Pre-ordering its a double edged weapon, even if one edge gives you gift that the other wont have. I rather wait out till I know how the game is, before buying.

I believe DLCs are another reaction of the content industry on filesharing. They are squeezing those who are willing to pay even more.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

of course time change! we get less content for bigger prices! isnt this wonderfull??
You have to admit though that game budgets have increased alot. Games are alot more realistic and developing assets takes alot more manpower. I don't believe prices have increased that much, 5 years ago I paid 50 euros for a game as well if I went to a regular game store.

DLC is a way to recoup some of the development costs although I admit that the practices of companies like Activision/IW are ridiculous in this regard.

That sure is true. I can remember paying £50.00 for Metal Gear Solid from Woolworths in 1999.

Sigh .. this discussion again. I shall repeat it again in case you missed it last time.
Games in 1990 cost 50 euros (110 Guilders in those days). 20 years later, a whole lot of inflation later and bigger game budgets later ... the games are even cheaper!

I take 10 seconds to google a price comparison site, I preorder from the cheapest site and I buy a game for 35 euros !!! A new game for 35 euros.
Then comes the DLC .. Oh dear I must buy this otherwise my life has no meaning ..... NO I don't.
It's a nice thing to have a choice. You have the core experience and get to choose of you want the side crap on your dish.

I've been playing games for twenty+ years now and it only got cheaper and better.

When I was playing Warlock on the C64 I could only dream of games like Battlefield 2, Mass Effect, Baldur's gate, Half Life. Speaking of Half Life when the bloody hell is the next episode coming? I've almost forgotten the whole story line.

speaking the truth NTH, my parents paid $50 for Mortal Kombat 2 on my 10th birthday, almost 15 years later games are only an extra $10, sure I'll preorder.
So they are so infallible yet they can't even communicate and work with each other... sounds like politicians.

Games in the EU are rediculously expensive, here in NL they used to be 50 gulden which' currency was worth about 2 euros. Instead of making prices 25 euros, they just switched the money icon... I never bought a game since then unless it was totally worth it.

NTH, you should explain more about how inflation rate works.

IMO, games improve overtime in many different directions.

There are those who go straight upwards (like Gran Turismo series), with more contents, better quality, smarter computer opponent AI, more realistic, more customization, interface, interaction, and multiplayer capability.

There are those who aim for the specifics. Battlefield series totally dump singleplayer, sea warfare, etc for more graphics, multiplayer, interaction, customization, etc... however they are sure to be improving.

In short, there must be some improvement in BF3, and some people are willing to buy it, even though they sacrifice several aspects that "used to be" cool in previous series.

Are you sure they are legit version?

FYI, in Singapore, before they drive away illegal/pirated software out of street market, it used to cost SGD 10 a title for pirated version, the legit version is around SGD 60-90. Since people used to buy pirated games most of the time (due to the price), they simply feels the price is increasing overtime when piracy is slowly driven away overtime.

In Indonesia, the pirated software used to be IDR 8,000 (CD), then currently at IDR 25,000 (DVD) each. The legit ones is rated at IDR 480,000-700,000. They are both still sold side-by-side, if you want MP, you buy the licensed ones, if you are not so concerned about IP rights stuff, then you can save for the morale.

  BF3 will be the cats ass.  If it is the awesome modifiable game I buy for PC is another question.  I am going to hand EA money either way.  The big question is rather I play this only on the console or on the PC as well.

Between now and End 2011 i have no other games looking forward to, so i'll take BF3 aswel.

Something tells me it just wont be "another Cod game" i dont know what it is.
