Console Game Prices Going Up?

Posted by michael on from the blood-from-a-turnip dept.

The Bungi writes "MSNBC is running a story that I found interesting in light of the previous article here on Slashdot predicting hardware prices will likely fall. The MSNBC piece is quoting analysts that think software prices might go up by about $10 for a new title. The reasons? Among others, more complex games and anti-piracy measures built into the media. Get ready for $60 Halo II."

    ...can make "Enter the Matrix" (on PS2) a fun, sensibly-plotted and bug-free game, well then, here's my 60 bucks!

    Defending IP by destroying access to it? That makes sense, RIAA/MPAA. Go to the corner until you can play nice!

    The last console game I bought only cost 50 cents.

    Of course, it was for my Atari 2600, and prices have fallen a bit...

    It's a sad day when we're getting video game news from MSNBC. It seems like anybody with half a credential could send out a news release "predicting" a price change and some news outlet would report it. Don't believe the hype until Sony/Big N/MS say something.
