Ubisoft's The Crew Priced at an Outrageous 100€ for PS4 and Xbox One by European GameStop Branches

There still isn't a firm release date for Ubisoft’s upcoming open world racing game The Crew, but a few GameStop branches in Europe definitely seem to have a weird pricing for it.

[Doritos_Pope]

The Doritos Pope wishes to know by holy decree, by the power invested in him by the great Doradito in the sky, by the sweet taste of the broken holy Dorito and Blessed Dew of mass WTF is up with that pricing???

[Team_Litt]

You try too hard.

[Abriael]

He's kinda funny tho.

[Team_Litt]

Yeah but he loses it by being so long winded. I end up just cringing.

[FlunkinMonkey]

I would rather read his comments than your second account waffle.

Who are you to try and shut him down like that? At least he's writing something original.

Move forth, Divine Dorito.

[malokevi]

Look at all these guys defend him. Then make a hilarious (or not) joke about Taco Bell, and watch them all jump down your throat.

Ahhhhh, N4G, I beseech thee!

[FlunkinMonkey]

Aww looks like you need a waahhmbulance there, Malokevi.

When are you going to stop moaning like a little girls blouse about which way this website sways due to console popularity, and just show yourself the digital door?

[malokevi]

Just callin it like I see it, sweetheart ;)

don't like it? lump it!

[FlunkinMonkey]

"don't like it? lump it!'

O dear, the irony.. after all of your yapping on here. bahaha.

I think you need to use some of this Dalai Lama like wisdom on yourself there, petal.

PLEASE!!! BY ALL MEANS!!! MAKE a Taco Bell joke...

[ObiWanaTokie]

omg flunkin monkey your comment made me chubby, in a non homophobic way of course but seriously just enjoy the site and forum bash in forum bashing sites.

seriously though flunkin monkey that made me spill my chocolate milk, and i dont spill my milk for no one

im not black either i just had some milk mixed with nesquick at the time

[thereapersson]

I read to the end of this godforsaken comment string, got a few laughs out of the ordeal, but overall am disappoint in you all.

Major lols from you starting a crapstorm, Pope.

[MasterCornholio]

Why don't you ask your boy friend McHale about that?

;)

ROFL

[AgentSmithPS4]

Publicity stunt or a sign of the end of days.

This game could be great, but I'd recommend buying a wheel for the PS4 (if they sell them, and get a warranty on it). I had a wheel for my PC and midnight club 2 and it made it even more fun.
Depending on the VR release date/price I'd get VR first though.

[Angeljuice]

So you recommend paying ~$200 on a wheel plus ~$500+ on VR gear to play this game?

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Wow that crazy man really 100 pounds now this is some BS

[Abriael]

100 euros are actually 82 pounds. Still crazy.

[jcnba28]

It's "euro" not "euros". Whether it's 1 or more euro it's still just "euro".

[Raf1k1]

Maybe so but I've never heard anyone in the UK actually say they have multiple "Euro". It's always "Euros".

[iDadio]

I scoff when having to lay down £55 for a game let alone more

[fattyuk]

^^^ £55 for a game?

Don't think so some how.

[silvacrest]

£55? where are you buying your games?

[Raf1k1]

£55 is the RRP on PS4 games. Not sure why though considering Xbox One games are still £45 like the 360 and PS3 games.

Some places do sell at full price though I stay away from them and buy wherever I can get it cheapest.

[iDadio]

Was about to make that point Raf1k1, 55 is the srrp but lords no do I pay that much, shopto gets my sterling.

[Ko_Uraki]

Can not believe it is true. People simply will not buy it.

[Ninjamonkey82]

There's a sucker born every day. Bobby Kotick could tell you all about them.

[Meltic]

Here i live in europé in sweden infamous second son is on the price tag of 79$ when its releases on GAME. ITS CRAZY. i preordered infamous and MGS both for 80$. So i say FU GAME.

[Exoil]

The game has the pricing of 799 SEK in Game, that converts to $125, not $80..

[sinjonezp]

Funny, when I was a kid, I got street fighter 2 turbo at eb games when it was first released for snes 79.99 plus tax. Games are relatively cheaper these days but still, that is way too much.

