$60 for a newly released video game is too high, unless it's Skyrim, which stayed at $60 for a long time for a good reason. :P It's a damn good game.

actually considering the budget for developing modern video games, and the fact that many 16 bit era titles would reach upwards of 74.99 to 79.99, I think $60 is fairly inexpensive.

For the sake of argument; what makes you think video games are more overpriced than diamonds?

Pants are not overpriced. They have a useful purpose to keep you warm which for $15 jeans can last you at least 10 years.

I've also heard Canada is pretty expensive with everything.

Laptops (specifically desktop replacement ones). Gasoline (If it can be could be considered an item), Nintendo 1st party games that are more than a year old (Many of them stay $39.99 despite being a year or so old), driver tickets/fines ($200 damn dollars for not having a window sticker that cost $100 to get? Needing to pay over $100 for not properly stopping at a stop sign? dafuq?). That's all I can think of at the moment....

It was $60 here too, and i think our minimum wages are higher... so technically it's cheaper?

One of the most complex games in history, with a playtime that can last hundreds of hours (for one playthrough) and that can be replayed in so many ways is overrated. Oh is that Call of Duty in your signature? I see.... On-topic: Apple gadgets (mainly MacBooks) Beats by Dre Call of Duty series (nothing to do with the quote above)

I agree. If you're just sticking it on your finger, it's just a rock that you paid a bunch of money for because it's rare. Makes no sense.

CELLPHONE BILLS!

junglist101
Really? I always believed that cellphone networks and internet are incredibly cheap. I mean I get 500 minutes + 500 texts for 5 euros. For a normal dude like me that's enough. For addicts, you could get thousands of minutes for a little over 10 euros. That's pretty cheap considering how high they were 10 years ago.
