Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3)

[Your Mom]

I want Titanfall now!!

[Summers]

$499 is £321 and 378 Euros. Bullshit am I paying an extra £100

That's fucked up tbh.

Titanfall looks immense. Feels crysisy.

"Oh, your killstreaks let you deploy dogs? That's nice, kid, I'll just be here deploying my MECHS."

[Cactus Drags]

Not sure why everyone's spazzing at the price, you're kidding yourself if you thought it was going to be much cheaper than that.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Titanfall does look pretty sweet. Shame the money I'd spend on it has to go on the console.

[Ruki]

These are the guys that got fired from Infinity Ward, right?

[deli]

Titanfall actually looks really cool

[Summers]

Normally not a fan of MECHs, this looks fucking mad though.

It's not that I thought it'd be cheaper, I just think they should have done a fair exchange rate. Though, saying that, at the equivalent of £420, Americans would be paying upward of $600, so I'm not saying any of the prices are perfect as they are.

[Ruki]

Have to admit, I might want a Xbox One now. Is Titanfall an exclusive?

Can't wait to see the PS4 stuff! They do have a special Final Fantasy announcement, I think.

[Herr Matzat]

So i take non of you are watching the Apple event right now? >_>

I knew it'd be expensive but I just don't think they've done themselves any favours with it. If they'd gone in at like £299 then that might have turned a lot of people's heads. That and the case of we Europeans having to put up with an overpriced system in comparison to the Americans. Of course, we have to wait and see what the PS4 is launching at.

Now the show's over, I think they did a good job. They promised lots of games and they delivered, as well as adding a bit of value to the Gold subscription package. I don't think they'll have done anything to convince people who were already deadset against the system but to those on the fence, it's given them something to think about ahead of Sony's presentation.

That's sort of fair enough, but that happens with everything, not just Microsoft and not just games consoles. Not saying it's right, I'm just saying it shouldn't be a surprise.

Yup.

Assuming the American price is what they consider it's worth to be.. we're playing £100 over that. For no legitimate reason.

I think they've done enough to sell me on having the Xbox One unless the PS4 winds up being £50-75 cheaper and has enough exclusive games that appeal to me. Most of my friends play Xbox and will probably carry on playing it, so would rather not be playing the opposite console without very good reason.

[GoGo Yubari]

Titanfall looks like a lot of fun and the first FPS WE ARE SOLDIERS RAAAAAAAARGH game that I might want. Hope I can play it at PAX this year. That being said, it'll still probably be at least a year after release that I get an Xbox One, if that.

[TKz]

£420 is still better than I expected by far, I was thinking more along the lines of £600. If there's a strong launch day line up... oh man, my bank account in November...

"that happens with everything, not just Microsoft and not just games consoles. Not saying it's right, I'm just saying it shouldn't be a surprise."

I enjoyed that more than I thought I would, not counting technical hitches and rapey moments. Still concerned over the unexplained/poorly explained issues raised form the launch event, but we'll see.

[TKz]

Yeah, I have to ask if you've ever checked the US prices for anything ever if you're pissed at this. It was always going to be the case, just be happy they didn't just change the symbol and cut a bit off the price at least.

[Cactus Drags]

I've had a lot of customers expecting prices over £500, so I'm sure they'll be ecstatic.

And really, if you bought a smartphone outright these days (HTC One, S4 etc.) you're looking at £400-500, it's not that unreasonable.
