i dont understand why people complain so much about arcade prices when in the old days people would shell out $40-$60 for the same amount if sometimes a lot less content than what arcade games have to offer today its just kinda silly i mean i understand from the consumer perspective but if you want more games developers have to make at least a small profit. just my opinion. no disrespect to anyone.

Cool, but you know that was in the past when that was the norm. These days games have the space to be a lot bigger, and those that don't try to take advantage of that shouldn't be full price.

but the most ive seen an arcade game cost is $15 which really isnt much compared to a full retail game.

It never really bothered me at all.

Rip off DLC is a diffrent story. (Looking at you Assassin's Creed II)

15 bucks is just way to much for most of these games. 10 bones is more of a nice price. Even when we count DLC 15 is just to high imo. I mean 15 bucks for something like COD map pack wth. Personally for me 10 bucks is the sweet spot.
