I just bought SSMB again after selling it stupidily and I was disappointed to see that it's 50 bucks in most stores. I still bought it because I think it's the greatest game but it's been 6 years since it came out, don't you think they could lower the price.

50 bucks? It's 30 euros here, since it's a player's choice.

yeah it's around 29.99 used at my local EBGames, in canada. thats WAY too much for a used game. It should be lowered to about 19.99, at LEAST. Preferably lower.

Price drops are dictated by the market though, and as long as SSBM continues to be the #1 game folks talk about (don't ask me why because I obviously don't "get it") they've got no reason to drop the price.  Why would they drop the price if people are still willing to pay $30-40 for it?

I get the feeling that some Gamecube games have gone up in price recently due to the WIi. I'm trying to buy Baten Kaitos at the moment (ebay), but it seems I'm going to have to pay more than I expected (compared to what I saw earlier last year). Maybe it will die down again after the Wii has been out for a while and it has more of it's own games to interest people.

It should be $30... which is still overpriced for a 5-year-old game. The problem is that even if it's $30, people will still keep buying it...

Thats a lot of money but it is a justifiable price. SSBM is still one of the best selling gamecube games even after a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG time on the market.

IMO a game that is 6 years old that still costs 50 to 30 new is a rip off... Its 6 now.. I mean when the BEST EVER POSSIBLE game comes out i still wqouldnt buy it for 50 or 30 New after 6 years . after 6 years it should be around $10 new... the only way i will get this game is if i can find it new or used for under 14 because im not paying that much for a old game like that

I have the same problem in Quebec. I've been told that Nintendo Canada wants to keep the prices high for this game because it sells well anyway. I had the same problem.

Lucky I got mine at the right time. Went to EBGames and they had a bin full of games that were 2 for $30. Picked up Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia. Great deal!! =D

What does that have to do with living in a crappy area?
