Do you actually like paying $59.00 (USD) games for the PS3?

Remember when games for the PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox highest price tag was just $49.99? Why the hell did they have to go up higher this gen? The developers are making gaming a really expensive hobby. Next gen will the PS4, Xbox720, and Nintedo Wii2 have $69.00 games?

Please inlighten me on this subject, thanks.

If I remember correctly, 16 bit games were expensive as hell also...

But yeah these prices suck, and I haven't payed full price for any game I have.

well heres what you do buy wii games instead and not 360 or ps3 games , then maybe the developers and stores will work together to get prices back the way it was and you know what microsoft said all first party games were gonna be 49,99 what a lie that turned out to be as forza2 pgr 4 and halo 3 have costed 59,99 as did gears.. as for ps3s games for being a week or more behind the 360 version every time i think they shall put the price in half for those who had to wait the extra month or more for the same content. take darness for example one day i went to walmart the 360 version was only 29.99 but i saw the same game on ps3 for 59.99 wheres the justice in that they are the same games bluray has nothing extra to offer and its appearent which version is always better looking

another thing i dont get is why am i paying 59,99 for less content in games... ya i said it,, you can name any game made aside from all wii titles i cant seem to find 2-4 player games that are as good as timesplitters or goldeneye ... dont even bother telling me halo 3 call of duty 4 because i already own these games and they aint nothing specail theres 0 to unlock theres not many levels to begin with ,,

the only games i still find with loads of hours of replayability are those on the wii why u ask well because most of them have split screen play while those on 360 and ps3 lack it and whats the use of having seven sixaxis if they aint gonna make games that even utilize 4

I pay $40-$55 tops for new games here in NYC. MusashiSensi

that's usually what I pay on ebay sometimes for brand new games & used games as well.

Arn't they normally more expensive at the start of a gen? But Ithink the PS3 has a reason too though since they're not using regular DVD's. The $10 offsets the price of each blue-ray disk.

Either way I don't care. I get them for $40 anyway.

I think theyre selling games for that high is the quality of the games got better

and Ps3 is giving the people a free blu ray player

i would love to pay 59US$ for a new game since games here in europe cost about 59 or 69 euros.

euro>>US$ ... so yeah... if you feel like complaining about the price in the US, just think that you're living in the place they cost the less

Well, I look at it this way:

When Mike Tyson's Punch Out! was released, it cost $50 USD. At the same time, a gallon of gas cost about $1.10 USD.

Now, a next gen game (most of them) cost $59 USD and a gallon of gas is around $3.20.

Looking at that inflation rate comparison, no. I don't really find $59 too expensive for a video game.

I love paying $60 for games. :roll:

What did you think my answer would be? I'm guessing game prices will be $50 later in the generation when there are more consoles in homes.

One of the reasons I never had a lot of games for my Genesis. I remember Sonic and Knuckles was $70 canadian back in 1994. Modern console games were still selling for $70 here until the Canadian dollar hit par with the US dollar and everyone found out the stores were overcharging. $60 for a game is still a lot though. The discs (CD, DVD, BD) themselves are relatively cheap to mass produce. They're stamped on a press and uses relatively inexpensive materials. The reason cartridges were so expensive is due to the expensive ROM chips they used. With the amount of money games are pulling in these days (compared to Hollywood movies), I think $40 - $50 is a more fair price for a game. That puts them at least near par with HD-DVD and BD movies.

it does not bother me if the games are goodstolz1975

Yeah exactly, if the game is good why are you guys complaining? Damn, we dont really care if you dont like the prices, buy used or dont buy at all then. This is coming from someone who wasted money on Spider Man 3 (that crap), the collectors. Which was $80, you dont see me complaining.
