I buy almost all of my games used. I get them from ebay or video stores and get great deals on them. I dont buy from gamestop used because $40 is still too much for a game. unless I am going to get it on midnight release or with in the first week, which are few and far between. When games get to be reasonably priced then i will buy new ($30 or less for me) Paying $60 is just too much for me. Developers, publishers, and nintendo/sony/microsoft need to find a way to make games cheaper.

not tryin to call you out bro but i read in official xbox magazine that most games cost about $40, so charging $60 seams reasonable to me, however that being said. video games are way to expensive and i dont see how they can continue to survive when they charge prices like that. companies should be honest and have a tier system where some games realease for $60 other $50, $40, $30 and so on

The internet is for calling people out:) But basically the bulk of the cost of a video game(as far as I know) are dtermined by the people I mentioned. So the choice they can make is to make less on each copy they sell, to reap a bigger overall profit on more games sold. The market is there for games as evident by the used games sales. People just dont want to pay too much. I just wish some companies would give it a shot to see the results it would yeild. Basically what i'm saying is it is better to sell 3 million games at $10 dollars profit than 1 million at $20 dollars profit (made up numbers).
