Pssh, that's nothing I'm a small indie developer and I just created my first game. You can buy it right here. http://www.amazon.com/The-Elder-Scrolls-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956
I've definitely seen this as well, and find myself agreeing with pretty much everything you said. I had a friend Gabe who when talking about a new game, the first thing he'd always comment on was its appearance. "Woah dawg, those graphics look sick!" While me and my other friend would wait till we actually played the thing and 7 times out of 10 the thing sucked. He bought these games without researching like OP originally, and eventually he learned as well, but it took him a bit longer and he'll still play something that looks super flashy to this day.
I can't help but get suckered in as well when a big title that I heavily enjoyed as a kid drops. Most recent example of this being RE6. I picked it up at midnight release and was super stoked that my SO wanted to play it with me coop.
First, the lack of customization completely pissed us off, it's like they extremely downgraded from RE4/5 and somehow thought they were improving the system by getting rid of all gun customization and instead having a small pool of about 20 perks you can choose 3 from to equip. (Speaking of perks, they seem to be a growing trend as well... they used to just be limited to RPGs if I'm not mistaken.) RE6's level design was pretty bad, 90% of the time it's go from point a to point b. There's tons of rooms in the game that are just for you to gawk at and pass through, zero interaction, just serving the purpose of simply being there and looking shiny. And shiny it is, RE6 is the best looking RE made so far, yet what's the point of all this awesome graphics when you can't do anything with it?
We beat the 3 main campaigns because we wanted our money's worth, and after we checked online we saw capcom say they'd release coop in a free patch (GGCapcom) to ada wong's campaign so that you didn't have to go through all 3 main campaigns cooperatively and then get to the final one and have to play single player. Awesome. But months later, we realized we gave even less shits than ever. We started it up, played one chapter, SO got mad at me for not sticking together, and we kinda just looked at eachother and realized this wasn't really fun. Haven't touched it since. The lasting appeal isn't there. What images of it left in my brain are basically just explosions, slick graphics, and overly cheesy cutscenes. None of this draws me back in.
Interesting note to end on here, RE6 came out on october 2nd, 2012, while skyrim came out november 11th, 2011.
RE6 is going for 19 bucks
Skyrim is still like pretty much 40 bucks
yes, so long as you preorder, but honestly I would guess that any copy you get on day 1 will have it, though I could be wrong. You can preorder from Amazon with the cloth map and release-day delivery for only $1 more.
360 Skyrim: $54.79 on amazon.com
PC Skyrim: $43.99 on amazon.com
That's just a very quick search, not including incredibly common Steam sales (one of the major sources of cheap PC games), Skyrim was recently ~$25 new.
I just read a number of reviews on Amazon that say the PS3 version becomes increasingly unstable and then unplayable. It has over 150 one-star reviews because of this. The 360 doesn't appear to have that issue, but you might want to check it on some other sites or reviews to be sure.

Uhm, the PC version is actually 45 cents cheaper on Amazon. You don't need a fancy collectors edition to use mods! So... I heartily recommend the PC version.

Amazon says you can get $10 credit and a physical map.
Cool game I think you should try.
>Just for reference (I know these prices don't really mean much here)
Well, since you brought it up...
BF3 Used $22 +$10 for OP - $32.
Skyrim Used $36
$68 total - so it's fairly equal.

Thanks for this fun 'discussion'
There is a seller on amazon selling it for $19.99 plus $3.99 shipping
I'll price check using Amazon.
Skyrim -$45.94 shipped
Call of Duty MW2 -$13.58 shipped
Call of Duty Black ops -$27.73 shipped
total on Amazon: $87.49 shipped.
I'll do you $65 + shipping. For the cost of one new game, you get three! :D
Because we all know you need to buy the new design whenever they come out with new ones, you don't need to upgrade your PC's hard drive ever and you totally can't install any old hard drive on a Playstation... also online play is totally $100 a year and not $50/60, games of course cost $80. Also being able to trade it in for $50 at Gamestop is so much worse than not being able to trade it in at all.
Also Skyrim for $30 is such a better deal than what the peasants have to deal with(you can get it on Steam sales for $15 however)... I bet it would cost $80 just to buy it on the console! Totally not $14.57 when you include shipping for a very good condition one without tax, meanwhile I get taxed for Steam products because I live in Washington state...
Oh and also you don't need headphones for PC of course and you don't need a mouse, keyboard, or controller for it, and consoles totally don't bundle one with it.
This is one of the stupidest rants I have ever seen, there are reasons the PC is much better than console that don't have to do with the misinformed stuff in this thread, like better visuals, higher framerates, and better controls(also free online but it certainly isn't $100 a year on consoles).
You can buy used games at more places than gamestop, for instance:

$40 just saying... http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347990352&sr=8-1&keywords=skyrim
My guess is war and my favorite game is skyrim
Every pre-order except for Steam will receive the synthetic burlap map of Skyrim. As far as where to get it, check with local game stores or place a pre-order on Amazon with release date delivery. I believe it is a bit cheaper on Amazon as well.
>So like right now, with no sale going on, Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite on 360 (just picking the two biggest games so far this year) are $37 and $40 on amazon respectively.
http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Infinite-Xbox-360/dp/B003O6EB70/
http://www.amazon.com/Tomb-Raider-Playstation-3/dp/B004FS8LYK/
Those are both "on sale", notice the list price crossed out and replaced with a sale price? That's the normal price which will drop as the game price drops. Go check out skyrim on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956/
List price is now down at $30.
>Are they going to be cheaper on Steam Summer Sale? Probably, but they are not $60.
They have already been cheaper to obtain on pc than the "are $37 and $40" prices you've listed.
Yes you can..
PC
xbox 360
xbox1/PS4
xbox 1 is the sole exception since prices seemingly raised upon release of SSE - still not even $60
To be fair, Skyrim is still going for more than ME3. Both new and used.
New:
Used:
So, that's a no on the online pass? Are you interested in anything else of mine?
Sorry, it's 50 cents more expensive. I'd say Amazon is your best bet here. It won't be on sale in normal stores for a while, and i haven't found any cheaper. There was one a while ago that had it for $46 or something, but they sold out. Sorry i can't help more. I know the pain of Aussie prices.
