Guh...all the prices on this page are messing with my head cuz I keep thinking Canadian prices and I don't understand why $60 games are a big deal.
Then I realize that's like $70 CAD and I'm still like "That's still not that bad"
How many games can you play in a month? 1.5? Give or take depending on genre and all that?
I know people who spend more than that in a month on weed.
Generally addictions are expensive. I think this thread is mostly composed of addicts complaining about how expensive their habits are.:D
You're obviously playing the wrong games...for those of us who are playing on a system during the period where it is current gen, like the first Xbox for me, good games will stay high priced. The original Halo never dropped a cent below 69.99 on average and it was a launch title. Go to a game seller tomorrow, it probably still will be.
Everything below $30 these days is all the stuff that was either just an uninspired rip off of something, or a failed experiment. Period.
The problem with mindstorms was that it was only entertaining for a certain amount of time. Once you learned the programming and how to make a robot that could follow a black line, there was really nothing else you could do that would be all that entertaining. Other lego sets have more flexibility once you get bored with what the instructions tell you to make.

Even so, I don't think that's quite the same thing as what this guy is talking about.
