I have a friend who works in GAME in the new Liverpool1 centre and according to him EA are raising their prices due to them being money grabbing

Any people in the industry know about this ?

They're less 'money grabbing' than Nintendo with their gimmicky crap. They won't raise their prices over what the usualy games are. They know PC Gamers can get a game fpor £25 new, so they can't charge £40 like the consoles if they wanted to.

It's a crappy rumor because someone has something against EA. They may be adding a monthly subscription cost to some games, but lots of MMO's are now going to be making their games free, apart from a £4-6 monthly charge.

Nintendo are money grabbing but they're a business it would be weird if they didn't
That isn't really the reason EA are raising price's there's another reason I just forget

Yeah... the real reason EA are rising their prices is because they're trying to hide that they're not a company, but also there's a secret reason no-one knows.
Although there are rumours that the other reason may be because really they're venting due to a product they buy may possibly rise in price for good reasons that they fail to recognise.

I don't see why EA are money-hungry just because their prices start rising. No one accused sony and Microsoft of being money hungry about the jump from £30 to £40-50 for current gen xbox and playstation games.

Heh :p I don't think they wouldn't do anything drastic, probably from £25 to £30.

I don't see why this is such an issue. Its the game industry, of course they are going to screw people over. What major company isn't?
EA, Nintendo, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Nintendo, Ubisoft, Sony, Take-Two, Activision Blizzard, SquareEnix and Nintendo etc, etc all have done something past present or future.
One hand its the capitalism argument...* the other hand its the perceived knowledge that their customers (gamers of all types) are stupid**. With problems arising only when a company believes that their fans are braindead as oppose to retarded . EA want take-two so why not pass that expense on the fool who buys their yearly sports updates each and every year?
Most expensive games are always Nintendo games. Barely do Wii games go under £30 and DS games £25. For example, Zelda TP should be around £20 now.

* I'm waiting on the whole we are doomed argument.. "that we have to raise prices due to the rising demand and cost of oil"
** Most gaming companies are very stupid in the buisness sense. Hence muchly on the very. So it all becomes a vicious cycle of blatent stupidity. :|

Different forms of stupidity. People who have irrational grammar can still be artistic in thought, and thus beautiful :x. Stupidity is caused by the lack of creativity exerted by a person to drastically outweigh their self worth.

Stupidity = ignorance on the subject. Even if it's the 9000th topic running.

Stupidity changes, and will visit us all eventually.

Ooo Wok down. Sink tiff; yeh' wanny. "ply" tat came£?!

Noted is your need to feel intellectually superior. I could be mean but hey I'll be nice instead and give you some advice. :) If you don't read the Independent, I suggest you do, they make loads of grammatical errors. :D

But please let it be noted I don’t actually care, it was late, I had a hard exam earlier, my brain was not exactly caring about “OMG I MADE A SPELLING MISTAKE!!!! *screams* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Well you quoted me . I felt like I had to reply. :)

Compare it to some really irritating person who moans about silly unimportant things, you don't have to drop them in a vat of acid but for the greater good of the whole universe, it is the best and kindest thing you could do . :)

I did it for you. :_| :x

Back on topic the oil thing is rather relevant being as some plastics are derived from oils

But honestly anyone who can search for a news topic and get a clear on this would be great i don't want to have to pay loads for skate.2
