More absolutely insane pricing. $30 for Bioshock? Just buy the Bioshock/Oblivion bundle for $40 in a store.

[BabyJesus]

Yeah these prices are just too high. They need to be $20 max.

[Morpheus]

Yeah, the prices are insane!

If I had to play one of them it would be Civilization. That game is extremely entertaining.

Are we really going to have to go through this "the prices are too high" discussion every time Microsoft lists a game on Games On Demand? The MSRP for both Bioshock and Civ Rev is $30. And while it may be easy to find a retailer selling either title for less, either as a loss leader or to clear out stock, Microsoft simply can not sell these for less than the MSRP due to their status as the platform holder. So while it may be true that nobody in their right mind would buy these games at these prices, having a discussion about it every single time Microsoft adds a game to the service is a complete exercise in futility.

[bskeillor]

Can you imagine if Nintendo released their games on a service like this? You think $30 is too high, how bout Zelda or Mario Galaxy still sitting at $50!

These are great games to have in the DD space.

It's bizzarre to me that DD games are costing more than physical media which I can sell back to the store for tradein value.
