Here (in NZ), special editions can be ludicrously over priced, the Assassins Creed 2 Black Edition for example, when I saw the pre-orders for it in September was around 180 - 190 dollars.murphy7801 said:
However, given the amount of time it takes to finish games these days (with some very rare exceptions, generally less than a day), the price is almost disproportional to the cost of 100+ Dollars. When I lived in the UK, 20 to 30 Pounds was reasonable for the entertainment time given.
Either way, unless it's a game I -really- want, I'm down to renting can't argue with 3.50 - 5 dollars, for a 7 day rental.
I want developers and publishers to make lots of money so the buisness will thrive and they will make more games. I won't complain.
Complaining is the right and duty of all Americans, and don't you forget it!
(Plus, that seems to be about the only thing we're good for nowadays.)
And on the subject, $60 isn't too bad considering how much gets put into it. Sure, other forms of entertainment may cost less, but you (usually) can get more out of a game than you could a DVD.

honestly, I dont really buy many games these days, because of the expenses for it. Instead, I take things like GameFly or another service to keep new games coming around, and I can get the same game again when I want to play it again.
Im satisfied with it

they didn't like paying crazy taxes for tea.murphy7801 said:
They loved drinking tea. It was like crack to the american settlers.
They didn't, however, like paying taxes that went back to england with no benefit of their taxes being spent in their settlements.
At current exchange rates, the price I pay for a game works out to 65 AUD. I always assumed a significant difference in exchange rate was to blame and apparently I was wrong. My condolances to all who live in the land down under.
I am curious about prices for non-americans though. Do prices fluctate much? In the US they tend to only trend down, so do they ever raise unexpectedly in other places or is this rare?

It's $60 at my local EB Games in Calgary. It was $60 when the U.S. price was $50, and now both are $60 apparently, as it's reached parity. It's great to hear that Americans are complaining about it, but are they really? Most probably just accept it and buy it. You just hear the loudest people, most people in the U.S. are probably not complaining. To anyone who is, shut up.
I use Gamefly, it saves me so much money. I never complain about the prices of entertainment and luxuries (you know, cause they are expendable), but I will complain about the middle class wages. Our earnings have not kept up with the cost of family expenses over the years and eventually a single person will not be able to survive on the income of one job.
