Console Prices Adjusted For Inflation

 

[John Wick]

some of those original prices doesnt look correct... like it says the original xbox price was 300.. i remember the xbox being released at 500.. also the ps2 is wrong it was released at 400

 

[Gordonson]

The Xbox 360 launched at $400, not $300 or $500. The Core didn't exist.

YO you gotta cop Rayman Origins right now!

Drop all the games you're playing and cop that.

I played the RM legends demo for 2min and I instantly deleted it.

Pulled up amazon.com and copped rayman origins for $12.

Long story short, RM is an amazing game.

Now I have legends in shrink wrap.

Could of sworn it was 5 I remember way back in the day when they had that huge controller and it was on display at Kmart for 500 maybe it was a bundle ..

 

[Gordonson]

Both of those backlogs are short compared to mine

In addition to a lot of games mentioned, I've still yet to play MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, any of the Mass Effect games, Last of Us, and quite a few more that I can't think of at the moment.

I gave up on MGS 4, I didnt like the controls (Im sure its a great game tho) I played Mass Effect on 360 for a few hours and left it alone. I always said I would go back and pick it up but Ill probably just start with the next-gen Mass Effect. Unless it's a must have RPG or action adventure I wont be buying anymore current gen titles unless they are free on PS+. So that leaves all the FF, Tales of, titles and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2.

Oh yea the PS+ for EU didnt work the way I had hoped. You have to actually have a PS+ EU account in order to access those games. You can still play them from your primary US account as long as that EU PS+ account is active and on the same system as your US account.

Law Firm Files Class Action Suit against EA over Battlefield 4

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Suit against Electronic Arts, Inc.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements highlighting the purported strength of the Company’s rollout of version 4 of its all-important Battlefield video game series, which had provided approximately 11% of its revenues in fiscal 2012. Based on the purported strength of the Battlefield 4 rollout then underway, defendants issued strong fiscal 2014 financial guidance for the Company and actually increased that guidance on October 29, 2013. The price of Electronic Arts’ stock steadily climbed on these statements, reaching a Class Period high of $28.13 per share by August 23, 2013 and allowing certain of Electronic Arts’ senior executives to sell their Electronic Arts stock at artificially inflated prices.

The complaint further alleges that, on November 15, 2013, the day Sony released its new Play Station 4 (“PS4”) console, it was disclosed that players of Electronic Arts’ games were being subjected to multiple glitches and significant crashes when attempting to play Electronic Arts’ titles on PS4. The price of Electronic Arts stock fell on these disclosures, declining more than 7% from a close of $25.96 per share on November 14, 2013 to close at $24.06 per share on November 15, 2013. Then, on December 4, 2013, it was disclosed through discussions defendants had with video game bloggers that due to bugs, connectivity issues, server limitations, and various other problems plaguing Battlefield 4, Electronic Arts had been forced to indefinitely halt the Battlefield 4 rollout and other projects until the problems with Battlefield 4 could be fixed. The price of Electronic Arts shares declined on this news from a close of $22.34 on December 4, 2013 to close at $21.01 on December 5, 2013, sending the share price down more than 28% from its Class Period high.

According to the complaint, defendants’ Class Period statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose and misrepresented the following adverse facts which were known to or recklessly disregarded by defendants: (a) Battlefield 4 was riddled with bugs and multiple other problems, including downloadable content that allowed players access to more levels of the game, a myriad of connectivity issues, server limitations, lost data and repeated sudden crashes, among other things; (b) as a result, Electronic Arts would not achieve a successful holiday season 2013 rollout of Battlefield 4; (c) the performance of the Electronic Arts unit publishing Battlefield 4 was so deficient that all other projects that unit was involved in had to be put on hold to permit it to focus its efforts on fixing Battlefield 4; and (d) as a result, Electronic Arts was not on track to achieve the financial results it had told the market it was on track to achieve during the Class Period.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Electronic Arts common stock during the Class Period (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.

@ giving up on MGS4. Reminds me of how I just couldn't get into Fallout 3 at all.

I actually had those same thoughts about just waiting for the next Mass Effect but I kept having the feeling that it will be with a new character/story and that I'll end up wishing I had played the previous arc. I've been carefully picking which games to buy too since I never know WHEN something I wanted will end up free for PS+. I'll probably go buy FFXIII soon since that one isn't very likely.

Needing another PS+ account for the EU profile sucks though |I, especially since they actually took down a lot of the stuff that had my interest. I'll need to see what else they'll be getting before I could justify that $50.

Fallout is another game I tried but never finished. I can't seem to level my characters up the right way (same thing with Oblivion I think) and I always get stuck and can't progress. I said Im gonna try to use a guide from YouTube to help me get started

Yea not gonna pay $50 when they took down a lot of the games I wanted. Ill just use a trial for DmC on Christmas Eve and make it a priority to beat it within 7 days

I literally got out into the open world in Fallout before never wanting to play it again. I always feel like it might have grew on me if I stuck with it, but I have enough games to play to probably never get it again (had it from when I had my 360)

That's actually a brilliant idea. I think my friend should still have his trial that came with his PS4, so I might see if he'll bless me with it and do the same

I never really got on that anti EA bandwagon until this year. Between the disappointment in Live, Madden and this **** with BF4, they deserve it.

It seems Need For Speed is the only game from them I didnt regret buying.

[stay lurkin]

Ah man I am gonna finish Ni No Kuni. What a beautiful game. That and Catherine

 

[the dauqs]

What multiplayer game are the usuals playing right now?

This is Cuzzo. I'm trying to find out what to pick up right now. I finally have time again.

 

[Ricky D]

Ah man I am gonna finish Ni No Kuni. What a beautiful game. That and Catherine

Ni No Kuni is starting to pick up for me. I had brushed it to the side because Tales of Xillia came came out a week later and then it took me forever to pick it back up but it's turning out to be a really good game, almost reminds me of Pokemon from back in the day

 

[D Double]

Didn't know there was a separate Limited Edition which is not limited to the SE store.
Looks like this is what I'll be getting. Not missing much from the CE.

View media item 700138



Vita also got shafted over here as well. No limited edition and FFX-2 is a digital download included in the package.

I was hoping for that Twin pack that Japan gets.

Yea Im gonna try and get that CE from the SE store, FF is my favorite series of all time so I don't mind spending the extra $. I didn't think FF X-2 was received well outside of Japan which is probably why the Twin Pack is limited to Japan
