ME3 is $79.99 on Origin...

And all I've got to say is LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

No way in hell. If new releases start breaking the $60 mark on the regular, I'm just going to have to find a new hobby.

It's $80 for the deluxe edition. Not the standard.

You know, back in my day, new video games were a lot more expensive. Chrono Trigger didn't even have a deluxe edition, and it was still $80 when it first came out.

That wasn't even the most expensive game of its time. And $80 was worth more back then than it is now.

You kids have no idea how good you have it.

I'm only 27, damn it.

$80? I bought tomb raider 2 for $100 when it was released on the PSX, you north americans get it easy, try being an honest gamer on a 3rd world country, it will your wallet.

At least EA makes it easy for us by trying to make us pay in Euros, so I say them and get their games for free, the rest I buy them from steam for those who do want my money and don't want to steal from me.

69,95 € (98,86733 U.S. dollars) for ME3 deluxe? i lol'd

You'd better delete this statement before a mod sees it and bans you...

All new games in New Zealand and Australia cost upwards of $100, the Call of Duty's upon release cost $120. $80 seems like a mighty fine price, I'm going to pre-order it.

No, you will get banned (forum ban) for advocating piracy. You did after all say "get their games for free" which, in my mind, is referring to pirating their games.

Some of us live in countries where getting a deluxe version for $80 is a SAVING of $40 on regular store bought deluxe versions.

Preordering off origin (srsly)

So because the games are over priced in your countries, they should also be over priced in the US? I fail to see the logic.

80$ isn't all that bad... it's the price we europeans pay for most deluxe game versions, be it retail or digital.

79,99$ = 56,63€

It will likely cost 60 euro here on steam.

don't expect that you could buy deluxe edition ($80) in steam. it won't come forever. you could only buy standard version which still costs $60.

$80 is what would be a cheap standard edition for a game, here.

Damned Australia.
