Fuck UK game prices. I was told this is 'normal' for every new generation but seriously we've seen nothing but an increase in prices.
PS1 games = £30
PS2 games = £40
PS3 games = £45
PS4 games = £50/55
£30 in 1997 (when did PS1 launch here?) is £47.66 now.
£40 in 2001 is £57.75 now.
£50 in 2008 (as that's the Ps3 RRP) is £58.19 now.
Worth noting that PS1 games were initially mostly £40, but had a blanket price drop to £30 after a few years. Same for Ps2.
Super street fighter 2 on snes and virtua racer on the mega drive were both £70 (£121.53 now!) so we aren't doing too bad. Especially with the insane production costs nowadays.
I import my ps4 games anyway. You can get them for around £33.
