apriorion Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 So hyped. If this is like a continuation of the LIVE 16/18 jams, I'm going to be beyond stoked. Really love the big announcement/release only a month later deal. Wish more shit was like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have added "historically", since exchange rates fluctuate all the time (and probably back when this was instituted, the JPN exchange rate wasn't as favourable...

Yes, that's why I was asking if it's a contractual thing with the distributor because it seems like a kind of a relic at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, until the exchange rate (inevitably) shifts the other way... plus, just because the JPN exchange rate you're seeing right now doesn't compare to what it's being sold at retail in Japanese stores...

Lol, big compared to the population, but other European nations have high prices for CDs also. To my knowledge for example France has similar prices.

Joyrex Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 For example, I used to buy video games from Japan back in the 90's (yeah, I'm old) and we easily paid 10-20% more for an import than any US equivalent game (Strider on the Genesis/Mega Drive was sooo worth it though).

Well, the video and computer games prices vary still a lot even with digital distribution. If you want PC games for half the price what is usually paid then get a Steam account based in Russia.. And the poor UK guys paying the same numeric amount in UK£ as US buyers pay in dollars or mainland Europe buyers pay in euros. Although I'm not sure how much the last one is still a thing.. But CD prices are just like a couple of USD/€ here or there. What do I care anyway, I can just get the extra track anyway.. 🏴☠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
