--- Quote from: Moviefan2k4 on July 30, 2012, 07:29:23 PM ---I read his statement all the way through, but the fact that anyone would pay such a price for a video game is absurd to me. I think the most expensive retro games I own are "Super Metroid", and "Ocarina of Time", each being $20. --- End quote --- The fact that you cry and moan so much about anyone paying more than 20 bucks for a game is absurd to me. So maybe we can just agree to disagree and keep it too ourselves from now on, eh? |

On average, I could probably get between 7 & 10 Blu-Ray movies for $100, maybe even more...so anyone spending the same amount on a 20-year-old game cartridge sounds very foolish to me. --- End quote --- but supplys of sealed/mint copies of, clash of the titans, for eg. on blu-ray are high, more than enough to meet demand, whereas supplys of, DKC compitition, for eg. are low, so prices for the blu-ray are going to be lower than the price for the cart, even if it is 20 years old... |

Regarding the $100 Chrono Trigger and NBA Hangtime, I do happen to live in Canada, and when those games were released, our dollar was quite weak (unlike today, we were only getting 75 cents on the American dollar) so I imagine that has a lot to do with the inflated prices. When I first spotted Chrono Trigger, I was priced at $99. I was forced to rent it first in order to ensure that I liked it before we dropped the $100 on it. |

I'd get way more enjoyment out of Lunar 2 than I would out of 7-8 Blu-rays. Plus Blu-rays will most likely drop in price and won't become collectable for a long time, if ever. To each his own I guess. |

Is it just to antagonize people? --- End quote --- Not at all, but the way I figure it, if folks are willing to mention how they pay tons of cash for a game, then I should have the same freedom to make my stance known against it. Even if I had $100 or more to spend on each game I wanted, I'd still look for the cheapest deal; its called being sensible.

How would you like it if we all replied sighting a decision of yours as "absurd" or "foolish"? People pay more than 20 bucks for games sometimes. Get over it. |
