Ha! Wow.

Um...ice cream.

Made even more insane by the fact that neither razors nor lasers are common answers for this question. Destiny.

[QUOTE="bort_hurs"][QUOTE="gamerguru100"][QUOTE="bort_hurs"] Usually jokes aren't funny if you have to explain them but there's a special concession made for people like you.

Well, if you were joking, use this next time: :P Like I said, detecting sarcasm in text isn't always easy.

I am not female, I do not use emoticons.

Okay, then. We'll just stop here.

College text books.. Probably one of the biggest scams I have seen.. In which new editions come out ALL the time that pretty much amount to reshuffling some pages, maybe some new pictures..sSubZerOo

And, even more maliciously, keeping the same problems and shuffling the numbers so that people can't use older editions.

.. How are video games ridiculously over priced in the grand scheme of things?  You pay $50 to $60 (for brand new) games that may last any where from 20 to 100+ hours.. You pay any where from $8 to $14 for a movie ticket for roughly 2 hours of entertainment..  Games only get ridiculously overpriced when compared to other games in the value they offer.

They are the epitome of overpriced. They are one of the most common gemstones on Earth, yet demand a price beyond that of any other.

Only children who don't work for their money think a video game is overpriced. Given the cost of making games these days, a brand new game should cost between $100-120. I'm still amazed by how entitled some gamers can be.

You think TV's are over priced. you can get a 60" for under $1000. in Canada no less. so in the USA they are even $200 less then what we pay.

its a criminal enterprise.

Definitely university textbooks. On top of that they make the textbooks mandatory and some professors have mandatory coursepacks written by them. Um hello conflict of interest? do they not practice ethics... One of my literature courses had a $120 mandatory coursepack written by the professor teaching the course. It consisted of 40 pages of texts bound in plastic, not even papercover. I gave him a big F U and photocopied the coursepack from another student and saved $100. I do not let anyone con me.

Apple products seem pretty overpriced. I could deal with it if it wasn't for the fact that they seem comfortable being one of the only companies that completely block external storage so if you want more storage you either have to pay for cloud storage or buy a model with more memory. As for people saying games are overpriced, it pretty much shows their age. I remember in 1995 I bought Chrono Trigger for $69.99 plus tax for the SNES. At the same time I could buy four Extra Value Meals for $2.99 each, gas was around a buck or less a gallon, and minimum wage was around four or five dollars. Almost 20 years later minimum wage has gone up at least three or four dollars, an Extra Value Meal usually starts at five to six dollars, and gas is around four dollars a gallon. But games average around $50-$60 a piece. They are one thing inflation hasn't really affected and aren't that bad.
