Hmm... sounds like a silly idea to me, and truthfully, older gamers should see why. Those of us who were buying N64 games remember them costing $60-70 each. And even if you go all the way back to 1986, NES games still went for $50 each. That $70 N64 game bought in 1997 would go for $93.52, and the NES game is a whopping $96.91 after adjusting for inflation. Source
So even if Activision wants to raise the game to $80 in the US, it still costs relatively less than the games of yore. Sure, the sticker price is scary, but the fact remains that the cost of making games is going up faster than inflation, while the actual value being received per copy is dropping. I'm not happy about games going up in price, but I can see why it's happening. Oh, and not to mention that internet boycotts really do nothing...
