I paid $40USD for GT5P + $2500jmd to clear customs and if it had cost $60USD I would have also bought it cause I am a big fan of the series; now to these halo fans they might be saying to themselves, damn look at Sony rape those simulation junkies.... priceless.

At the end of the day though, who gives a sh*t. I work for my money so do they or their parents or whomever; can't they buy what makes them happy?

Funny thing though is that if this were a Sony PS3 title, you probably would be hearing how great the PS3 is that devs can take little over a year to complete a title because it is so easy to develop for and yet still the game sells millions.

I hope they have a launch event here

Blah Blah Blah. Shall we just close the forums then cause Bee and him paady dem think everyone should keep dem opinions and ting to dem selves. Probably should go tell those guys talking about the new AMD cards and the whole amd and nvidia lineup in the hardware section to just quit it. Every man shud just buy wha dem waaan buy.

How much do you think GT5P is worth?

I wouldnt be praising sony dats for sure. I dont praise them for killzone 2 DLC nor LBP paid for DLC. If my money going to waste or get taken lightly, no praise round here.

hopefully the first 60mins is not the full game

it was going to be addon content that could not run without original halo 3 disc . Now it is a stand along game , that is why the price has gone up

where u hear that? From wha i remember it was ALWAYS goin to be a standalone game that only offered as much as an expansion hence the initial $30 price point.
Also, its on 2 DVDs so how exactly would it have been working with the halo 3 disc

"In a nutshell, Halo 3 Recon is essentially an expansion, but it is also a stand-alone retail product,"

^TGS 2008 announcement. If you remember where you saw it was going to be DLC for Halo 3 only and not a standalone game, I'm curious to see where you got that info.

Bungie design lead Joe Bertone says the game is "a three to five-hour expansion pack," with cinematic director Joe Staten saying "we do not view this as a $60 title."

My perceived value for it when it was first announced was about $60, the value I place on it after purchasing and playing it, about $30.

Ignoring the other statements, can't argue with console minions. Sevennnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

You would really have paid $60 for GT5: P? I paid $10 for it and thought it was a bit much. But then I'm a Burnout/NFS guy... Prologue is good to get some split screen on tho since most other developers have become so ****in lazy and money hungry to take this out racing games favoring pure online multiplayer. What's next? Fighters without local 2-player?

Probably should have just updated the Multiplayer and put the whole single player story into a movie or anime.
