I work at a GS as an asst. manager and I can answer this too. I work around games all day, really shitty ones. And the people that shop at my store are all from the country towns in Texas, so they always buy and ask about these shitty games, i.e. Conflict: Desert Storm (hopefully the sequel...
Phantasy Star 2 and 3 debuted at $80 in most places, and Phantasy Star IV was $100. Virtua Racing was also $100. Most Genesis games were equal in price to any SNES game.
I think it's awesome, but it might only be a rental if you aren't into the setting. It's a lot like Max Payne, complete with bullet-timey stuff. It also seems about as long as Max Payne.
I don't see why everyone is complaining about the games with no cases/instructions. We sell them for the same amount because we give the same amount regardless. EB (at least they used to) gives up to 70% less and sell it for the same price, Gamestop does not. It's not like we're hoarding...
Dreams: to Reality, a PSX PAL import. I can't even the weirdness of this game. Some of you may recognize the art if you saw it, as it was done by a semi-famous French (I believe) painter, but the gameplay is utterly horrible.

Both haven't been updated in about a month, but I've added and subtracted (mostly added) to both.
I agree, I've always disliked these sorts of threads on message boards. I'm assuming it's just an age thing, I mean, when I was 16 or around that, I felt the same way. But after a while, now I basically want a girl who I can simply stand to be around, regardless of whether or not she loves games.
