    If they do this more and more people will pirate games, if games were all 20-30 bucks I know my friends that pirate games wouldn't. Game prices are rediculous.

        Yes game prices will go up due to piracy just like music CDs went up after napster. If anything the opposite would happen. Just like with music CDs, they have gone down in price not because the makers are being nice it is to compete.

        Anyway this thing on game prices going up if anything I have seen the trend of game prices going down. These collectors editions this guy brings up I have never bought one because I am protesting that kind of thing. I think all of the "extras" should come with the damn $50 game I am paying for. Doom 3 sold, but a lot of places were selling it for $49.99 or less. I think Gogmer.com had it for like $35 within the first week for a bit. With all of these new consoles coming and with increased competition I think they will get pretty cutthroat in every way including pricing. The fact this guy almost sounds DELIGHTED about game prices annoys me very much since I kinda like a person that writes about games from the point of view of the gamer.

        "Granted, no one likes to pay more for something – especially when they've gotten used to a certain price. But if it comes down to paying an extra ten bucks or seeing tomorrow's AAA titles not exceeding today's, I think I can dig a little deeper. "

        That comment annoys the crap out of me, and makes this guys opinion to me worth quite a bit less.

            Pirating? Are you kidding me? Video games are a gold mine. They cost the fraction of a movie to make and sell on video for 2 1/2 times the price. Video games outsell any form of entertainment today.
