I keep waiting on this to happen. With each new generation I expect to see a 5-10$ increase but it never happens.


You sure about this? I may very well be wrong here, but this is what I'm remembering. PS1 games were roughly $40 new. PS2 and Xbox were roughly $50. PS3 and 360 are roughly $60 new. Like I said, I may very well be wrong here, but that's what I'm remembering.

And the reason these older games were so expensive was the cartridge. Once they got away from that cost went down.

I remember most SNES games being 49.99 for some reason.

Yeah I just looked up the original Halo and it was 49.99. I guess next gen consoles will get into the 69.99 range.
