I agree, but those aren't 'entertainment' products that are just disposable experiences. Games are, and they compete with other cheaper entertainment. I dunno about you, but I can get 100's of hours of use out of a music cd I like, which is more than any game I've played except Morrowind, and CDs are what, $15?
It takes alot less money to make a CD than it does to make a game, as long as you're not counting marketing.
In the end, it's all about what the market will bear, and apparently the market will bear $50 games, because gaming is the fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry.
sorry, EThugg, i've tried to hold this back for a while now, but here goes:
everytime i see your avatar, i get nauseous.. if that's what it was meant to do, then i guess it worked.. :\
i mean, the poor guy just looks like an ass.. aren't there any other pictures of him you could use? Like, maybe from a much further distance?
The first time I saw it, I thought it was Dennis Quaid.
I am in concurance. Try UGP; there are tons of good pictures of him there.
Well, that's cheap compared to prices over here, in NYC. They get like 6 bucks just in tax slapped on. A box cost around 7.50. My mother, however, imports cartons from www.Yesmoke.com (switzerland) for 13 bucks a carton. If anyone smokes, go there, now!Quote:

I bet the game markets ceiling is still lower than the other industries. I'm so freaking impressed a industry that's much newer is growing faster than established markets that don't need to grow. :rolleyes:Quote:

Don't know about the rest of Europe, but London is quite expensive in most cases... I feel for them.
