Where are you getting $30-$40 for a new game in the US from? Not that it's much better, but new games in the US are $50-$60.dekkarax post=7.72531.765945 said:
U.K. Industry Warns Against Lower Prices
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Only for topical games. After months the price will drop to around that area, assuming you can wait long enough. Then there are sales and such, which could lower it more.thebobmaster post=7.72531.769629 said:
Get a job at a retailer and you could add an employee discount to that as well.
Or you could always rent it for a few days.
No, no they don't. Unless you buy them used, you cannot expect the price for them to drop one dollar until either:DeadlyYellow post=7.72531.770363 said:
1. A sequel is on the way,
2. It's been put on a Greatest Hits list, or
3. The game hasn't sold for a REEEALY long time (2-3 years may be a good number) and the stores just want to unload it.
My question is:
would YOU be less likely to buy the new game-I've-been-looking-foreward-to because it was at the Suggested retail price?
Anyhow, we all know what happens when one retailler is big enough to kick the bum of all other, smaller companies. *glares menacingly in the direction of Wal-Mart*

Turok for about $30.
Dark Sector for around $20.
Not sure about starting prices since I am unable to locate a price history. These games are for the PS3 and/or the 360, since the Wii has somewhat lower development costs and are generally cheaper. Notice it does not include sports games. Also does not include PC games since I still have yet to find one starting over $50 thats not collector or special edition. Or I may need to open my eyes a little more.
Some may be Greatest Hits but who cares since it is a lower price. Not to mention the GH version are released months later.
Also the release dates of those games should be within the last year.
Now cue the predictable rebuttal about review 'scores' and 'ratings.' Not really the point of this discussion but I'm sure it will come up nonetheless.

Comparing prices doesn't work like that.
I agree. There must be some sort of middle ground instead of either of the extremes.thecaptainof post=7.72531.763643 said:
Depends on your definition. You can't wait longer than the two weeks a game is considered topical then nuts to you.thebobmaster post=7.72531.770648 said:
