Next gen games will cost $70

[Los!]

This ain't back in the day

That ain't stopping the cost of living from going up. Everything getting more expensive what may be expensive to you ain't to me. I'm gonna cop regardless no need complaining about price...basically what I'm saying is I don't give a fukk. Carry on...

It was bound to happen eventually. The price points for Genesis and SNES games ranged from 50 to 70 dollars TWENTY YEARS AGO. My mom bought MK for $75. We've been eating good in reality.

It ain't the expense. It just the fact that its video games. $70 for a non cartridge based game which was the reason for the prices back then.

Street fighter II On the snes was about 70 pounds back in the early 90's, can't remember if you got an arcade stick though?

But I would never pay 50 plus for a game, 30 is my limit tbh.

I'm not a hardcore gamer though, only usually Plsy soccer games online or call of duty and the odd game I see second hand.

They just ain't worth 70 quid to me, I'm not broke/tight, but not desperate enough to start spending 70 pound on xbox games.

in the USA my mom paid $72 for it and there was no arcade stick

and prices might go up, but i dont take pachter very seriously

Yeah, I don't think you did get a stick, that was the 100 pound package

I never could use the top trigger buttons on the snes for street fighter lol

If they do this and block used games, I think it would just make games drop in price sooner.

Aint no one spending $70 on a whim.

Look how fast some of these game prices drop now, was at Gamestop and saw DeadSpace 3/Halo 4/Far Cry 3 all priced at 39.99

There needs to be an investigation. This smells like collusion between Microsoft and Sony. They gotta be fixing prices. You know damn well that in a competitive market that should be having price wars.

I suck at video games so most of my play is off line

They've been in cahoots. That's why the fanboy wars are so funny. Neither is gonna make to many risks/innovations that the other wouldn't. They stand to gain more by keeping the systems similar.

I've yet to pirate a game on a current system (XBOX, PS2, PS3, Wii, XBOX 360).

A $70 game will cause me to have to do so.

The PS4 and 720 will be cracked eventually. Even with downloaded games.

This is why I pirate, got modded xbox 360 and ps3, and non-modded 360 and ps3 to play online, now I feel even better about continuing to pirate in the next-gen.
