    I assume they’re talking about the DLC as well. All together, the game + DLC over here is $140. I assume it’s closer to $120 for America, but haven’t done the conversions.

        Wow our dollar is shit. Not certain where the $120+ is coming from, then. But it is clickbait, so I suppose that’s the point.

            Is that really fair to add? Nobody did it for PSN or xbox live. Also who is to say this is the only game you want online for? Then there’s family pricing which is often split amongst members.

            $100 is already a lot for a game. No need to inflate the figure.

              Yes. We are talking about Pokemon. You know “You gotta catch em all!!” series. You need online to do that.

                Then you should be consistent and count the cost of PSN and XBL the same way.

                    It seems a little disingenuous to single them out this way, especially when the competitors you’re strangely silent on are more expensive.

              I think these online subscriptions are proving to be a major factor in why there’s been a migration of audiences from consoles to PC. People are seemingly running the long-term calculus in their heads and realizing PC is cheaper at a certain threshold.

        I live in europe, in the country with the second highest VAT in the world and it’s still cheaper by ~20 USD

      Isn’t that a DLC ? Bonus content for a bonus price.
