i would expect it to go up to at least $69.99 because before we got into this gen games back than were $49.99 a pop

a 10 dollar increse is what im thinking

I think they are gonna stay where they are. Markups tend to come with increased development costs and new expensive technologies. With this economy, a ten dollar make up just doesn't make any sense on the face of so many gaming companies struggling. Games that aren't triple A titles aren't performing well enough to call for a ten dollar price mark up, so they will probably stay at 59, or lower, for the foreseeable future. At least, if game developers are smart...otherwise, they'll just push more growth into the used gaming market.

How does the fact that they will not allow used games mean that they will raise their prices? How do you connect those two concepts?

I ask again why do you think them not allowing used games relates or would be the cause of them increasing the price of the games?

Wanna know what word killed this article? Rumors.. when the writer of the article used the word rumors it destroys what you are trying to say.

So once again you don't have proof, per usual

well mainly because for starters itll be all new hardware and its been mentioned backwards compatibility will be dropped

i just think the way how the consoles will be depending on the hardware the price of games will go up

at first they denied such a thing happened but once the media got ahold of it thats when they finally said something official


either way i think its shitty for any company to lie and say well everything is fine then turn right around and basicly say hey ps3 fans and consumers you are correct

Where did you hear that bacwards compatability was dropped because I heard this week alone that they are looking to make the PS4 BC?

and again I still dont understand how getting rid of used games cause an increase in price for new games. Please explain. Prices going up due to newer hardware is one thing. Prices going up because they don't allow used games is another. You have stated the latter. Explain how that works please.

prices of the games depends on development cost. development of the games. reason why games are higher now because developers are so focused on GRAPHICS that their cost for a game is ridiculously high as opposed to say psx n64 days.
