WWE2K17 for PS3 and was $40 but that was with the After X-Mas Special's


Just googling that title that's bloody cheap.

Think about just how much work goes into making that game. Working out the story, doing the graphics, making it all work. Next time you are playing it, have a look at how intricate it is. Yes latest release can be expensive, so just wait until they go down or come on special.

Like everything you pay for quality. Cheap games with cheap graphics or more expensive game with all the bangs and whistles

You need to understand about the difference between the worth of the USA dollar against the Australian dollar first though. Do you understand what the exchange rate means?

Free drinks while gambling in Vegas are watered down compared to the same drink over the bar, and they aren't free cos if you want them to keep coming you need to keep tipping the waitress.

Not when You get stubbies of Bud they're not Wink

But yes, you do have to tip the waitress, but you do if you pay for the drink too. So same same.

I was killing it on a roulette wheel in Planet Hollywood one night and my hostess was so on the ball. 2 at a time and back before I finished the second one. I was throwing her a $5 chip each time and gave her $20 when I left. A good night for us both Cool

I wouldn't be able to accurately describe a bad night Hal, snip snip snip would be about it.

I never buy games when they come out because as you say they are Bloody Expensive.

I don't think a lot of work was put into WWE2K17 on PS3 as the PS4 version is better and where they sell more for.

I mostly get Old/Retro Games Anyway and they are not Cheap at 2nd Hand Stores now

Fair call.

I can't drink beer in serious volume anymore, I start getting bloated after about 12 so I either switch to red wine with beer chasers or spirits.

Canadian club and dry (CC & Ginger in Vegas) is nectar of the gods, only surpassed by using Jameson with ginger beer rather than ginger ale or anything containing silver tequila and lime

Here's a perfect example of why I download. Grimm Season 6 is out now. No notification from Foxtel. I have found it and it's direct from the US (what utter Bulltish). Australia is up to Episode 3 and amazingly episode 8 in the US but alas it's supposed to be direct. So to those who are against downloading, all I can say is keep sticking your head in the sand and believe what you wish to believe. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
