Gonna get this game second hand or discounted as cheap as possible. You want to know why? All because the makers complained about second hand sales hurting their game (which it wasn't).

You do realise that quantic is one of the few companies that make innovative games? I understand your stand one companies hating kn secondhand gaming, but quantic is not the company I would use to make a point.
Second hand games do hurt sales, you buy it preowned, developers/publishers are not getting your money. I don't really see the point you are trying to make by buying Beyond second hand, basically you are getting to play Quantic's game without them getting your cash, I just don't see the point. We want PS3 exclusives to sell so more are made ! .

Their games are pretty boring (heavy rai) and have pretty much no replay value for me. Buying this game for 60 euros would mean I'm screwing myself over with a game i find only mediocre, that doesn't really even play (the gameplay is not what I would call challenging, doing qte's is not real gaming) that well and once I'm done with it it's over.
these are the kind of games i borrow from friends, if I were to buy it i wouldn't spend more than 20 euros for a game like this. meaning they would never get the full retail price from someone like me, I am not their target audience. This is the kind of game i would play only once and not care about it anymore, so anything more than 20 just would be stupid for me.
I don´t know if youi guys find this weird, but i actually determine a games vallue with what the game means for me.
Also no game is worth more than 40 euros for me personally. I haven´t bought any game for more than that and that is basically my own standpoint in buying games. Either get it for cheaper from stores that sell it for that price, wait for the price drop or get it second hand.
Especially for a game like this anything above the 40 even new seems like a huge waste (40 euros is still something like $50).
Am I the only one who thinks publishers are screwing us over with the 60 euros price tags?

Quite possibly.
Considering how many developers are folding in the current climate, I don't think that the prices are artificially high. Cheaper would be nice, as we are seeing with some new releases on the PS3 due to the impending PS4 arrival. They are an exception though to bolster the PS3 for the coming year.
Unfair pricing exists in AU/NZ and South America, or so I've heard for the latter countries, but that is the distributors, not the devs.
You also went on record in another thread stating that why would anyone pay for something when they could get it for free. Unfortunately this just suggests that the online pass feature has come about due to that kind of outlook.
If a game doesn't appeal to you, then why buy it - is it just the trophies?
Well I live in NZ, games are expensive here and I don't have much of an income but I still buy new. The thing about me is that I am very careful what I lay down my cash. I only buy games at launch week If I am really excited to play them. I very rarely make a purchase I regret and since 2011 all my games I have bought are brand new. I have patience to wait for price drops if I am not desperate to play something.
In your case with Beyond, if you don't like the style of game it is than why bother playing it ?, watch gameplay, read reviews/impressions, decide if you actually want to play it. There are plenty of games out there to prevent you from spending time with a game that you might not be so keen on.

Why do people play or watch mediocre games/movies? Cause out of boredom. If I only bought games i really thought were worth it i would only own 3 or 4 games.
Also yes, publishers are asking too much for games. 50 dollars or 40 euros should be the max price for a game, for one that's really worth it. Simple games should be cheaper.

I guess that's why devs are shoehorning in multiplayer modes for every game, to add replay value. I get what you are saying when putting it into perspective of a singleplayer cmpaign, $60 is steep for a game which may have only 1 8-10 hour singleplayer campaign.

I haven't had the chance to watch the full one yet - later today hopefully, but I have seen the condensed one SEN put up - very impressive indeed.
Personally I don't watch a film that I consider will be mediocre, there are far too many good ones to waste time on ones I probably won't enjoy - still not bored with films yet, there again, I do watch a lot of non-Hollywood ones. Same goes for games, not bored yet - but I suppose each to their own.
I still don't think games are overpriced. True, some games get more mileage for the price than others, such as GT5 (no pun intended.) I'd be intersted to hear where you get the 40 Euro suggested price from.
