LeMonkeyChuck Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I find the prices on the Monkey Island games obscene . Three years ago I was desperate to get Monkey Island 3, but shocked to see the price was ranging into thirty pounds, even into the fourtys! I have a very low amount of money and most of that is spent on weekly shopping, and this stopped me from getting Monkey Island 3, the game I saw and loved at first sight, until just over a month ago! The prices aren't affordable for many people, and lots of us have to wait afew YEARS until the price comes down to, say, 15 pounds. But none of us want to wait that long. It's probable that the same thing will happen for me with Monkey Island 4. I only managed to get MI1, 2 & 3 because they were in The Bounty Pack. Monkey Island 4 - I have looked all around town and the prices are all from 39.99. This is outragous. Post your thoughts on this terrible pricing for Monkey Island.

HelenW Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I too have grown up responsibilities, I have my own house and car and I am a student, and it is hard to find money for things. I often have a look in ebay. You can pick up some bargains there and they often have new releases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Feral Chicken Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 £39.99? THat isn't nice. Most games around my area are £30 on release. Try shopping around, or else look on the Internet, for lower prices. Try not to go into vastly-known shops like PC World. On the other hand, avoid little-known shops. Go for the in-betweenies, like Game and EB. Hope that helps. ------------------ Feral Signatures & Imaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brighteyesmonkey Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Yeah come on Legend! That ain't fair "AT ALL"! Niko's used 2D for ages now and it's out of order nicking him.

NiKo Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 okay faith! btw, how do you like my new originall sig? ------------------ NiKo A ghostly Figure in your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiKo Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 yeah, that was sarcasm. taking 2D would be like someone taking the monkey from brighteyes sig, or the stork from storkens, they may not have custody of these characters, but i wouldnt agree to anyone "nicking" them. now, i didnt ORDER him to change it, i asked nicely. and i hope he will change it. as it does franklly **** me off. (especially as my next sig was suposed to feature 2D in tha pose) ------------------ ~ if you rewind, you can hear Satan singing a duet with Ricky martin~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 NiKo is 2D Maybe and NiKo could come to a compromise on the sig, I dunno, I mean I can see why NiKo is so upset, and I would be too, but at the same time it's not like NiKo owns the copyrights to using 2D on his sig... I think that's what Helly is trying to say (maybe I'm wrong, I dunno) ------------------ Brighty's definate better half! After all, I'm an Australian female, and he's some English snooty nosed male!

Thrik Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Monkey in brighteyes sig: a pic taken from somewhere, which nobody knows of, and finding a similar one would be easy. 2D: An extremely well known figure of late, and out of 6 of the boards I visit, there's at least 2 people with sigs using a Gorillaz character. It's a fad, people want to, and will, use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
