I’m more than a little annoyed about the prices i’ve seen for add-ons that I would like to have but simply can’t afford.
I really enjoyed playing fallout 3 and I was looking over at the playstation store this morning and noticed they had 4 add-ons for fallout 3, awesome I thought, trouble is each one was a staggering $9.99, if you take in to account the game was $60 when it first came out, that now adds up to over $100 if you want everything. $100 per game I think is way too high.
This doesn’t apply to all games, I was also checking out the Resident Evil 5 add-on for playing slayers, which is online only I believe and that was only $4.99
Obviously the price comes down over time but you really don’t want to wait a year or more to buy an add-on, especially on a really cool game.
Needless to say I won’t be purchasing the add-ons for fallout 3 which is a shame, I really wanted to play those, but at $4.99 I may get the RE5 add-on.
What’s your take on pricey add-ons? I’ve heard people griping about $1.99 add-ons so I definitely think $9.99 is too high.
I think at $60 average per new game the companies have got more than their fair share of profits within that price range, when I see a $9.99 add-on that’s more along the lines of greed, especially when there are 4 of them for just one game, wouldn’t be so bad if it was $9.99 for all four but i’d still have a problem with that.
Come on Sony listen to your fans, get together with the game developers and give us some decent pricing on add-ons if you really must charge anything for them.
