How much are you willing to pay for Skyrim?!

Post » Sun Dec 18, 2011 3:33 am

I would have gladly payed more than $60 for this amazing title(bugs and all). That isn't what I payed for it though through the graces of bad luck and a little bit of good luck. How much? $2 US? How is that you must ask! Well I "rented" Skyrim from a redbox machine on release night with the intention of keeping it and paying the full $60 when the 30 day limit was up.(no lines and no preordering, also no packaging :( ) Two weeks later my xbox live account was hacked by FIFA soccer hooligans and $125 spent on bs DLC. My bank immediately refunded the money as I was there talking to the bank manager(who I used to work with) when the transactions took place. I cancelled the card and contacted Redbox after reporting the hacked account to MS. They said they cannot bill me and the game cannot be returned because the account connected to the cancelled card was locked. They said, Merry Christmas! Enjoy your new game. :) The lady also told me to not even worry about it as I offered to charge my new card or send them a check. She said they don't send anything to collections and to enjoy my early christmas gift lol. WTF?! GO REDBOX!

Don't give them ideas.

I'd prefer to see bad games lose their ability to charge $60 than good games charge more.

Considering I normally get at least a few hundred hours out of a TES game I'd be willing to pay at least 4x the price of a regular video game.

Normal price. Wouldn't pay much more. I thought I'd be willing to a while ago, but that was back when I thought building onto an existing formula would involve building onto an existing formula instead of scrapping lots and adding little.

i think it's worth about 43 dollars, but then again, i wouldn't even play some other games for free if given the chance
