Xbox 1 tidbits

Has MS said anything at all about lowering game prices? I'm more interested in your proof.

Games can sell for less now that developers are actually getting sustainable revenue. And even if it retails for $60 still, that's a miracle in itself because it's the exact SAME price we were paying for games back in 2001. And games in 2001 weren't nearly as high budget as they are now.

Did I not post a link discussing said game prices? Even if it wasn't directly from MS its still not from my mouth. You posted shit and nothing more than that.

Pretty sure the norm for new games back in the PS2 generation was 50 bucks, not 60.

I remember GameCube games retailing for $60, and when the Xbox first came out, I remember buying games like Indigo Prophecy for $60.

Games now are probably 40% better and more expensive to make than they were back then.

I'm going to really dig Skype on Xbox 1. I have friends from Soul Calibur on Dreamcast that I'm still in touch with in other states that I haven't seen in years. It will be fun to catch up and see their families then switch right over to beating that ass in SC ,:)
