I was just thinking about the price tag of most of the 360 games. I live and work in Belgium , where a new game costs about 60 euro ( 80 us dollar - 40.5 pound sterling). My monthly salary is around 1600 euro ( 2128 us dollar- 1078 pound sterling) after monthly expenses like morgage/ loan on apartment and buying food,I have about 400 euro to buy a game or to go out. I personallythinkthe price of a new game is way too high compared tomost of the salaries in Belgium. Is this also the case in The UK, USA and the rest of the world?:?

Cheers

Well, I'm only 16 but I earn around £100 a week, so £400 a month I can earn more or less dependant on when my shifts are and how many I get (I work in a resturant as a busser) after my board that I pay to my parents is gone I get left with about £300 for the month games here in the uk are £40 off the internet and £50 street price, I belive that gamnes are too expensive if sony and nintendo can keep the prices on their games at last gen then why do microsoft have to have next gen prices.

Truth is, when you start living by yourself, everything starts to look expensive.

The trick is not to buy games as soon as they come out, and get them second hand. Once the demand has dropped, they'll drop the price and you can get them cheaper.
