Will the prices of games ever come down?

Topic. $50 is a lot to pay for one game.

I doubt it. Some games dropped to $40 this year (ESPN baseball for example), but I think that since the market for gamers is so big and companies know they'll get sales at $40-$50, they might not drop the price below that.

One of the things I am liking about XBox is that a lot of it's really good (and recent) games have already dropped to $29.99.

Project Gotham 2, Crimson Skies, Morrowind, and others are only a few months old are are already reasonably priced..

I think software will stay at the 40-50 dollar price point, but the consoles themselves wil get much cheaper to own in the future. These companies (mostly Sony and MS) don't make much off of the hardware and in MS' case actually lose money. Getting a userbase installed is their #1 priority.

<font color="teal">I'm sure they'll go down, little by little. I'm talking very little at a time. I've seen some N64 and PSX games for around $30 still! </font>
