Forza 3 and Layton more expensive in UK

Eurogamer reports that just like Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3 and the next Professor Layton have had their price increased by the publishers.

“Whether planned, or a case of jumping on the popular franchises bandwagon, we have seen Microsoft increase the price of Forza 3 to £49.99 and Nintendo increase the price of Professor Layton [and Pandora's Box] to £34.99,” ShopTo boss Igor Cipolletta told us. “I sincerely hope that not all publishers will follow this lead.”

“The price increases that some publishers think the market can stand are, to say the least, a worrying trend, and appear to be more than just a result of currency fluctuations.”

Still cheaper than the games in mainland Europe. Still ridiculous and unneccessary.
