Software \ Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

i think it sounds cool but i hate games which have doors in doors in doors (levels in levels in levels) i suck at those games

If you look at the pricing from Australian retailers the cost of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is $74.

If you import the game it should be about $20 cheaper but you run the risk of losing hte game in hte mail as it does happen.

Thanks Kirbstar!

I have received my Portrait of RTuin for $51. I know with GBA games there is a lot of piracy - does anyone know if that's the case with DS games?

I have not come across any.

what do you mean?

01/24/2007 Melbourne, Victoria

Sorry - I meant are there pirated DS games about? I hope not.

01/24/2007 Sydney

i dont know of such, there wouldnt be a market because you wouldnt earn much money,

i mean to buy blank ds cartridges would be expensive if your not purchasing them in mass, and then to get a connection to go on the computer, its just to complicated.

and that is why the introduced M3 lite. but thats different to your question.

but no i dont think there is.

That's re-assuring. I only buy games with good reviews and my type of game. A good game deserves being purchased rather than pirated.

what review sites do you follow?

01/25/2007 Melbourne, Victoria

I like to go to:

ign.com
gamespot.com
and
gamerankings.com

I believe these are the main internet sites. They mainly follow the US release dates which can be up to four months ahead of Australia.

nice, never heard of game rankings before, i might go check it out.

I read the reviews because I can't afford to waste my money and time on inappropriate games. Of course some games are aimed at spcific audiences such as young children, puzzle games for different people etc and hence I need to take account these issues.

i agree, i go into great depth when im purchasing items,

u sure it's not under the "coming soon" section? most gaming stores are very cheeky. They put empty packages on there shelves with price tags to lure people to get a copy to the counter only to realise that it was a "coming soon" product. most often, the customers would pre-order the game. That's a sales technique.
