Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

Well i did the currency conversion and that's $62.91. Does that price seem high to anyone else, considering BbS will only cost $40? Thoughts?

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

People buy up games alot faster and more obsessively. Therefore why not raise the prices?
It's just Japan.

Prices work differently in different countries. Even if you convert the currency to US dollars, it's still not going to give you a good idea of how much it will cost here.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

Japan is the richest country in the world. Things there cost a lot more there then they do here but ppl over there got money so its like the equivalent to our price. Err.. yeah.

The value of the Japanese yen is higher then the US dollar.

LOLWAT.
If that's just the price for a handheld game, i'd hate to see the prices for a console game.

I remember when the yen was cheaper than the dollar. Though that was a short period of time.

games are expensive in japan, dont worry it costs 34.99$ like the rest of the DS games here in the US.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

UGH don't get me started on game price. You think Japan is bad, look at Australia. We pay almost double what the US pay. A new popular DS game will always be around $60-$70,new console games around $120-140.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

where i live we pay $500 dollars for new console games and $350 for ds games.
that's the equivalent of $83 for a console game and $38 FOR DS GAMES.

i order games from amazon though.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

Still kinda stupid if it would be $35, since a BBS is $5 more and its a way bigger game than coded/Re:coded and Days.

Things are more expensive in Japan, especially games. The yen is worth more than the American dollar.

But Re:Coded will still cost between 34-40 dollars here in the US, I would think.

i tihnk coded should be at least 25$

Most new releases are about 30-40.

then 30 it is.......still, with re:coded, i'm thinking if it's actually worth it.

Well, I guess it depends. It has some info crucial to understanding KH3, I would guess, but it's nothing you couldn't look up on here or on Youtube. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'll buy it myself.

They don't base prices off of the importance of each game, they base the prices off of what platform they're on. If it's a console game, it'd be about $50-60. If it's a handheld, no matter what it is, it'd be about $30 to $40.
