YiazmatXII Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) I'm starting this thread because I think it is damn right out of order to ask for £14.99 in UK! It costs $19.99 in US, right? This equates to about £12.50!!!! Not to mention you can pick up a copy for half this price. Also, for £14.99, I can get 2100 points, and buy better stuff! Sorry Capcom, you have just lost a customer because of your selfish greed. EDIT: The reason for this is to point out that Capcom are isolating the poorer gamers. Well done Capcom for making the Rich/Poor gap even bigger Edited September 22, 2011 by YiazmatXII edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Star Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I just bought it as I wanted the game, kinda disappointed to see it more than the 1600 it was announced at but whatever, it was only like 240 extra points. Better value than the weapon skin packs for Gears 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YiazmatXII Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't get how people are paying points for it, as I can only get it for £14.99. XBLM won't let me use my points... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 [x] This is a very fair price. I'm a huge Resident Evil fan and it was worth every cent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breastfed Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 lol how anyone can complain at the price is beyond me, resi 4 was and is a seminal title easily worth a score seeing as a lot of people will dump 1200 points on an arcade title or dlc, this is a full retail release (cheev wise) worth every penny, cent, ms point, drop of blood, or slice of my soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuffles Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm astonished that anyone would be upset about this price. Just blown away. Anything less just doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plym Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm astonished that anyone would be upset about this price. Just blown away. Anything less just doesn't seem right. Agreed, I'd happily play retail price for this. I always buy games about 6 months-1 year after everyone else anyway so the price is lower, so this is a steal for me.

AmbaLaBamba Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm a huge RE fan but I don't want to shed out £14.99 for it, especially when I could buy a few more titles that are on my list for cheaper. Maybe if the price goes down I will consider it, even 1,200 MS Points would be better, but until that time I will just pop my PS2 disk in if need be and be done with it.

killer297 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 i am my self a huge Resident evil 4 fan ( just finished pro at the weekend funny enough ) but however the price i think is a bit too high becuase i bought back my resident evil 4 for £5 and to say that i have to get it back at £15 is just a little to much to be fair, becuase i think that if they were to charge £10 for it i think that it would slience all these people and would be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trombonafide Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 You're complaining about the price of this game, a price which is a steal when weighed against how much content you get? Come the fuck on! Most retail releases these days have less content that this game. And you're really going to bitch about £2.49, give or take?

Hawaiian Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 1680 Microsoft Points for me. I think I'm going to buy it, haven't played it before. I don't think that Capcom is to blame, Microsoft doesn't offer any Games on Demand game for less than €19.99/$19.99/£14.99. Best thing to do is buy Microsoft Points as cheap as possible.

CuddlyREDRUM Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 It's a very fair price, you are getting some great value. It depends upon what you are looking for, I would like the characters to look a bit better, but meh, I don't want the entire game messed with. Compared to a Halo HD for forty bucks, this is great. They didn't need to touch the game, with Halo HD they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup or man Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I guess I'm gonna buy this on PSN since it's half off if you're a Plus subscriber. I still feel like they're should be more Achievements/Trophies for a $20 game, though. Kinda disappointed on that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSoth Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I initially wanted both RE4 and Code Veronica but not at the price they have it at. I already own the whole gamecube collection of Resident Evil. Sure it would be nice to have Code Veronica in HD, but not at $20 for a 10 year old game. I was thinking they'd be around Perfect Dark's price, 800 points. Maybe 1200 at most. But $20 and a 4 GB download is a bit much. I'd also rather have a physical copy of the game.

Jack Pumpkinhed Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This is ridiculous. I mean, really? $19.99 (what I paid for it since I'm American) is a totally fair price. Things to consider about this: A) You get a FULL game. This game was not small to begin with. Plus, it's an amazing story and a super fun experience. B) How much money do you sink into nonsensical things like coffee, energy drinks, or sodas (at roughly 2 bucks a pop) C) If you want to talk outrageous pricing, look at all the avatar items/weapon skins/character outfits that people shell out money hand over fist for. Those don't do anything except make something "look" cool. It serves no other real purpose. In conclusion: You're going to spend money on so much other BS that in comparison paying 19.99 or 16.99 pounds (euros? Don't know, don't care) is a god damn steal for such an amazing experience that has tons of replay value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M49907 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 You gota be a cheap ass hole to bitch about this. 20 dollars for a full retail game with 1000GS available is a good deal. If you already have it on ps2 go play it and stfu. Some people no longer have ps2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbsicle Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The price was decided by capcom, yet from what I understand, this is considered a full retail game on xbl marketplace. Is $20.00usd not the bare minimum for full game downloads? Let's also not forget this includes all the bonus content not found in the original; not to mention it's one of the greatest classics of all time.

Sgt Scyther Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'll be the first to admit that Capcom is a selfish and greedy company, but this is a very fair price for this game. The amount of content you're getting and the quality of the game makes this a steal. Besides, it's only slightly more expensive than your average Arcade title. Sure, you can get the game for cheaper if you go out and get a used version for the GameCube or PS2, but the same could be said for just about any older game that has an HD makeover on XBLA.

I totally agree. Coming from someone who has never played it, 20 dollars is an excellent price for this game. Granted, I'd have liked to have a disc version with cover art and the whole nine yards, but I'm not really complaining at 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
