Does your heart hurt a little when you pay $60 for a game? Just wondering, because everytime I hand over $60 for any game, I feel a little sad and hurt, even for games like Killzone 2.

No my heart doesn't hurt. But I get pissed if I bought a crappy game for 60$. I do a bit more research on a game before dropping the 60$.

Yes, yes it does. Its takes years for games to lower in price,especially the exclusives, but even after a year later they go from $60 to $55

Considering games cost $100+ new in Australia you had better not have problems with paying $60.

Forgot about you Australian gamers. I think I would be giving up gaming if I lived there, especially since you don't get Left 4 Dead 2 or GTA San Andreas I think.

We had San Andreas, it was banned after the Hot Coffee incident, but it was re-released later on again with the Hot Coffee code removed. I Import all of my games because its cheaper. $30-40 cheaper most of the time.

I can live with $60.
It was when it hit $70 a game that's whenI pretty much stopped buying them. That's the price for a new release here in Canada: $70 + tax. That's an average price of around $77 per game. Outrageous. I'm ALOT more careful of what games I purchase now. I've passed on at least 5 games lately that I would have otherwise purchased.

When I bought Killzone 2, Little Big Planet and Resistance 2, I felt like I didn't get my moneys worth so I got rid of them and used the money to buy games that were more worthwhile to me. I don't know, I tend to not buy every new game I see that looks cool anymore. Only getting Assassins Creed II and the last game I bought was Prototype, which I enjoyed very much regardless of how repetitive the game was. I definitely will be throwing down 60 for games like Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III without even thinking about the money I spent on it. So if I really do like the game and the length or replay value is pretty good then I'm pretty fine with it. Though I'd say games at 50 are much better. And if you really don't like paying around 65 with tax and all that. Buy it on newegg.com, I think for most states it is tax free plus a lot of the games tend to be cheaper as well. For brand new games I've seen prices such as 49.99, 52.99, 54.99 and the most expensive $56.99.

It's $70 in Canada (at least I'm not Australian). And yes I feel terrible. But I have never done it. Honestly the most I have ever spent on a game is 59.99 and I can only think of two games I have bought for this price. I just wait for the price to drop or shop around like no other.

Hasn't hurt me too badly. Then again, I haven't paid $60 for a game. The most I've spent on PS 3 games have been in the $15-$20 range. I know sooner or later I'll plop down the $60 for inFAMOUS. I want that game so badly it's not even funny. I just have to make sure I don't blow my whole paycheck on games. My mom cringes when she sees a Gamestop bag.

Not really, but when I realise the new release I payed top dollar for is crap then I do hurt a little but that's usually fixed by offloading it to someone for 10 dollars less then I bought it for, 20 dollars if it's a mate haha.

Where I live, $69.99 + tax ($79.08) is always too much, no matter which title.

If it's a game everyone likes but I'm skeptical then yeah. I'd feel like the game would live up to my expectations. If it's a game I know would be great and fits my interest then no, I would not get hurt.

When I bought 2 games at once that hurt the most. Seeing $120 going away in an instant, money that could have gave me 100 Slurpees at 7/11, now that I think of it. Slurpee or Video games?
