Tell me this is not one of the most hilarious calls you've ever heard. The "chart" is the cherry on top.

I think what really made the audio for me was "You're like my only friends". That made the caller look even more sad.

Also, I'd like to point out that we already pay $100 for games over here and people still buy them. So I wouldn't be surprised if they tried the same stunt in the US.

Are you serious? Is that the average price of new games around your way?

Yup, I'm quite serious. New games usually cost about 130 swiss francs, which just about is 100 dollars. If you live in Germany you're twice as effed, because you only get the censored version of games... for 100 bucks. If you want the imported original, it will cost you more.

And this is exactly why they raise prices. They know you fanboys will pay up. So actually, the fanboys are digging their own graves. Nice thought, huh?

Games in Germany don't cost 100$. The usual price tag is 60€.

Uhh..yeah...it's fake. That was a phone call on On The Spot originally. The dude just kinda laughs at the end and stuff. This stuff is really getting tiring and un-educated people make me sad.

Damn, then we pay a whole lot more than you do. But at least the games over here are not censored. I recall that we even got an uncensored german version of Perfect Dark back in the day when the N64 had its time.

... and no, I'll try not to make statements about the german videogame market anymore.

It does seem kinda fake but still funny. Are you calling the guy un-educated or the ppl who think that was funny? If you mean the ppl that think its funny I'm a regular dumb** then cuz i almost pissed myself laughing.I don't like Sony that much anyways so that makes it funnier.

That was pretty funny. I wouldn't like games to be $100 either, though.

I gave up DMC 4 because of this. And we all know what a DMC freak I am...TMB broke my heart. Told me DMC 3 might be on GC and then DMC on the Wii! AHH

Yeah, I can totally relate. I felt betrayed when Metal Gear Solid 2: Twin Snakes came out on GameCube. After this PS3 fiasco, I think I'm going to give up on MGS4, regardless of me being such a MGS freak (or just wait until the Wii version comes out).

Seriously, that really sucks. I don't get it, why would they charge so much for people in your country? I can understand they want a profit, but effing ay, man. There's profit and there's extortion!
