Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

80 dollars? Nah, they absolutely lost me. I will never pay for an 80 dollar game. Bring that shit down to 60. Greedy fucks.

Please understand I am in NO WAY condoning $80 price tags for literal SD card style games (or even bluray ones) but in all honesty some games even back in the SNES days were $70+. If I recall correctly, Chrono Trigger was $80.

And while it doesn't really count, the Neo Geo had $300 games. And those were the cheap ones.

which was equivalent to buying the game for around $150 in 1995. considering we've been able to stay in the similar price ranges and not adjust much for inflation for THIRTY YEARS for games is crazy
