If this were to happen, I think most of my gaming will be done handhelds where games will cost half that.

I mean, I can deal with $60 for a console game, but $100? No, fuck that.

Add me on Steam

its not that hard with 100 dollars here in australia. You just cant get every game. and get one maybe once an fortnight like myself.

see i really want to get homefont but because of the price (not even steam helps) i have to wait up to an month and import in. Its the price i have pay in order to save for socom 4 and Portal 2 releasing in the same period which i dont want to wait.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

What a moron. It won't happen.

I've never bought games so cheap as in this gen. At least over here in Europe there's bargains to be found everywhere even on brand new games and they drop in price extremely fast (weeks rather than months).

So the trend is towards cheaper games, not pricier.

He was talking about recommended retail prices, so what you just said is completely missing the point.

No it's not missing the point. The guy is talking revenue and higher average selling price, when the actual trend is going towards lower average selling price.

Some games are already around that price after DLC.

It's just that simple.

If we want gaming to be taken seriously, then we all have to pay the price. Gamers, publishers and console manufacturers alike. Gaming should not be held back by money concerns.

Youre sarcastic right?
