Console games have always been overpriced haven't they?

I mean, i could go down to Office Max right now, and they'll have a display of games that cost $5-$10 dollars that were "Best game of the year" candidates a couple years ago.

I blame the jump to 60 for liscensing fees. Or something. I can understand it for the PS3, since the PS3 is a pain in the ass to code for, but the 360 is similar to a computer... which often has much higher graphical standards yet still comes out at 50.

Meanwhile i've heard the Wii has the lowest liscensing fee.

Well that and places like Steam don't have as much distribution costs so digital distribution will always cut prices faster... unless artificially kept high by threats by retail chains.
