35 Quid for a game is just too much. I used to be able to buy a game every other week, or at least one a month, but now, i'm 16, money is tight. It's just too much.

What makes it worse is now I actually have the funds to buy a lot more games then before .... trouble is, I don't have much interest in them anymore. Whereas before, I was all 'I want this this, that and this', but didn't have the cash for this, let alone this and that.

Cruel twist of fate.

You need MOUNEY? Most of us use money for games, but back onto the subject...

Why? Deveopers are people too, and they need to make some money to take home for the kids don't they? I don't care how much a game costs (as long as it isn't stupidly over priced in the £70 region) just as long as it enjoyable and lasts me long enough.

If games cost around £20, the quality would be lower because developers would have to sped less time on it to keep the labour costs down. High Prices = High Quality of Games.

No doubt games are too much. And on the run up to Christmas, there will be loads of games launched within a matter of a few weeks. Too many in a short space of time. Back in July/Aug, there were very few new games.

That's bollards.

Have you had a look at some of the games out there? Army Men. Tomb Raider 75, Gran Turismo 98 - all over hyped rubbish games - not worth £45.

Yes, but if these had retailed at £20 they'd had been even worse because development time would have to be halved to make sure that the company still yeilded a profit from them. I know not every game out there is top quality and most of the aren't. That is all I am saying.
