Is it worth it?

[Dantethemute]

I know SSBB is a GREAT GAME but is it worth the $96?

 

[Negi-Kun]

$96?! Where do you live? Plus yes. It's worth it.

 

[Yuna]

It's not, worth 96 dollars. Almost no game is worth 96 dollars.

 

[Crystallion]

96 dollars? In the eternal words of CD-I Zelda: "You've got to be kidding."

 

[Fluke]

I think he means $96 AUS. Where all new games are around $99.95 AUS


Go to K-mart, I think it is still $77 AUS.


Either way, I think it is worth it.

 

[LavisFiend]

...Dude...

You gave me a heart attack.

Are you for serious?

Just E-bay it. Don't...EVER...buy a VIDEOGAME for 96$....

I mean seriously... o.o

Yeah, Australia gets screwed price-wise. Developers have noticed how much we pay from the stores so now they're matching digital downloads to match too, refusing to use non-US cards to buy things from US stores. But I disgres. Look around catalogues, you can find it about 75-80 bucks at a few stores (JB Hi-Fi is good at doing that) and places for trade-ins (again, JB hi-Fi gives the best trade-ins. I traded in Red Steel and Big Brain acadamy for MarioKart a few months back)

 

[Talazala]

I would pay $100 if I HAD to. Though I'm glad its only 50 here in the US

 

[Strata]

If you can afford it then go for it.

I'd recommend ordering it offline though.

Are you kidding me?

So there is NO way for you to buy it from an online store based in the US?

 

[DKKountry]

In my day, the video games were only $5.00 each... but they were played with rocks and flint.

JB Hi-Fi is the best, I bought the game for $70 from them. They also had a Trade in 2 games and get Smash free offer, but I didn't want to give up any of my precious games.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

$96 is too much. I suggest just looking around for a better price.

Oh, we could buy US Brawl and a Freeloader, sure, but the latest Wii update breaks the freeloader.

Actually, due to the current low USD rate, $99.95 USD is almost exactly the same as $99.95 AUS. In fact, $101 USD = $99.95 AUS.

 

[Illusive]

Nintendo still think it's 2001, where $1 AUD=50 cents US.

 

[SmashBrother2008]

Psht. $96 poeple, he obviously lives in Africa.

 

[Mic_128]

Nintendo still think it's 2001, where $1 AUD=50 cents US.

Every game publisher does, not just Nintendo. Microsoft and Sony are worse actually, the RRP for some games can be as high as $110, even $120 in a few cases.

 

[nightSN]

holy crap you scared the **** out of me o.o LOL i thought this was us/cnd

 

[aznegglover]

96 dollars, what the hell? o___________O

 

[Leprechaun_Drunk]

there are much better things to spend $96 on. I suggest stealing, downloading illegally, or staging an unforgiving attack on Nintendo.

 

[cj.Shark]

100 dollars NOOO! i cant imagine how much longer it wouldve taken to buy brawl

edit: twice as long ha

 

[The Halloween Captain]

The market price matches what people are willing to pay. I'm a little surprised that people are willing to pay that much for videogames in Australia, but not America.

I also heard Nintendo was hit with the 4th largest fine(/lawsuit?) in the history of the European Union over price gouging.

Also, Brawl is worth it.

 

[Noodlehead]

the wii must of been $499.98+tax.
$96 is an outrageous price. id say try ebay

 

[LP4Life666]

Your sig pretty much sums it up.

"Super Smash Brothers Brawl is the best game i have ever played! Snkae rules!"

 

[-Big_-Blue 9]

I would rent it to be safe
maybe even a couple of times if you can

 

[shadenexus18]

C'mon people, it's Brawl. Of course it's worth paying $96 dead presidents. If push comes to shove, I'd purchase it for this much.

Hell, I'd buy Melee for $150. Now THAT game is worth $150! I've got money to burn!

 

[Skler]

It wasn't even worth $50.

 

[Sosuke]

Thats pretty ridiculous no.
Melee is though.

 

[Tony_11]

i dont care what the price is or where you live, but u HAVE to buy it becuz its like teh BOMBA!

=P

We were paying more originally because of the exchange rate, but I guess they decided not to bother readjusting.
