Do Video Games Cost Too Much? [Slashdot]

[Astrocade]

First of all, I've never seen a candy bar cost a buck that wasn't King Size. If you're paying that much, shop at a different store.

Second, as I stated above, technology things always decrease in price as time goes on. Video games don't have to cost $60, just as CDs don't have to cost $24.99 like they did in the late 90's at a ton of record chains. The sooner consumers wise up to this, the better.

I don't think he's talking about grocery stores/department store prices. Ten years ago, in convenience stores , a regular candy bar was .69/.79 cents. Now a regular (not King Sized) bar will run you anywhere from 1.19-1.29. This is in NC, where the price of most things tends to be cheaper than the rest of the country.

But yes, at Wal-Mart a regular Kit Kat bar can still be had for .79. Ten years ago it was .39.
