I like digital media. If I have the option I'll buy an album or a movie or a video game in digital form. Except when the pricing is total bullshit.
Let me explain. As I had mentioned before I want to buy the new Luigi's Mansion. So I go to the 3DS eShop and attempt to buy the game. It's $40 dollars, same as in retail. I put my credit card info and it tells me to fuck off. Hmmm...oh yeah, I have the DS in US region, I'm going to change it to Mexico and try again. I change the settings and come back to the store. I find the game...it costs $800 pesos (about $65 dollars)...what the fuck!!! Why? It's the same game. You're not importing it. I know games at retail cost a lot here in Mexico but it's a digital copy! Take your fucking game and shove it up your ass!.... could you tell I'm pissed off? OK, that was my little rant.
But I really do want to play the game so I bought it on Amazon haha...and now I have to wait for it to arrive...
Anyway, have a good day :D
Yeah, that's ridiculous. It blows my mind that people even buy these things in Mexico, with salaries what they are and what not.
ReplyDeletethats ridiculous supreme!
ReplyDeleteRidiculous indeed!
ReplyDeleteI would accept that from someone like EA or Activision, but Nintendo? It just seems like they don't care about that market, that or someone screwed up when putting the price.
ReplyDeleteDigital media shouldn't even be as expensive as physical, and yet they sell it at the same price on launch, at least video games, I don't know about music and books.
Damn! that really sucks :( Also, pass the game super fast and lend it to me!
