Totally different purchase decision. The more you pay, the more value you must see to justify the investment.

Games are $60 as they usually take longer to make than a movie and provide FAR more content. So it doesn't really affect the argument, it's all about re-releasing for the original price with improvements. Movies get away with it alot, with unrated versions, directors cuts etc. I can bet you the dev time for a remaster of a game is a lot longer than a movie. 

But, the only reason they get away with it is because they are different purchase decisions. Its nothing alike... despite opinions here who say that its the same or have their own justification for the videogame remasters. It clearly isnt. The purchase of a movie is more of an impulse buy than a videogame. That is completely because of the price difference.
