What would you think if games cost $70 for next-generation...

The graphics and the physics of those games would really have to blow minds to justify such a high rate.  It wouldn't effect me that much though since I get most of my games from renting them from Gamefly.  But if games were that high in price the renting rates might go up as well.

Like I said, then every game would need to be of MGS4/GTA IV wuality.

I would make wiser choices about my purchases. I know I couldn't just stop.

Same here, then again i don't think they would ever become the price. Unless every game was like a special edition that comes with extra shit.

I don't plan on even thinking about next gen for a while.  This one is still going strong!

Hell, even when the 360 came out, I wasn't ready to stop playing on my Xbox and PS2.  I waited almost 2 years before I got my 360!

But to answer the question, I would just do what I have been doing for years:  wait about a year after games come out so that I get a deal on it.  XD

"For me I would probably cut back or only have one system seeing all games now are mostly on the same platform."

"I would stick to PC games... $49.99 FTW."

I'd be pretty pissed and rent the fuck out of them.

They already cost way more then that in Australia. Oh well.

"Waiting for "Adjusted for inflation games use to be $100 during the 16-bit era."

I'd be happy because, well, i'm presuming you are talking console games, in which case PC games (my platform of choice) would be like $40.
But if PC was included in the price hike, i'd be pretty annoyed and would cut down on buying games and download more mods for games i already own.

And when i eventually get a console (tends to be at the end of each generation..ish) the games would be a little cheaper by then.

In Australia new console games cost $120. So $70 doesnt really sound like a whole lot.

I hope that doesn't happen. that would suck.  I am already cautious with my game purchasing, and that would be ridiculous. 

I remember paying $74 for WCW vs nWo world tour for the N64 when the system was relatively new at a KB Toys. Rising prices should not be a problem as gamers get older and make more money...or at least I hope most of you are getting into careers that allow a budget of 70 or 80 dollars a month for a game.

I don't think game prices will raise again for a while. Consider that games were priced an average of $50 for many years; only this generation did the average price rise. And, hey, at least Wii games aren't $60 a pop.

Well if that happened it would be time for some robberies.

I doubt it would happen :P

As a few people have said, we already get charged over $70 in Europe, with most games selling in stores at  £50, which I think is something around $100, sucks, but its not so bad if you search around. I always type the game into google shopping and find the lowest price, im signed up to about 6,000 different shops, but I've saved a lot of money

I wouldn't buy them.

Boy people are spoiled around here.  The most expensive game I bought was Tecmo Super Baseball for the SNES... $75 plus tax.  And I've spent $60-$70 on a few games during the N64 era.

Believe it or not, it's cheaper to play games today than 10-20 years ago.

Well, adjusted for inflation that's what they used to cost back in the Genesis/SNES days.

"will play less game then usual.
"

i think that would be crazy but i thought the same when it changed to 60 too

thats pretty annying. pretty simple don't buy them still the price is down

Hopefully they will stay around $60.

Not buy them, smoke a lot of weed, and burn the big gaming companies down
