so i went to saturn while i was shopping.
i came across the video game section and i saw..... age of empires 3.
now i say vanilla (vanilla only), gold edition (vanilla+twc in an ugly case), and the complete collection (aoe3+twc+tad)
and guess what. ALL were the same price: 30€!!!
what the hell.
i can understand that when someoen buys all 3 games seperately he has the most beaeutiful boxes (the original ones) but that is such an awkward price politic.
i mean who in their right state of mind would pay the same money for vanilla if he can have all 3 games for the same money ?

That's optimistic pricing, even for all three games, at this late date. I haven't looked over here recently to see what they're asking.

iirc i paid around 59$ for all 3 back in late 07 which is odd considering the games cost more now-a-days

Games seem a bit cheaper in Canada.
If I converted to Euro I payed about 30E, 25e, 25E.

which idiot is gonna pay 50 euro nowadays for a 5 year old game which is dieing??? And since they removed some essential cd protection i bet if you can manage to get an online eso account you dont even need to buy the game. And it aint hard to get an eso account nowadays....

I obviously payed 50€ 35€ 35€ on the first month for aoe3 and first week for tad and twc which might explain why it was a bit more expensive

well ye my point was, all 3 (aoe, aoe+twc,aoe3+twc+tad) all cost the same which is dumb and unlogical :-P apart from the package, no difference and everybody should just get the complete edition

This is Saturn, big store, they don't really look after those things.
I guess they will only sell it cheaper if the comp tells them, that it wasn't sold since 5 years
