Well if you flip the coin and it lands on heads the modern game has fantastic graphics involving fun gameplay and leaves a feeling of true satisfaction with the purchase...games of high quality sell millions of copies.
If it lands on tails you get a half baked, bug infested, rushed to market, under performing, ill conceived, cash in, with no support and ridiculous add on content. This down trodden waste of plastic is available used 3 days later...
$60 is too high a introductory price for a new game, nobody pays $60 to watch a film at home yet Hollywood spends just as much (if not more) to produce a product, but is available for $20.00 or less at day one.
** Amen to Mord if Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft want a piece of the used game market, they should START THEIR OWN BUYBACK/SELLING OUTLET.
