Alexrey Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I've been wanting to buy DCS: Black Shark but $50 is just too damn expensive. Does anyone know when there will be a price drop? I heard that the Russian version is only $25, why is this?
-Nighthawk- Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Too damn expensive? It's a bargain for what it contains. Games here are $80-$100, and most of them are crap. The level of detail and work that went into this is a lot more then $50, just buy it. 1
WynnTTr Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Lets put a little perspective into this. Dunno where you're from, but where I am, dinner = $10, movie ticket = $16, popcorn+coke = $8, beer = $15, total for a cheap night out by myself = $49. This sim has provided me with many, many hours of enjoyment and will continue to provide many, many more. 1

Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Nayles Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 There is a slight distinction between what something is percieved to be worth and what an individual can afford to spend. For entertainment value, attention to detail, immersion and the sheer joy that is DCS:BS you could say $50 is nothing.... but your Bank Manager might disagree. I would imagine that you won't start seeing a drop in price until a few months after the retail box release by which time retail discounting may have had an impact.
WynnTTr Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Beer $15? How many beer's liters? Where r u from? Melbourne, Aus. $15 is about the price I pay for a 6-pack of premium beer.
Acedy Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I've been wanting to buy DCS: Black Shark but $50 is just too damn expensive. Does anyone know when there will be a price drop? Amazon.com's preorder price of the upcoming boxed version is $38.99: http://www.amazon.com/DCS-Black-Shark-Pc/dp/B001OAUBR2/ I heard that the Russian version is only $25, why is this? Because the average salary in Russia and CIS countries, the markets that the Russian version is targeted at, is lower than in the USA for example. We have had this discussion about price differences in the past and everything has been said. Closed.
