Since when are PC games 59.99 ??

So i've been craving some L4D so i decided to go out and buy it. I was at the mall at the Gamestop store and all the PC games were listed 59.99. WTF? Pc games are normally 49.99, but L4D2 among other games were listed at 59.99. So screw that. I even went online before and at gamestop. com it was listed at 29.99. Guess ill try to buy it off steam for 37.99

No i didnt even bother. Didnt feel like dealing with them. Plus i still need a year to buy M games and i recently shaved so idt i wouldve got past lol

Left4Dead 1 is on sale on steam at the moment, just $7.49.

Ya i already bought that at retail. But god what a deal.

Only pc game that is 59$ is Call Of Duty Modern Warfare2 (atleast here in north america)

That's Gamestop for you.RK-Mara

You'd be surprised how often Gamestop 'jacks' the price on popular games to take advantage of the fact they'll still sell regardless, aside from those of us who are none the wiser and run to the Walmart next door to get it at its proper MSRP.

Ya ik. Prices on games are just gonna keep getting higher... Cant wait til it costs 100 dollars. yay for my wallet. Isnt that how much it is for aussies? poor them :(

There is little point in buying a retail version of a Valve game, anyway. As for that Mall Gamestop's pricing, it's likely it was only that Gamestop, because they knew they could get away with it.... Their online site has it listed different.

Ever since Activition realized it could charge that much for MW2 because of all the hype. idk other publishers probably just followed their trend

Never shop at Gamestop. Problem solved.

Either the staff was too stupid to realize PC games sell for 50 bucks, or they're just A-holes and tried to get an extra ten bucks out of you.

Yup ik. The other gamestops in my area dont even sell PC games tho. So thats a problem. But usually i just go to best buy or something.

This. And COD 4 in Europe, that was also shipped at 60 € -to cut the price to 50€ just 18 months after-. But MW 2 status as "PC game" is subject to controversy.

This.... oh, and it's only $39 (for PS3) maybe the same for PC Im not sure, right now at BestBuy.

Gamestop is a horrible place to buy PC games...I either buy it through steam or buy online if I want a hard copy.

its called amazon, and if you cant wait for shipping frys, and if you dont care about the dam box then steam or gog or xfire or any DD website.

Modern Warfare 2 for consoles costs about 70€ - 102 USD here. :P

Luckily I've never seen PC games for over 50€, but that is already 72 USD so we're getting ripped of no matter what. Fortunately there's amazon.co.uk and play.com.

This.

I never buy form them, and most of all I never sell games to them... I would feel embarassed to offer someone what they offer you for a used game. Rip off is an understatement.
