"NASCAR 2011" on tuesday of this very week, I paid $60. It's the first game I've ever bought at-launch for my PS3. Everything else has been $20 or under. I'm a relative late-comer to the system so I have lots of cheap stuff to catch up on! I love bargain shopping for games and finding rare-bird resales... It's a hobby within a hobby for me.
Mines £55.00 on Beowulf when I bought my PlayStation 3. It still hurts to look at it.

Ouch.
For me, it's rather embarassing. I got Fallout 3 GOTYE for $40.00. Bought a copy for my friend for $30.00 and kept it after realizing I had lost my copy.
So that damn game has cost me $70.00 so far and I haven't even played it yet. Sigh.
On the flip side I bought Disney Sing Pop Hits at Wal-Mart for $1.00 and traded it in at EB games for $30.00 when I picked up MvC3 - so it all works out in the end.
-$99.99 Grand Turismo 5 Collectors Edition -$59.99 Castlevania Lords of Shadow Limited Edition.
Other than that I've probably never paid over $50, if I get a "full price" game it's typically with a "gaming coupon" or with some $20 pre-order gift card bonus that I use towards other games. Usually I stick with the $19.99 or less older games, but lately I've been getting a few more brand new games.
I typically try not to pay full retail for any game. 60 dollars is simply too much, but I have spent that amount on a few games, namely Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 and Final Fantasy 13. I bought them full retail because I thought there was pretty much no way that they would suck. But obviously I was wrong about a couple of them.
Most recently I got DeadSpace 2 for £38.97, & I must say, its the best value new game I've ever bought. Forth consecutive play-through, thats unheard of in this house. Saying that, San Andrea rattled up over a 200 hours of gameplay with mates & that cost £45 back in 2003/4 ish.
Uncharted 2 I spend £42 and it wasn't the collectors edition it was just the standard edition. I only spent that much on it because I wanted it a day before the UK release.
59.99 for Nascar 2011 yesterday and for GT5 when it was launched. I normally don't spend over $20-$25 for games, but wanted these right when they came out.
$60 but if i preorder i ussually do off of Amazon and get at least $10 toward anouther video game, and if i dont preorder the games are usually $55 or cheaper on amazon after release date.
£44.. MW2 and boy do i regret buying the piece of rubbish the only redeeming factor was the single player which was too short... if MW and MW2 campaigns were on one game it would still barely be a passable length.
$60 for Bayonetta with pre-order bonuses from a UK site.
...and then $60 for the Xbox version, just to get the UK pre-order bonus from a different site.
(Both pre-order bonuses were basically the climax edition that was sold in New Zealand, but way cheaper.)
...and then again for $20 on Xbox because the UK Xbox version I got wasn't compatible with the Xbox I had just gotten, and I wanted to play the better version of the game.
