This is an interesting bit. It sounds to me like he's saying games will
still be $50. If that's so, then rock on. I'll be there. I've been ready
to pass with everything listed at $60 (I believe my exact words were, "kiss
my XXX").
I'm so sick of the whining about high production costs and the need for
higher prices, from the biggest, most profitable publishers (cough EA
cough). The smaller studios (who often make better games) sell less, make
less, often at lower retails, and they're not crying.