[Angeljuice]

@sinjonezp

That was because Nintendo used cartridges which often had custom chips and memory etc built-in. Some games released in the UK with a price just shy of £100 ($160) on the N64 (the average price of a disc based game at the time was £40 ($60).

[redwin]

Only if it comes with a wheele and no microtransactons otherwise, like SKYRIM online, this game is DOA .

[diehardmetallicafan]

like iv'e said on other pages, in australia a brand new game, no matter what it is, is around $100. how long it stays at that price is determined by its popularity and sales

[mmc-007]

same here in europe.

[Mister_Dawg]

100 Euros?

Pocket change. Make it 200 and be done with it.

[DC777]

I don't doubt prices will go up with these ridiculous development costs.

[1nsomniac]

What on Earth are you talking about?

It's been proven & acknowledged by corporate CEO's, well known & respected developers, as well as indie developers, that this development cost BS is just that.

There's also greedy devs out there that publically agree with you & sell you digital items at a more expensive cost while saving up to 1/3 - 1/2 on publishing costs. I guess you agree with the idea that this is acceptable too?

[DC777]

I don't agree with it at all especially since game play time for all new offline games doesn't hold a candle to game play time back in the day.

But they are the ones putting these 100 million dollar numbers out there not me. There is such an incredible arrogance in the industry anymore I simply would not to it past them to start jacking up prices via some over inflated our life is hard argument.

[1nsomniac]

^^ Fair point.

[OrangePowerz]

Sure that's placeholder.

[Bathyj]

It's gotta be a placeholder or some collectors edition. Ebgames have a Titanfall edition with a statue for 399 Australian. That's 2/3 of what the console costs.

[cyber_daemonx]

Very optomistic for a new ip. Too rich for my blood at that price, shame really cos it looks quite interesting.

I'll just wait for Driveclub PS Plus edition.

[1nsomniac]

At £83 I think its pretty obvious that this is a pricing error.

[ELpork]

But them cars so sexy

[svoulis]

Any logical person would know this is just a placeholder date for the product. Surprised it became news really. The desperation is getting strong for gaming news lately.

[neoandrew]

If it is REALLY REALLY worth it, i would buy it.

[lemoncake]

Preorder placeholder price is higher than what the actual price of the game will be, shocker. No company would risk a low preorder price so early on incase they are wrong and end up out of pocket, it isn't the first or last time you will see this.

[greenlantern2814]

This is most likely a place holder, and not the real price

[heisenberguk]

Most games are £50 here!

[GiantFriendlyCrab]

ubisoft do not derserve even a cent, greedy bastards

[TheGrimReaper0011]

Fuck you guys!
I'm not paying €100 for a game!
It's already expensive pricing games for €60
And unless it's a collector's edition (that's also worth it), I'm not paying €100 =(

[Ra3030]

That would make it about $138.00 usd....will any be able to.....oh wait at 920p on Xbox One it's a must have and must buy.

[imt558]

How will pay 100€ when Driveclub will be free on PS+.

[sloth3395]

same thing happens here in the US at times its just a place holder as soon as it gets closer to coming out it goes to the normal price

[deadfrag]

GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Father__Merrin]

* ONE HUNDRED POUNDS *

FOR ONE GAME

Oi UBi, GO SHAVE YOUR PUBi

[DivineAssault]

not gonna happen

[Austacker]

Try being an Australian based gamer then.

We pay $100 for our games here standard & have no local servers.

Life sucks, eh?

[R00bot]

I know, it sucks. Some games go for $110 as well.

[RE_L_MAYER]

100 bucks pfff....pocket change

[ObiWanaTokie]

lol haha your a dumd ass

[bomboclaat_gamer]

you're a dyslexic one who doesn't know the difference between your and you're

[Jack_Reacher]

Does this game come with a free hooker!

[frankiebeans]

educate yourself people.
http://www.businessinsider....
you're making a lot more money then we do in the U.S. it shouldn't be a problem. better minimum wage and higher valued money.

[Doritos_Pope]

Sanctus Dark Souls Espiritus my blessed Brethren, I thank thee for coming to the Vicar of the Doradito defence! Sayeth the Pope of Doritos!
To those who dare offend my infallibility !, may you go to the Spicy Chilli Purgatory !

[bomboclaat_gamer]

not funny
