I owned a SNES. $60 is ridiculous.

The average game seems to be about 10 hours long, which averages out to about $6 per hour of entertainment. Not worth it unless the game has legs (like online multiplayer).

Bullshit. I bought Chrono Trigger for $92 after tax (among many other crazy expensive SNES games, but CT was the highest), and I still bitch all the time about the $60 price point.

Meh. I will pay 60 bucks. I will pay 70 for CEs. Big shit

And we all pay the price (literally).

I am gainfully employed.

If you don't want to pay the price, don't pay it. Best way (only way) to have your 'voice' heard.

Bingo.

"And we all pay the price (literally)."
You guys waste 250 dollars on a Wii to water down gaming, I will waste 10 dollars more to get a game.

$40 is too much.

Where in the hell can you get a better deal than $6/hour of entertainment?
