Hello,

The next time you go out to buy an XBOX 360 game ask yourself why are all of the titles 20%-50% more expensive than the regular XBOX titles are/were.

I mean each 360 game I looked at are $59 or more and the prior generation xbox were never more than $49 (except for a few collectors games that are overpriced also.)

Did you know an xbox 360 game is easier and therfore costs less to develop than the prior generation?

Well, than why are the games for the 360 more expensive. Its simple, they are more expensive because thats what the market will pay. In case you are not sure, you and I and everyother person that buys video games are the market. This means we dictate the price of the games.

At this point we as consumers must restrain from buying new games to reduce the amount of sales thus forcing a price correction to occur. We dont have to boycott gaming completely just use some restraint and wait a month or two for the game to be avaialable as a used game.

Eventually we will win the battle, but as of now, we are all loosing to the big FAT CAT crooks. They are taking every penny we are willing to give, even if their product is not worth it...

By the way, did you know MicroSoft is FORCING developers of games to not produce games for the old xbox in an attempt to generate higher game sales for the 360?

Does this suprise you? I mean it is MicroSoft we are dealing with here.
Dont place any extra money in that monopolies pocket.

USE SOME SELF CONTROL AND BY USED GAMES. WE WILL ALL BENIFIT IN THE LONG RUN AS PRICES FALL AS A RESULT.

They tell people to not make xbox games so.. yes they make more money. thats what a company does make money. also did YOU know that they are selling 360s for less than they cost to make? they lose money on the systems thats why the games are more expensive.
