I love Stadia the technology is amazing, and the gameplay experience is pretty good.. however the UK game pricing isn't comparable to what we pay for games, meaning I just can't actually bring myself to buy games for it, which surely will hurt the service in the long run. Here's the current pricing as of tonight vs what i could buy right now either online at a major UK retailer, or in a store less than 10 miles from my home for the same version of the game on XBOX One (new): The couple without prices were either out of stock near me or not available next day free postage so i didn't include them as I guess speed of delivery is a major factor on stadia, so while i could pay less id have to wait.. everything else id expect to get next day in the UK. Id pay a bit more for the convenience, but in most cases its not even close. I didn't try and find the cheapest games on Xbox one either, I just did a quick google and found a price from a large to huge UK retailer of games.. if you go to some of the smaller guys or eBay you can pay less of course but that wouldn't be a fair comparison. Im assuming this will get removed, however i'm not actually trying to be negative, its a constructive feedback on the state of pricing in the UK, which I assume doesn't equate the same in the US.
