that rule doesnt really hold true, not here (Australia) anyway.
otherwise the vast majority of current games would be bargin bin material as compared to older gen stuff.
but fun is comparative to the individual i spose, but fun to me is a quality game that takes time to finish, ie more then a day, with lots of stuff to do.
with hard difficulty thats hard. seriously, whats with alot of games these days?
hard is like old snes/psx/etc normal was, normal is like easy was, and easy is like, well, cheating through the game with invincibility on or something...

It doesn't hold true here really either. A new game that stinks still costs full price for a while until eventually the company says "yeah, we pretty much milked this game for all its got" and finally drops the price by $10 at a time

Get this, I recently heard that the price of video games will drop by $10 for the new generation of systems. Wii games will soon cost $40 while 360 and PS3 games will cost $50

Hopefully that is true. Lately i`ve just been buying WII games or really old x-box 360 games cause any thing even fairly new is just to much money for me to spend right now.

Doesn't matter, almost all games I buy used except the really good ones, so I only spend like, twenty bucks a game I did buy Brawl the morning it came out though, and it was the smartest fifty dollars I ever spent.

I think the prices are reasonable, If your happy with the game you bought then the price is worth it. I payed $80 Australian for Black on ps2 when it came out, I liked that game so much I felt like I could have easily payed $100 for it. Theres definately more games being produced now than ever and telling the good from the bad can be difficult, so I always wait for some user reviews to come out before buying it.

Well, the fact that there are more games out would justify that they should cost less so people can buy them

I just download the game of a site I go to and test it then delete within 24 hours to see if the game is worth buying. I read that's legal so I don't worry about it.

The 24 hour law has and always will be a myth.

Sorry to say it but you're in fact illegal.

You believe that? The money is going to the big men in the company first. The main priority of really any company is making money, and THEN coming up with ways to do that. Profit is more important to them then buyer satisfaction.

The video games that I see in stores are ok price but some games are over price because they
don't give enough story mode or have terrible graphics or gameplay unlike super smash bros
brawl or pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum which give you well over the amount of gameplay
that it costs and is worth it to get good games like those instead of wasting your money on
other games that cheat you out of your money.

Video games and consoles are way to expensive, and the people who make the games need to lower the price, and then maybe more people would buy them

With the fact that the majority of the current games cost next to nothing to make, as oppossed to atari and nes games which used to cost alot to make, comparing the current costs to the previous costs is pointless.
Thos old games would cost alot to design and manufacture so the cost was warrented in my opinion.
While the current games cost very little to manufacture and design.
