Back in the 80s, I'd save for weeks to buy a $50 game that I'd beat in a day. Games often took a few months to develop.

During the N64 days, and even during the 16-bit era, games often cost $80+. It was amazing to me when PS1 games cost $40 on day one and even as low as $9. Everything has gone up since then. I'd buy a comic book for 75 cents (whatever happened to the "cents symbol", anyway?" and now they cost like $5 each.

I can see games going up in price. For what we're getting now compared to what we were happy with back then, it's a HUGE value.
