PS4 Games to be $100?

[FoolKiller]

1. Games didn't become $60 until this generation (360-PS3)

2. That is not an exponential price hike. New games mostly came out at $50 prior to that gen. To have even an exponential price hike of 2 would have meant $2500. If you want to get really technical about it, it would be about 50^1.0466.

3. Remember, games back in the 80s debuted for $50, which is a lot more in today's dollars than what we pay now.

I don't know where you are, but in Canada games have gone down in price. 59.99 to 69.99 was the usual price for a game on the NES. Now they're firmly at 59.99. During the N64 era, they were even as high as 99.99 for Zelda and 89.99 for everything else.

Video game prices have been hovering around the same amount for the longest time. I wouldn't mind paying 80 to 100 dollars but then I want all the content, on the disc, on day 1.

Games in Sweden have cost $100 or over for a while now. You should consider yourselves lucky.
Prices are probably gonna rise, as is natural, and $100 will turn into $150-200 here in Sweden, no doubt.
It's a bummer, and probably one of the causes of the high piracy rate around here. No one's got the cashish to spare for those kind of purchases.

Haven't they already discussed the game pricing model? Thought it was staying at 60 bucks.

$100 American. In that aspect for Australia it would be something like $150 :'(
