[PS3] Playstation 3 games costing between $59 and $99?

Am I the only person that's amazed how low game prices have stayed when everything else's price has gone up due to inflation? I remember shelling out $70 for SNES games more than 10 years ago, yet I can pick up a game like San Andreas which certainly cost much much more to create than, say, Harvest Moon, for $20 less (not to mention that the $70 of yesteryear is worth more than $70 today).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Remember how when DVDs came out they were $5+ for one, while CDs you could get for free? It's the same thing with blue-ray. They don't have nearly the facilities pumping those suckers out as they do for DVD, so of course it's going to be more expensive.

Also, with inflation, $50 for a video game today isn't right when compared to $70 for a game 15 years ago. Money gets less valuable, not more. =\

Also, I never really go into the Nintendo forum, but what was the general response to them upping the release price from $30 for a Gameboy game to the $40 I see in stores now?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Maybe you just don't realize how good of a deal we've been getting the past few years.

Personally, I could never believe that they were putting out new games at a $40 price point for major releases and have been waiting for them to go up ever since (especially with the size of games that are released nowadays and the sizes and budgets that are required to make top of the line titles).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
