10 Games Coming Out.....

[Deed]

If the game is good, £20 is nothing!

Especially if the game is boxed ...

However, in the US $35 is rather high for a handheld game unless it is very good quality (hopefully they are, but I still remember the gp32 commercial games). GBA and DS games generally go for around $30 on initial release. I generally won't pay more than $20 for games, even for consoles (I end up waiting for the price to drop, but it saves me money). I would only pay $35 for a game if it is about equal quality to good mainstream games and has many hours of gameplay. For simple arcade games and such I would pay about $15.

i wouldnt be surprised if you got your games cheaper than us, this is one of the ways the UK gets screwed actually - prices seem to get DIRECTLY turned into pounds, not converted. For example, my girlfriend whilst with her parents in miami picks up games for about 35 dollars from her local store. then i go to the local store and pick up /the same game/ for 35 pounds. looks the same and totally ISNT. so i wouldnt be surprised if something simular with gp2x games comes where we get ours for 20 pounds and you get yours for 25-30 dollars or something.

but who knows not worth arguing about it until we see what the real prices are on release day

The thing is, the games probably won't be good... at least not as good as a high end gba or DS game. A lower price, that'd grab the whole scene, is the way to go IMO.

we dont know that, they might be great! those 3d ones sound especially appealing. Dont judge the games until they are out

i think a proper game with box, manual and that comes on its sd card is worth £20 easilly. the SD is worth that much alone. I would like to see lots of devs picking up the chain and making games for gp2x, more there are the higher chance of great quality ones. But they arnt going to bother if everyone here keeps pushing the price down and it gets to the point where really they arnt going to get alot of return for their trouble and they may as well dev somewhere else - even at a decent price devving for the gp2x is a risky gamble considering the smaller market. So nah, I think £20 at minium is grand - cheaper than pc, console or other handheld games here in the UK but hopfully good enough to keep devs interested.

1 person converts the amount wrong, probably by making a bad guess, and you make a whole post telling us people how to convert?

now to make this post non useless like yours.

£20 seems like quite a lot for a gp2x game =| Really.. not saying they wont be good, but you could probably get much better games for £20..boxed with a cd. i'd have thought download = £5-7, boxed = £12-15 would be quite reasonable, i assume this is WITHOUT an instruction manual? not that us guys need a manual or anything...

Um, someone posted the wrong amount and a lot of people believed him.

What? It was just one person -- me, and "believe" is the wrong word. I'm the only person who quoted what he said, and I shouldn't even have done that. 20 pounds is a lot for a 512mb (or smaller) sd card and game, at least when compared to products in the US market. Don't exaggerate your point to sound more correct. There was also no need for a second person to post a proper conversion hours apart from the first.
