Games and Gaming SYstems cost too much! | Forums

i dont know how these game companies think, but how did they get to say that new games now cost 60$instead of 50. u might ask me, but sammy boy, thats only a 10$increase but thats when it may start.10buck increase one year and the next might be another 10bucks. just like gas prices. are there no regulations to say how much a game and system must cost? i dont think there is. what do u people think?

I must admit, I am also pretty annoyed about the game price rising. $50 seemed alright at first, although it took a bit to build up 50 dollars to get one game but 60 maybe even 70 dollars is now nearing the 100 mark. I once heard that some ps3 games would come out to about 80 dollars but I think thats just a rumor. still, it's gonna be tough in this digital age of ours.

Wii System - $150-$250
Wii Games - $40-$50

Xbox 360 - $300-$400
Xbox 360 Games - $50-$60

PS3- $500-$600
PS3 Games- $50-$60?

There's basically a console for every level of income.

i guess people dont' remember back when N64 was around, there were games that were $70+. i'm not glad the games are getting more expensive, but i'm not crying about it either. it was an inevitable and probably neccesary increase.

whenever i hear someone complaining that games are $10 more, i always think they're kids and their parents are refusing to buy them games because they're more expensive. just seems a little immature to complain about a somewhat small price increase....

to clear what u just said. i pay for all of my games and systems unless its christmas and my bday. i dont understand how it cost less money to make a game than a movie. movies cost so much money. like millions when making games do not. and when the movies come out on dvd they cost 20-30$. when games come out well u know how much they will be. it doesnt make sense.

I'm not sure about other families/children. But when im complaining about an increase in cost for games and systems, its not because my parents wont buy it for me. It's because it will take longer than the already ridiculously long ammount of time it takes me now to save up for games.

costs more to make i guess, the only over priced consoll IMO is the ps3, looks like the ps3 is gunna be a "rich boi" consoll and as usuall the wii is doing its "cheapest consoll and games" thing, meaning it will probably the "younger gamers" consoll

yup. nintendo is good for that.

You might think you've got it bad. Here in the UK PS2/xbox/GC games cost â£40---$75 and xbox360 games cost $84

Here are some console prices for the UK

PS3-$799
360-$526
PSP(value pack)-$338
DS--$188

As if it wasn't enough that we have to wait 6 months longer for games

nintendo is good for new ideas, everytime a system comes out from nintendo their is always new things that other systems dont have, like the rumble feature and now the motion sensore (sorry 4 spelling, some1 can correct) and they <span class="ev_code_RED">Practically</span> invented the analog stick, that is why they didnt show their new wii controller until the last possible time, and it funny how once they releast it that PS3 just happened to have gotten sued for their rumble feature, and now they have a motion sensore in theirs too..... that is pretty MEAN of them 2 take that from nintendo, i mean i would F*CK sony up for that
