About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6994 DaysIf Microsoft adopts this strategy by making games in North America and Europe cost this much, then it would be an effective way to combat the PS3 and the Wii whose games will be priced probably at around $60-$65.

Since 6712 DaysAlso....whats very smart....its tapping into the obsessive nature of petrol heads....for example if a car I worship isn't in the game....and they release it for a price i as the obsessive fan will HAVE to get that car.....And the opposite applies...as it has done imo for PGR3....if the car pack doesn't have anything I want...i won't buy it....
Great stuff from atari....gonna be a great game.....I've got this sneaky suspicion that europe might NOT get the same price cut....but we'll see :D
