GRAW! That game is dope, but $30? Seriously?

[GraveMatter]

The pricing for these GoD is insane. I mean really, $29.99 for GRAW??? That has to be a mistake....right???

[Ph00p]

why thats a deal! think of all the money you'd spend in gas going to the store, all the money in food being up to going to the store, why $30 for this vintage title is nothing! THINK OF ALL THE MONEY YOU SAVE!

No I don't really think that but I'm waiting for some retard to defend the retarded price.

These games could be priced for $15 and I still wouldnt buy them but at least I wouldnt have a perception of Microsoft stomping all over my wallet to see just how far they can push me. Wal Mart has those inexpensive soda machines out front of their store for a reason. I hope this aggressive pricing strategy for GoD especially during this economy bites Microsoft in the ass, they surely deserve it. How much could it possibly cost them to distribute these obsolete titles in this fashion, is it retail competition that is forcing them to keep prices high or are they looking for Gamestop used sales kinds of margins. It strikes of GREED plain and simple and just reinforces my desire to spend my gaming dollars in other places like PC and maybe even PS3 down the road.

Or go to your local Best Buy and spend the same $30 to get GRAW and RS Vegas in a 2-pack (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238336&st=ghost+recon&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218065494638).

Or, for $21, get them used at GameStop. Yeah, GameStop.

While I wouldn´t mind these games being cheaper, it´s still a deal for me. Where I live I have to pay AT LEAST USD 70 for an original game...

Now I would like Street Fighter IV and Halo: ODST for download, please. Thank you.

I have seen GRAW on sale for 10 bucks new. So no deal.
