I agree that there are some titles that truly aren’t worth the $60-80 price tag, but games such as the COD franchise, the Madden franchise, and the Halo franchise, in which players will invest hundreds of hours, makes paying $60 ‘worth it’ because of the price-per-hour-played. My example will be Mass Effect. I’ve invested well over 300 hours into that title. If I had paid $60, that’s $0.20 per hour played. That’s a damn bargain in my book.

Count yourself lucky. In the UK they are even more expensive. I paid £50 on launch day for GTA IV which works out at about $80.
It’s the last time I spent that kind of money. Since the recession games drop in price a lot quicker so I’m sitting on my hands waiting for Batman AA to drop.
I know production costs have gone through the roof but it’s a lot of buck for your bang. Especially for games that only last eight hours or so,
