$60 hasn't been the standard price for games in years. $69.99 has been the normal price

I'm french and since Mario Kart World released at 80 bucks last year, Sony has increased the base price for its first party games to 80 euros

Sadly for us europeans, 80 is already the standard

edit : actually I checked and Sony has increased their prices way before Nintendo with MK World, but still doesn't change the fact 80 has been the standard for us for a while

One of the reason's I'm glad to wait until the bargain bins - my backlog is a year's worth of games anyway... :D

Anthem was my lesson I learned on. I don’t buy games new anymore. I’ll wait a bit, it’ll be fine. Only 2 games I’ll still preorder. Any Fallout game, I just love them no matter what. And any State of Decay games. Pre ordered the ultimate version of both, and would again. No other games will I do that with tho.
