What in the heck do Obama and McCain have to deal with video game prices? Neither of them make business decisions for Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo

They are too overpriced. I don't think I need to pay 60 bucks for a game for my PS3. If you think about it though, everything nowadays is overpriced. Look at CDs. 15 bucks each!! Geez.

I think they're ridiculously overpriced. The prices of PS3 games don't even drop with time, they stay the same years after their release. I just saw a used copy of FFVII without instructions that was 50 bucks. I had just bought one a few years ago for 15, new. Too bad my friend took it from me and lost it and the strategy guide

I too aggree that the games are very ridiculously overpriced. I mean come on, $60 dollars for the newer games. The consoles too are overpriced. I dreamed of getting all the great videogames there are to the Ps3 and the X- Box 360, but they are too expensive. Just lower the prices, jeeezz. To make a profit, I think they should lower the price, so more people can buy it, abd they will get more money.

Games are way too expensive. It's all parta inflation. Prices are just going to keep going up as technology grows and life goes on. I remember when a video game was like 20 bucks I believe...

I agree, games are WAY too expensive. And how do certain series expect to make money when the people most likely to buy them have no way of affording them? The prices are nuts, especially for games targeted at kids. How the heck do they expect kids to be able to cough up 50 bucks for PBR, SMG, NSMBWii, and all those good kids' games? Even us older kids can't do it... I've been waiting an entire month to earn a measly 40 bucks just to play HG, and I'm gonna have to wait a whole lot longer, seeing as job opportunities for 14-year-olds aren't that common (at least around here) . I wish things could just cool down; I want to play more games, and you, dear economy, ARE NOT MAKING THINGS ANY BETTER!!!! Grr ...

From what I've seen, I have seen the crappiest of games with a tag of $69.99. It seems that it used to be $59.99 for a new, good one. Guitar Hero games, used to be $99.99 with guitar and game, and now it costs $129.99 for the same thing now.

Well I think I've said it before, but you guys in the US are lucky compared to us in Australia, most new releases on PS3/360 are often $100-120 here.
Even taking into account exchange rates and such we still pay about $20-30 more then you.
I think what has made things worse is the amount of people buying video games now, alot of them have disposable income, being that they can afford to buy a game every week, even at $100 each.
Because of the amount of people like that it drives up the prices for the rest of us, because the gaming companies dont care about the consumer any more.

I think 29.99 for brand new games that have just been released is a fair price to be honest but £40+ is not at all... I tend to try and find the game i want pre owned before i look for it brand new,

You are a fading dream, but one that has been touched by reality. Run, dream. Run on into the daylight. And walk into reality.

I never buy new games, especially popular ones, since it's sooo ridiculous.
I either buy used games or get them as gifts.
