Great so what you're trying to say is Sony is screwing the Americas?

They are selling those for €29 but €29 is almost as much as $59.
29 Euros = 38.35 US Dollars
59 Euros = 78.02 US Dollars
Conclusion: They are screwing the Europeans..

I think it is more about people paying for quality vs the crappier games that people "expect" to be sold for less. And mind you everyone one of those games sold more than 2 million with the exception of Heavenly sword and ratchet and clank, so I guess the price barrier is not preventing these games from being more than profitable. |
Halo was the only valuable game on the Xbox until games like Shenmue 2, KOTOR, and Jade Empire came out. You have to remember that. If Halo wasn't there what game would they make full profit off of?
It's not all bad. Here's a few deals I spied just yesterday. Battlefield: Bad Company-$20, Army of 2-$20, Mirror's Edge-$35, Burnout Paradise-$20, Unreal Tounanment 3-$12, Bioshock-$30, Ninja Gaiden Sigma-$20, Prince of Persia-$40, Mototstorm 2-$40, MGS4-$40, Soul Caliber 4-$40. No it's not all Sony first-party, but these were all PS3 games, new, not used. I picked-up Mirrors Edge. All prices Canadian.

Where are you shopping buddy? Halo is $39.99, Mass Effect is $19.99 and Bioshock is $24.99-$29.99 depending on where you shop.
Mass Effect: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8323593&st=Mass+Effect&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1175389260343
most of them can be found on ebay for less than $30 anyways...

But that has always been true: we pay €1 per dollar, but taxes are included. Was the same with the PS2, it's the same on hardware, etc.
Plus, there's always Amazon UK :) Platinum titles are £19.99 = $29.71 (before any amazon discounts, of course)
i saw R&C at blockbuster for $19.99 brand new..... i really think that its the retailers not sony

Thank you for beating me to it. I was going to respond to him.

Blockbuster has most of the games they sell on clearance since they're getting out of the gaming business. I picked up GRID for $19.99 last week.
