 100$ as a long term storage for moving out of parents house, buying a car and so on </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38761 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:12:19 +0000 ManuOtaku 38761@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I feel your pain DeathmOOn, in other countries gaming is a luxury for real, more than eating caviar or drinking dom perignon (expensive champagne);_;, here games are a bit expensier than in Brasil a ps3/360 is found aprox. at 200 $, wii games at 120$, 3ds and vita games at 150$, thank God you are in Brasil and not in Venezuela that intern job will only let you buy one game per month, which would suck man :), so keep in mind you could be worse :) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38759 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:53:38 +0000 deathm00n 38759@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Manu And I thinking in Brazil games where expensive. The vita here is around the price of 550$. I pay for my PS3 games at launch the fixed price 90$ and for older ones like Final Fantasy XIII I've paid 45$. And I'm paid 200$ per month bacause I'm just a intern.</p> <p>You from the upper countries should be all happy knowing how cheap it's for you to have games </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38754 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:51:49 +0000 ManuOtaku 38754@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Poly we can only import 400$ per year, anything beyond that amount you need to buy dollars in the black market, which most of the time are more expensive than the product found on store, adding of course the customs+logistics costs in order to receive the products here, in the end you will be paying more, therefore is not biggy man, thanks for the concern, like i said thank God i have a so-so income, and that iam a wizard with my income, i have to cut other expenses like clothing, etc,in order to game the most out of it, in the end is my only hobby that and watching anime fo course :), although the fights with my wife are EPIC ;_;. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38745 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:52:04 +0000 DrDamn 38745@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@monkeygourmet<br /> Where did you pre-order from? I got a similar price when I pre-ordered from Expansys but I doubt that will come through. The price wasn't quoted in the email I got after and the page changed to a "We will confirm price before charging and dispatch".</p> <p>I also had a ZombiU pack pre-ordered but switch that to a regular premium when the pack contents changed (Nintendoland was removed and replaced with a Pro-controller). </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38692 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:39:11 +0000 OlderGamer 38692@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I am in the same boat as you Poly, thinking strongly about selling mine on E-bay. But it all depends on the prices. It isn't worth it for just a hundred usd or so. But I have already seen the weaker of the two bundles going for 600usd, i have a premium preordered. If it gets up to 1000usd I am going to be very tempted to sell it and just get mine later in the spring or summer of next year. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38691 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:29:52 +0000 Digital Bamboo 38691@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Manu $1000 for a Vita &amp; 1 game? Wowsers, you are one seriously devoted gamer. Sony ought to at least send you a Christmas card or something. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38690 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:37:34 +0000 polygem 38690@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>i have one preordered the day that was possible...right now i am not 100% sure if i will pick one up at launch though - or if i should cancel, or if i should just sell it unopened on ebay if the prices are getting up a bit. i feel like i really have enough games to play this fall. esp. this november there will be halo4, epic mickey power of illusion and paper mario sticker star. i will get those three games for sure day 1 since i am waiting for those for a long time now. also i still haven´t played dishonored and borderlands 2. i feel like maybe i should save the excitement of getting a new console for later, maybe spring, summer, when game releases are slow. it´s a bad timing - that´s all. i mean it´s a good timing for nintendo but not for me.<br /> that said: i am really not so sure if i will go all multiplat next gen with owning all the consoles. i will prolly go for 3ds, wiiu and then either ms OR sony. right now i´d pick the nextbox, but we don´t know much yet.<br /> on the nintendo side of things: does anyone know if the 3ds will get some kind of update when the wiiu launches? some kind of miiverse app? something where you can create a nintendo id, gamertag, whatever thingy?<br /> i really wanna know. that way i could kinda check out miiverse a bit eventhough i might by the wiiu later. would make sense to me to have something on the 3ds as well, but this is nintendo and not apple or ms....</p> <p>@Manu: jeeez manu that´s a lot of cash for gaming gear! can´t you just import stuff? sorry but this is kinda hard for me to imagine, i mean i for sure believe you but those prices are just insane arent they? what about games prices...?</p> <p>i could buy you the consoles here and then i´ll smuggle them for you. i just put them in a nice, unimpressive package with christmas stickers and stuff so it´ll look like grandma has sent you some woolen socks and the customs wont bother to check it... </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38680 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:07:23 +0000 ManuOtaku 38680@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Another example will be the ps3 started selling here in 2006 with a price tag of 700$ for the 80GB model, the slim model 320 GB this year is costing around 1.279$, even though the global price tag is cheaper comparing with the 600$ price tag of 2006, so instead of reducing the price in the long run, it costs more, this will make a good thesis for an economist student by the way :), therefore it is an investment in order to safe later in time, to buy it right away, thats why here i try to purchase it as soon as it arrives, the only exception was the vita, but because i didnt have the money and i saw the price was keeping steady, till this month of course.</p> <p>And the same happens to all console, and electronic devices too, cell phones, laptops, PC, tablets., etc.</p> <p>p.s sorry monkeygourment to derail your thread ;_; </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38679 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:44:02 +0000 ManuOtaku 38679@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Dragon yeah, i dont know how is called or the term is designated in other countries, but basecally is the bonus you received for your yearly work on a company, is an X monthly porcentage calculated for the 12 months of the year you work on a company , here is like aprox. 40% per month,this porcentage is based of your monthly income, the deposit is made in the end of october (around the christmas shopping spree), and we called "utilidades"</p> <p>P.S that bonus is getting shorter remember the vita+the card+ uncharted cost me 970 $ adding to this the WiiU is like 800$, without the games so i almost spend 2000$, the rest is for the kids presents, clothing, my wife gifts clothing, something for my parents,some clothing for me too, etc, at the end if i save 500$ i will make a celebration :).</p> <p>Also it might seem that i spent a lot, but in reality iam saving because in a few moths due inflation and the rising of the currency conversion rate, all the products will increase their price, for example i bought in janury the 3DS, which cost back in the day 418$, right now when i got the vita, i saw it stainding at 837 $, even expensier than the vita, of course the vita was the cheapest one i found going to various stores, it did had a very old price thank God nobody bought it, hence the low price it was one of the firsts batch to come in the country with a 650 $ tag, the newest batch is 850$, but to the recap the issue here, you see the 3ds almost double up the price, so it is wise to buy as soon as you can because later you will pay more, therefore you are saving rather than spending, weird, but this is how things go this side of the world </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=6715#post-38678 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:37:58 +0000 Dragon246 38678@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Manu<br /> Thats some fat bonus!
