| 627404 | 2008-01-04 02:50:00 | What would be a price you would be happy to pay for a new game? Say Box/booklet Disc X however many needed. Do you think if the prices were lower would that also in turn lower piracy? |

The latest always costs more as well. Any person will pay for whatever they need or want. Most people do not need a game to survive. |

| 627408 | 2008-01-04 04:13:00 | I'm happy with a maximum of $50. NZ. I think it would lower piracy. Not eliminate it, nothing will do that. |

| 627409 | 2008-01-04 07:22:00 | Yea, Id be happy to pay $50. No more then that though. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 627410 | 2008-01-04 07:34:00 | $50. I pay any higher only if I feel they deserve my money. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 627411 | 2008-01-04 10:09:00 | $50 maximum . Paying $100 or sometimes $100+ for the latest console games is just plain ridiculous; they're pretty much feeding the piracy machine . You can get the latest games (original ones too with the box + manual) for equivalent NZ$40 in most Asian countries . There are a few traders on Trademe selling imported games way below the RRP so that'll be the first place you should look . :cool: |

That doesn't stop some traders, so check up on it before buying an import. |
