    What's your pricepoint on games? Personally I can't bring myself to spend much more than $20-25 USD on a game. Whenever I DO spend more I feel like I wasted my money. Like on Spore..I wish I'd waited till next year and bought that for $19.99 instead of $49.99. Let that be a lesson to me.

    Up to 40 bucks. But I spend my money very carefully, I only buy games that have longevity and got great reviews.

    Generally I'd say $60.  I almost never buy limited edition versions of games, but I'm making an exception for Fallout 3.  I'm buying the Amazon survival edition as a gift for my brother, and am still kicking around the idea of buying it for myself.

    I also tend to buy games for the PC during special sales, like on Steam or Direct2Drive.

    If I want a game I will buy it for whatever amount I feel it's worth. I have no limit per se, but I probably wouldn't spend more than $200 on a game... maybe. Like I said: it's all based on what the game is worth to me.

    In general, I buy used and don't pay more than $30.  However, I have been known to splurge. *cough* Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition*cough*

    I buy most games on Steam when they're on $20.  I don't have a problem with PC game prices, though, even up to $60.  That's probably because I switched over from consoles in the past year.
