[quote name='moe11888']Since the cost to develop a game is less than what it is for the PS3 and 360, it bothers me that there is only a $10 price difference between Wii and PS3/360 new releases. A $40 price point for games would be much better. First party PS2 games were sold for $40, so I don't think it would be a big deal.[/quote]
What bothers me more than the $50 price point standard for new games is the $50 price point standard for old ported games...Prince of Persia, Scarface, Godfather, etcetera. A bunch of remakes with no real content added and they start at full price.
Resident Evil 4 was the only remake actually worth money and suprisingly they came out at a fair price.
My rule of thumb is I want to spend no more than $1 per expected hour of play on a game, so I generally wait a few years before even attempting most of the games that come out. I can't convince myself to spend $50 on a brand new game let alone old re-releases.
