Mightyowl28 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Marc, I fully appreciate you dont set the price but your our only real contact on here. The pricing strategy behind this requires a swift explanation. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. The RRP according to play.com of the physical version is only £29.99, and it is possible to but the version for £17.99 online (half the price of the download!) I trust you remember last years PS Store launch, also at £35.99, for the publishers to then decide the pricing was incorrect and to drop it to £29.99, and eventually refund anyone who bought it at the incorrect price (about 3 weeks later) On seeing the price on the Official Playstation Blog I was genuinly shocked, then angry, then actually a little upset at being deprived of my main reason for owning a PSP at a sensible price.

scottc18 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Don't pay for it £35.99 for a game thats near enough the same as last years version PSP games are not worth as much as 360 or ps3 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightyowl28 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 sorry if that wasnt clear There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying the price the publishers are asking for it (I would have begrudgingly, perhaps, paid £24.99 for the download) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDriverNo1 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 You will get the standard its not my fault responce. The playstation store is getting beyond a joke. We should contact Watchdog! Seriously they cant keep getting away with screwing us over. I will buy it because its the main reason I have a PSP but I cant wait to see how they explain this one this time.

Mightyowl28 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 That is a good idea, but myself personally, I would like to see if I get some sort of official response through this thread before taking further action Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Barry Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 That is terrible and one of the reasons why I would never get a PSP Go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightyowl28 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sarcastic comment coming up; Perhaps we should get money back for every bug we find or key player missing from the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSEARLEYx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Right heres my theory, sell the PSP Go for £150-£200 (Dont know the actual price), Buy a good old psp 2000 or w/e for £100-£120 and then get FMH11 for £18, smples. FMH is the only reason my psp still has some life into it tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightyowl28 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 I may buy 'The Michael Jackson Experience' for my PSP Go instead.. only £23.99.. (does anybody else think that would have been an ideal price for FMH2011??) I loved that guy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDriverNo1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Long time ago now but did anyone ever here back form SI / SEGA about this ?? I did not !!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret_Chris Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 you cant compare prices between play and ps store ps store is always expensive for the sole reason of convenience, they released Infamous 2 on ps store for £49.99 but you could buy it in Asda for £32.99 Like everything in life, it is always best to shop around as everyone will have their own price structures, SEGA / S.I will only set the R.R.P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceirdiff Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If that is the price the SI set then fine, just don't buy it. They aren't forcing you, they don't have to refund you as you were willing to pay that price. Just flaming about it is, in my honest opinion, immature.

If people dont agree with something as ridiculous as this then they have a right to raise the concern. Hiding and not getting this issue noted and out in the open is hardly going to solve the problem, is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceirdiff Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yes, but demanding that it be reduced or it is reported to watchdog. Calling it ridiculous. Things like that are my idea of immature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this is the wrong place to complain, you need to be on the sony boards as the mark up on certain titles is alot more than the RRP provided by the developer / publisher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
