I would pay up to one million zimbabwe dollars. Look it up if you don't know.

20 people are willing to pay 1000$ ??? Surely you jest dear sirs. I'm willing to pay the industry (not Activision's) standard namely 50-60$

60$

How much is that in bunnies?

$ 535,002.55 did it lol
￡ 335,193.63 i did that to

:shocking:

Actually one million zimbwe dollars is only worth about 2500 bucks or so.

Edit: I also wouldn't pay that much. Maybe 1k zimbabwe dollars.

well thats google converter for ya

Honestly, I'd pay $60 , that's for all future expansions and dlc. I hate the fact that companies like maxis, go expansion crazy. They'll release a game half done and charge people $30 every couple of months for a mediocre sized ,update opposed to a bunch of smaller free updates.

PC games are $50. I am not voting in this poll. I refuse to pay the same price as a console game for the PC version. It is $10 cheaper or I don't buy it until a price drop. Skyrim is no exception.

I laugh in the face of console game pricing. Paying more for less as far as I'm concerned.

It's not $60 that's too much for me. It's the same price as the console version. If the console version was $70 I'd happily pay $60.

I wouldn't be willing to pay any more than I pay for other games in the market.

Um, why are all the poll options $60 and upwards??? Kinda stupid, isn't that, since the normal price of a PC game is $50? Also, $50 is what I'm willing to pay. Don't have huge faith in Bethesda games after Oblivion (a huge nose-dive in quality from Morrowind) and Fallout 3 had such terrible production values and so many shoddy elements: UI, dialog, models, animations, AI, world detail, and more. I felt embarrassed to play those games. I feel like buying Skyrim entails a significant gamble, as if it's anything like their previous 2 games then I'll quickly be uninstalling it.

Typically a standard edition is around $60 (CAD), cheaper in the US maybe around $50 (even though CAD is worth more at the moment). Collectors edition (not announced) would probably run around $80. Alhough if there is a lot of super uber content in the box CE's can run upwards to $130 and beyond.

However the poll is asking what people are willing to pay... which in all honesty is probably not a good question to answer. The poll can be very misleading.

Why would I be willing to pay anything more than I would for a normal game?

I mean, sure, I have a total hard-on for Skyrim. But if they could get away with charging whatever they want, TES VI would cost $1,000.

Not that it matters, as I'm waiting for the collectors edition and that's worth paying extra for.

No more than 48.2243 USD. Or 30 GBP. For standard version in any case. For some sort of fancy edition, no more than 72.3360 USD (45 GBP).

I said over 200. Only for this reason: If they released the game, and suddenly it cost 200+. I would be angry, I would boycott bethesda, but that's the absolute maximum I would pay before resorting to other means. Means that I would never normally resort to.

Another indication of the games value, is that I am willing to pay full price for the game. Most other games, are steam sale games for 5 bucks instead of the starting price of 89.95 (Australia inflation =hello) and spend all the money I saved on a new graphics card, or a new monitor. This might seem cheap of me - but that's because some games are only worth 5 bucks.

For example, I paid 50 dollars for fallout new vegas. It was worth 50 bucks, the bugs where annoying, the game is quite unstable when modded, and the expansion dlc are far worse than fallout 3's. But it's still 200 hours of quirky entertainment you won't find anywhere else. In call of duty, thats 90 bucks for 3 hours of singleplayer. I don't enjoy competition. So that's worth about 5-10 bucks to me. Mind you, it's also generic, and 3 hours of fallout new vegas would likely be more memorable. So about 3 bucks. Using this same logic, skyrim is worth about 60-100 bucks. It might end up being a dissapointment, but unlike a huge portion of this forum, i preferred my 300 hours of it, more than i did my 300 hours in morrowind. So according to me, bethesda games are incrementally, getting better.

I figure around $100 for the collectors edition and strategy guide (I collect strategy guides) more for good DLC's.

Some of you act as if games should stay the same price forever. The fact is new video games averaged 50$ on all platforms for close to 20 years. Name one other form of entertainment that has remained as constant as video games...just one. You can't do it. 60$ is the new standard like it or not and 1-2 years after the next gen drops console games will be 70$ standard. Why do i get the feeling most of you griping about games being over 50$ have never actually earned a wage and payed your own way in this world?

The beauty here is that you can wait a bit, and get a better deal. Of course, if you have to have it right that minute, you pay full price. Of course, with a game like Skyrim, you might have to wait a while...

I wait for deals all the time. I'm wearing a shirt right now that retails for $45 - but I have *never* paid that for a shirt. Instead, I wait until the end of the season, snatch up several for $15, and move on. Of course, being a guy, that's doable. My wife has a harder time with that concept. Same thing.

I'd pay up to $150, so around $160 US.

Well, since I already bought it. $0

Costs 100 reais (local currency) in brazil, so unfortunately, i'm going with that. Unless i... :whistling:

Hahaha, what?

People who work for a living and pay for everything themselves see first hand the effects of inflation. No one has to explain to them that they are paying more now for everything than they did even 5-10 years ago.
