This may have been the case for a long time, but there's not denying that $120 (plus tax) is a LOT of money to be paying for two games. That's why piracy is so big, paying hundreds of dollars for video games is ridiculous, I don't care how good they are.

That's also why I only own two games; I just can't afford anymore. Sure I can get a job, which I will, but games are just gonna get more extravagant and more expensive.

There's nothing we can do about it but it's still a pain in the ass.

Why not just get a PS2 and have a huge selection of cheap games?

If you still want current gen, why not wait a few months after release and pick up the game half price anyway.

 

unless its a very good game, and the price is only a few bucks cheaper even after a year or two.... gruble... though i dont really buy used games but it does bother me to pay alomst 60 for a game thats a year old
