Amazing. We move to a cheaper medium (cartridges to cds / etc) and game prices are going up. Of course, the industry would say it\'s due to game\'s having larger budgets and having to make that money up, but come on, $80 bucks for a game now\'a\'days is outrageous.

tru no doubt...i remember payin no more than 54.00 tops for atari asteroids back in the day..and i\'ve topped out at payin 60.00 for a couple of sega\'s and turbograpx 16 joints..80.00 is just crazy...for 80 bucks that s**t had better be able to virtually jerk me off....

I have paid almost $200 for a game, but that was an import.


/sigh/

Still, I remember when cartridges was always $60 - $70 dollars and some of the bigger games was around $80.

Maybe the next generation, I don\'t think consoles and games have come that far yet. (no pun intended)

I second the Gamefly subscription.  I heard some time ago Netflix is considering renting out games too...

Netflix offering games = perfection. Any idea on when something like that would roll out?
