it's ironic here you guys are lamenting about the prices of wii games at PA and there kotaku was just publishing an article about how wii games are the fastest to hit the bargain bins. laugh.gif

i do agreed most wii titles are pretty expensive and the cheap ones aren't even worth looking at....

actually some of wii best third party has dy hit bargain bin price.... NMH and Z&W are both cheap if u can find them.

because of this, i'm tempted to wait it out for current and future wii 3rd party title, heartbreaking to know i can get it for half price now if i'm prepared to wait for about 6-9 months. cry.gif

i luv supporting under-performing titles like NMH and Z&W but it's these under-performing titles that tend to hit bargain bin price first.... sad.gif

i think Dead Rising Wii should be priced the same as RE4 but what do i know? now i'm not sure if it's a first-day purchase for me anymore esp since it's only a month before RE5.

why do i get a feeling that u were trying to show off at that last part of ur post? shakehead.gif

i only got burnt with NMH among the wii games i bought so far but seeing that it's my fave outta the bunch, it's not so bad. tongue.gif somehow that made me think twice about making castlevania judgment a day-one purchase.

i gave up on PAL games since the 32-bit/PSOne era, was a serious PAL gamer since i was studying in UK then but got really discouraged about the shoddy PAL conversion everyone were complaining about (50-60hz, black borders appearing). Now even with this gen region-free consoles, i rarely take a chance with PAL versions anymore.

sorry ah kyo, i thought gundam got an overseas gf too now i'm really confused....

actually looking at the rate of games hitting the PAL region (Disaster, FSR) .... hail the return of PAL games. notworthy.gif i heard Fatal Frame IV also got a PAL release date liao, it's true?

@ gundam, i probably couldn't tell the difference running at 50/60hz but the complaints felt like i was buying damaged goods. still keeping my PAL collection though, it's one of the highlight of my collection since ppl weren't buying ori during the PSOne era. tongue.gif

Australia Milo taste different, like hot chocolate rather than the milo we know and love. u can find them there too no problem but i guess most can't get used to the taste.

i heard it's most apparent for beat'em ups right? capcom did an awful job with Oni1 and DMC1 PAL conversion so there was no looking back for me then...
