i really think they are i mean 60-70$ just for a disk? when all they do is download it to a disk and it coast like 2 cents for them to do that...and microsoft points to i mean 20$ for 1200 and little arcade games coast that much? i mean microsoft is worth billions of dollars so why do they half to make way more? and same with gameing companys like MWF2 Ifinity ward has mad millions off of that game. but over time games like rainbow vegas to go to 20 dollars? whys that?

Ok its costs little for them to download it to a disc, however consider all the game designers, marketers, and tech staff that spent months creating that game, Not to mention transport and advertising... so while the price is high the quality is often worth it. Anyways if you don't like the price wait a month or two till it drops to about 40...

New games are pretty pricey, but there are cheap alternatives:

- rent games
- buy used games
- trade games for others at your local game store

I don't wanna sound like a douche, but they're not overpriced, simply because:
They made it, they can do what they want with it.

I know it just sounds lame and faboi'ish, but in the end they can do what they want with it, all you have to do is say no to the game when it first comes out, price will lower, and hell, don't buy it if it's still too high, it's their loss really.
Try getting a DvD series (Stargate, for me) and think what happened on the DvD, you'd be surprised how much u can entertain yourself - just that u never try...
