A strange fact was that the expected and released today STALKER: Clear Sky game appeared on the Russian shelves at an unusual price, ~ 500 rubles for a copy in a jewel-package. It should be noted that three versions of the edition should be on sale: an economical jewel, a DVD box and a collector's edition with a dozen different gadgets. In the Ozone online store you can order them at prices of 486, 781 and 1020 rubles, respectively. I am not an avid gamer, but usually most localized games on the Russian market can be found at a price of ~ 300 rubles. So what is this, a consequence of the crowding out of the popularity of pirated discs on trays, or a single case of breaking the price of a popular game? I wonder your opinion.
upd : And maybe because in the CIS often prices for games are set according to the number of disks in the box. Clear Sky seems to come on two DVDs.
