For example, I would MUCH rather pay 180 USD for something instead of 180 pounds.... That being said, I had my hands on a copy of Pepsi Invaders once.... That is god damned expensive.... |

The game that cost me the most (and that's worth the most in my collection) is Zelda: Skyward Sword special edition bundle. I bought it for 140$ I think, had to get it on ebay because my "friend" who worked in the video games store where I pre-ordered it never bothered to tell me they didn't get any copies, so I was too late everywhere to get a copy in any other way than online. I find it unfair to put it as my most expensive game though, since its value is increased by the controller, so my most expensive game that comes with nothing else is Xenoblade. |

Now I didn't get a nice vehicle since I use the subway mainly. But still... EDIT: Looking at this site http://www.businessinsider.com/expensive-cost-of-living-in-oslo-2013-6?op=1 It lists the typical new game as around $87 in Oslo. In the US it's $60. Is it just retro games that are expensive or was there a typo some place? Plus, games in the US are cheap. The fact that I can buy a retro game for the cost of a candy bar is hilarious to me at times. Plus, new games have gone down in price over the years. Cart based games used to be really expensive. Here is an old ad showing Ultimate MK3 for $70. This is $10 more than a new release today. I seem to remember Phantasy Star 4 being $100. I think market competition kept games low. It started with PSOne making their games really cheap. They were somewhere around $40 where the saturn was still trying to do $60-70.Then Microsoft joined in the fun the next generation, etc. |
