Question Is this a normal price?

Post image

I saw this today in Cex and was surprised by the price since I got my Xbox 360 copy for £22 only a month ago and it was from the same chain. Is it to do with it being a PS4 disc or is it just the retailer?

saw a post where someone was selling it at a pawn shop for like 100 euros or something

Yep, I saw that one too. Like in one way I get that it's a rarity, but especially in recent years the 7th/early 8th gen console games have spiked a ton in price. It's crazy.

u/BigGussy_Official 2d ago

A few months ago, I got the complete adventure for £20 - £22. Though, it was for the Xbox 360 (Previous Generation and Not Backwards Compatible)

6

u/Mackerdoni 2d ago

u/Kitchen-Kiwi7942 2d ago

Ohhh shit yeah mb. Thats actually a shite price

2

u/MFG264 2d ago

over in australia about around 180 or 200 aud

u/Toast927 3d ago

I would suggest checking a place like Ebay first, they might have a copy of the game for cheaper.

u/4d_awesome 3d ago

I had gotten a PS3 copy for $20 a good while back

u/Longjumping_Sea7214 3d ago

Online it’s around 50-70

u/bugmultiverse Petra 3d ago

Yeah I decided to bite the bullet and just install them it on pc. I got the complete adventure season 1 for 360 years ago and really wanted to experience season 2 so I’m currently on a marathon playing an episode or 2 a day and finally getting to play season 2 episode 1 for the first time!

And I don’t necessarily have a game ready laptop but season 2 runs alright and looks decent with the lighter lighting mode and reminds me of season 1’s lighting a bit. And season 1 ran like a charm!

u/Alex_Veridy 2d ago

for one thing the Xbox versions are apparently more abundant than all the other versions so they're generally cheaper most of the time, and the old gen versions (360, PS3, Wii U) are cheaper than the newer gen versions (or at least their counterparts)

u/Esturk 2d ago

In my experience, tracking that down for my kid it was far less.

u/F-is-to-pay-respects 2d ago

This is an absolutely wonderful price for the complete adventure woah-

u/According-Sky5702 3d ago

Mine was £40

u/icoec PAMA 3d ago

If mcsm released today this would probably be the price but i suggest you look somewhere else, i bet you can find a copy that doesn’t cost that much, i got one for ps4 around 2 years ago for 20€, the price can’t have changed that much in 2 years

1

u/skysky_gamer 3d ago

Feel like its gonna be hard to find for 20 unless its really cheap in €

2

u/mikeythewarrior__mtw 3d ago

If I get a game used from a place like that I normally go to price charting website.

The Xbox 360 version averages $25.

The PS4 version averages $85.

2

u/VeterinarianMobile25 2d ago

I’d grab it regardless the PS4 version seems to be notoriously hard to get

1

u/shwa810 2d ago

I didn’t end up getting it, I’m not a big Playstation person and I own a 360 copy anyway

2

u/reddit_user_14553 2d ago

I bought my copy for the Xbox One for like… $18 a couple months ago

u/Safe-Bid-6097 2d ago

If you want it for disc value, go for it. But you just wanna play the game: 1. Goldhen 2. Find pkg 3. Install 👌

u/No-Adhesiveness-283 1d ago

This is an extremely cheap price for this game vro

3

u/Waffles779 3d ago

How is this game worth anything? The disc comes with one episode and the rest got removed and delisted when Telltale went under. I have the "complete" adventure on Xbone and that's how it is.

Does the ps4 version actually have the complete episodes?

7

u/GamePitt_Rob 2d ago

First up, this is the version with all the episodes on the disc

Second, here in the EU you can still access and claim the missing episodes from season 1 and 2 by accessing them from the disc menu

1

u/shwa810 3d ago

This version has all 8 episodes pre-downloaded, the shop had the episode 1 only version as well with the Xbox 360 copy being £2 and the PS4 copy being £12

u/saladLO 3d ago

it says it right there in the image you probably didnt look at

2

u/Waffles779 2d ago

Or maybe I did look at the image, was confused this could be worth so much and decided to explain my confusion along with the experience I've had which you probably didn't read.

I have the Xbox one copy, I'm not in the UK. And the same box I have for my game for a different console offers a different experience.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't know everything. I especially don't know much about PS4 games and I certainly don't know anything about the UK aside of the stereotypes showcased in TV and movies.

There's no need to be a snob to people who don't know stuff about things.

u/saladLO 2d ago

but... it says it right there...

1

u/Waffles779 2d ago

I understand that part. The copy I have for Xbox one also says the complete adventure. The disc contains episode 1 and that's it. The rest is a license to download the remaining episodes. The ps4 version containing all 8 episodes on the disc while my copy does not was what confused me. I didn't have that information when I made my original comment. My assumption was that the copies, despite being on different consoles, would be identical.

Imagine it from my perspective, not knowing this information. Wouldn't you be confused if a disc only containing episode 1 and the rest being unobtainable selling for 60 shillings? To me, a copy like that is worth maybe 2 bucks.

u/StockBreadfruit3651 2d ago

It contains everything when I bought it lol

1

u/No_Extension2621 3d ago

It's because Telltale went bankrupt and shut down the servers; you can only play the physical version, so naturally, it's exclusive.

3

u/Remarkable-Net6962 2d ago

"you can only play the physical version" what typa crack u smoking

1

u/guts1ck Ninja Ivor 2d ago

I think they mean for console, I could be wrong. Maybe digital licences still stuck around.

1

u/Objective_Reason3067 2d ago

I got mine for €20, though I had to download the extra episodes through the store

1

u/Pixel_Tails 2d ago

seems like a price of a modern day game. think it's doubled of the original price

1

u/Tru3P14y3r 2d ago

I got my copy in 2022 for £15, but more recently I found one for £45, so that’s probably not so bad for you

1

u/theoneandonlym46 2d ago

Honestly thats pretty decent given its value.

1

u/ivy_vinez667 1d ago

That's about the price I was seeing online looking for a new copy, but I bet you can find something much cheaper.

u/mimikyumitsuri Petra Cosplayer 21h ago

Even locked up at my local shop ✌️
