if you thinkgames areexpensive in the US you should try coming to the UK. Here we pay £49.99 for games. Thats works out at about $100. We never get a fair deal. The Dualshock 3 will cost £35 ($70) and the 40gb console sells for £299 ($600). Just think how lucky you are....

It depends if I see some games that are coming out quite close to each other and I have to decide weather to get one first then the second next time.

[QUOTE="hilltops"]360 Games are Cheaper :(ianuilliam

...No they aren't, unless it's like 59.74 vs. 59.99. Actually, The most expensive game I have ever seen for any system, except for rock Band, that comes with THREE specialized controllers (Guitar, Drums and Mic) is an Xbox game. Halo 3 Legendary edition FTL!!! Special Edition games should be AT MOST 10-15 dollars more, and they usually STILL aren't worth the extra.

I bought PGR4 the day it came out for $46. PS3 is more expensive. Rock Band sells on PS3 for the same price and Halo 3 Legendary is only for people willing to pay $120 for it. Microsoft gives you 3 choices. $60, $70, or $120 for Halo 3 which is not bad just depends on how importantly you view your games.

Depends on how good the game is, and they can usually be sold for £40-£50 pounds. I think £40 is alright if its a good game, but £50 is a bit much.

Yes they are kind of expensive, guess who you should thank for the prices of the games being 59.99 Microsoft is to blame for the price of the games. They had their system of first so they got to decide the price of the games, sucks but life goes on just kinda wish they still were 49.99 myself..

Well I think not,the games now have better graphics and more content and if you think the games cost too much do not get a next-gen console!

They are certainly not as bad as it use to be back in the days, 80-90$ for Earthworm Jim? Mortal Combat 2 at 85$ and so on..

I'm still a bit cautious when i see 69.99$ mark.

I'll mostly always wait until it's 59.99$ as ten dollars add up, unless a game I'm really waiting for. In that case I'll pay a bit more.

As more games arrive to PS3, the prices will go down to more enjoyable 39$ and 49$.

With time. ^_^

Where I live, unless there's a sale, or a game is older or sells badly, 360 vs ps3 games are about the same. And I know Rock Band costs that on the ps3, I was citing it as an exception, and well worth it, since it comes with so many peripherals. And anyone who bought Halo3 Legendary is an idiot. I view games very importantly, thing is with special editions, you don't get more game. Sometimes the stuff in it is cool enough to warrant an extra 10 bucks, but an extra 60-70 so you can have master chief's helmet? My point stands, that the most expensive console game ever, aside from something like Rock Band that comes with multiple specialized controllers, is the Halo3 LE.
