So if you have dial-up internet, downloading at 5 kb a second, you should have be refunded a thousand dollars?Ih8pkmn said:

Because if you are going to enjoy TF2 as much as everyone else apparently does, you'll get much more than 14 hours back in playing time. Much more.
That logic makes no sense, and is stupid. Have a shit net connection? Here's a $20 discount!
People with fast internet have to pay more for superior internet and the game, which makes no sense.
Unless of course, you are being sarcastic. In which case this is all useless.
I think this sounds about right. Perhaps $30 depending on the handheld (and depending on the future of handhelds.) I'm wondering how this could happen; games just seem to be getting more expensive nowadays.Siris said:
around $50 for a video game.
About $40 for a PC game.
$30 for a hand held game.
Video game's are probably the most expensive to market, distribute, and produce, so I think right around $50 is a fair price.
PC games should be a bit less as they most likely cost slightly less to produce (I would assume something created on a PC for a PC wouldn't be as expensive as the 'console process').
Hand Held games aren't as thorough as full-fledged PC or Video Games, so they should consequently cost less.

The average game should cost $30. If the game company knows that they are making a pile of crap (i.e. GI Joe), the the price is lowered to $20. If the game is highly anticipated, the the price is raised to $40. If the game is highly anticipated with a AAA budget, then the game should be $50 or $60.
The price is not lowered until five years of shelf life. This way, if a developer makes a game of poor quality and still have the gall to charge $60, it will not be bought. Instead the highly anticipated titile will continue to sell at the high price. I say this because I bought UT3 at $60 and withen a few months the price dropped to $20. That is bullshit.

$50.
SNES games were $50, N64 games were $50, Game cube games were $50, Xbox games were $50, PS2 games were $50.
Screw inflation, this is about tradition.
