FFXIV PS3 Amazon Price and Release Date

[Alhanelem]

regardless of what we should and shouldn't have to do, hehe, most game companies will charge whatever they can get away with. And as the status quo is around 60-70 dollars thats what any company that has faith in their game tries to get in the beginning.

That's only true on consoles. PC games, even the biggest name ones, are often at least $10 cheaper than the console version- aside from the fact that services like Steam often have sales and random deals, whereas sales on console games are far less common.

So either SE doesn't have great faith in 2.0, they do have faith but also want to try to appease satisfied of scared off potential players or they are heralding the new age of less expensive video games (this one isn't very likely :P).

the fact is 2.0 is not a brand new game. Depending on who you talk to, it's a re-release or a remake. I would not expect to pay full console price for either. That doesn't mean they don't have faith, it means they're smart and they know what their likely clientele are willing to pay.

Now, if the price was $10-20, I might start to question the quality, but even that's not a sure thing, because I've played some games in that price range that are amazing.

It may also be that SE didn't force an MSRP on them and it's Amazon that's being cautious about the selling price, and SE didn't have a hand in it.

FIrst, who even pays for PC games besides MMOs that need reg keys. :P

Second, I agree about cheap games being fun: Angry Birds> FF14 anyday. :P
