Hell I'd go digital only (thus removing all used games) if they were only say $30 from the start. I'd even buy more games overall.

I think somwhere between 15-30 dollars would be the sweet  spot. Not too expensive, not too cheap. Could open up gaming to more people.

lol, that is far too cheap, especially 15. Even though cheap prices will increase impulse purchases games consume a ton of time, many appeal to very specific audiences. Even If I had all the money in the world I would still only  buy 10 or so games per year, because I wouldn't have time for the rest and because I have my own unique taste in what I like. $45 day one digital is realistic and fair for huge AAA titles,  whilst AA titles could come in at $30/35.
