Right again, with GTA:SA as an example it works out as just over £42 which is £2.01 more than what we pay, no huge different buddy, we're pretty much in the same boat.

I guess so. Either way, $60 feels lighter on the wallet than $100 does does.

And the Aussie Dollar is getting stronger. So far we make 76 US cents per dollar. So soon enough, we'll be paying more.

I bought a N64 recently, and it cost me £12.
Super Mario 64 cost £5.

If I wanted Paper Mario from the same shop (not the GC version, but the original N64 one), £50!!!!!

How about that for a game that came out 4 1/2 years ago

When I traded it in about two years ago I got $20 for it :).

http://www.ebgames.com , games will cost $60 for next generation games. Type in Perfect Dark Zero, Halo 3, or Gears of War, or Madden 2006. All Xbox 360 titles costing $60.

Rares entire development team up and left after the takeover :P

Funny, I don't remember ever seeing $60 N64 games. o_o I think the only game I ever saw that cost more than $50 was Pokemon Col. (I believe). Where do you live? o_0


I don't even remember seeing any N64 games above $45. Eep. o_o

And around here, most games I see aren't up to the $60. The highest I usually see are $50.

And, I laugh.

Aww, poor Americans, paying more for games but still significantly much less than the rest of the world.

Life's hard

Seriously though, games you play for upwards of 60+ hours before beating? Worth 60$
That's like, 1$ an hour!

Hmph. You think you're soooo special! Well, we all gotta pay to play, so there. Besides, there are still good games cheap. And it's not like I can't wait at all.
