The day Video Games cost more than $65 I will have to get a new hobby.

or just get them used lol

I agree. I buy almost no games new now, which is what these companies ultimately want to avoid. The success of the used games market should be something of a message that perhaps they are asking just a little more than what the average consumer is willing to pay. The industry seems to have run into this problem of gamers demanding stuff that is ultimately pretty expensive to provide. I think they should begin to offer lower digital prices, as it [i]does[/i] save them some amount of money compared to managing physical inventories. While I [i]do[/i] consider the "casual" market separate from the "core," I think high prices could become a serious problem in the short term and long term. Right now, people just don't have as much money to spend, and video games are certainly a luxury good. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 came out when the economies were doing very well. It wasn't quite so bad they rose the price for video games by $10 dollars at that time. I don't think they can do anything like that again. When Nintendo launched their 3DS, they had to lower the price by $80 dollars as consumers judged that $250 was simply far too high for a handheld. Sony has tried to maintain that high price tag of $250 and they are suffering for it. Many think that the $40 dollar games are holding back many consumers form purchasing the 3DS, in the face of cheaper smartphone games. Many "core" gamers are made "core" in their childhood or adolescence, a period defined largely by what their parents give them or allow them to have. If prices get too high, parents just won't buy the product, especially given that they aren't really even the ones who value the product (many parents have absolutely zero value for any video game). This could potentially translate to a generation containing less "hardcore" gamers. Now that's all a bunch of largely unresearched hypothetical stuff that doesn't take many factors into account, but if I were a major publisher, I would be particularly nervous about pricing.
