And your informants, _they_ kept a straight face at the time? ;-) Possibly I'm being unfair to your physiognomy by using outside information as to your actual guilt, though...

Those are so overpriced that I gasped in "shock and awe" so great that no thoughts of other types of game entered by impressionable post- head at the time. (Roughly double what one would pay from a discount outlet in the US or Germany. Probably, sadly, not at all out of line with what one normally pays in the UK and Ireland in a bona fide actual floor-space retailer...)
Cheers,
