Mass Effect. If £40 is enough, I really don't pay attention to how much games cost over there.

how much do games cost over there? Is 40 pounds enough to buy a new release title or is that only enough to get an old game?

ya i think 40 pound should be enough because if u covert it its about $80 us

But they get raped with prices.

Edit: I looked at Game, and £40 seems to be the max for games. Mass Effect is £30.

Jesus!

$80 a pop is alot. $60 seems like a lot too. $40 is a good price for me especially when most games suck real bad. Lucky for us we have game demos because I passed on a few titles. I'm sure game developers lose money on people to try before they buy... but on the flip side it pushes them to make better games knowing that if their game sucks we won't buy it.

hmm lets see, you can ether go an look for the best baragains an get 2 decent but old games or you can get mass effect and still have abit of change.

P.s RRP for games when launched is £49.99 which is $100+ i bought COD4 on launch day for £45 an had to buy 2 copies

^ouch... the high prices there are for 2 reasons...

1) high tax (dont say they dont have tax in uk because they do, its just that they add the tax to the final price of the product..)

2) high import rates

LOL a girl that moved here from Germany was talking about how amazing it is that she can get jeans here for $40. She said she was paying €80.

Yeh, the tax part is true, but there are suppliers online that are available to the UK which sell products that are tax exempt. An example would be Play as they are situated in Jersey which is not governed by the stupid tax laws that are in effect on the mainland.

So, whereas new games may start off near the £40 mark, they do not take very long at all to drop, I have bought new games for £30 which is nearly $60. And some new titles will actually start at £30.

^ Going a bit off topic lads.

With those 40 GBP, which I also use as a fellow Englishman, I would buy Halo 3 if you do not have it already (wasn't in your list), or The Orange Box (truly amazing value, around 20-25 quid, and save 15 of it). That's all I can think of now.

*Goes and looks in cupboard*

Or you could wait a while, GRAW2 is good but old, wait for it's sequel (GRAW 3?) and Battlefield: Bad Company looks like it could be worth a pop too.

BioShock if you haven't got it and like a good single player game where you have to use a bit of brains as well. Though not as much brains as in Half-Life 2
.

Meh, there's my opinion.
