A message for Sony

just want Sony to hear this...i am a PS3 owner in Pakistan and PS3 is rapidly increasing here.But games here are really expensive i mean more than the $60.even older games are sold expensive.thus we are forced to buy used games which is not good for gaming as whole.Another way is to buy games Sony discounts on the PSN store but there is no easy way to purchase games online other than importing PSN cards from US.
Therefore dear Sony the gamers in countries such as Pakistan are HUGE fans of the PS3 and we want you to setup your proper organization in such countries with all services available to us as in US or Europe.And due to Blu-Ray you do not need to worry about the problems of piracy as in PS2 and Xbox 360.

you may want to look into it yourself as far as importing or starting a chain store yourself; it sounds like it would be sucessful.

Same problem here dude, i live in Egypt where new PS3 games cost about 90-100 dollars, even the platinum ones, so i end up buying most of my PS3 games used.

@pixels word: i am a 17 year old and have just enough time for playing games...cant open a business my friend :)

Theres always the future. If no one jumps into this area of the market, it could be a gold mine...

Credit cards and Amazon. You'll also get the nice pre-orders on new games :P. Though a bit for shipping.

New games in Canada are $70-$80..

fan_of_gaming5781d ago (Edited 5781d ago )

I agree with the $69.99 but I've never seen a new game retail here in Canada for $79.99 unless it was a limited/collector's edition

goflyakite5781d ago

I meant with tax, the $70 are actually $80.

Dramscus5781d ago

As another canadian I can back that up. I think it comes to 79 something after tax. More or less depending on province.
I could see myself spending 100 or a 120 bucks every month or other month and getting two games each time. at nearly 80 for new games and 70 for most games under six months.it's way to much to be getting two games each of those times. It's enough to make me extra wary when I go to buy new games. Make sure their worth the money.
Which isn't something I like to do. I'm sure there are lots of not AAA games I would have picked up if they cost a little less off the bat. I thought dark void sounded neat, but then reviews said it wasn't that great so I didn't grab it. If it was a 50 dollar purchase I could have just bought it without worrying or reading. It's more of a discretionary amount, it doesn't really matter, it's just 50 bucks.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
