The price of games maybe haven't goes up because the games support are more and more cheaper. The NES cartridges cost a lot of more to built that the price of a DVD nowadays.

Also the volumes made it up for the price. Over the time more and more copies of a game must be sell to turn a profit.

But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

Videogames are utterly insignificant when compared to the cost of Warhammer 40,000 (not the videogames but the actual table-top minature wargame the videogames are based on).

True dat' dawg. I was just at a gas station where plain unleaded was $3.83 a gallon.

Lol, you should be happy you don't live in Europe. $3.83 for a gallon is insanely cheap, compared to prices here.

Great thread lewis. That's what I've tried to teach people for years now that gaming is a cheap form of entertainment/hobby and we should be thankful.
