Are Video Games Too Expensive?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Most of the time, yes, but I agree with you there in regards to some CE's that have been over-priced with very little to warrant it. One such example is the Call Of Duty V gift set which came in a very nice metal tin, but the hip flask seemed very cheap and nasty, and isn't even suitable to be used as such. I really don't think this set was worth the premium price

SteelBook's are generally good value for money, as they usually only cost about £5 more than a regular edition. There are also a few CE's that have been exceptionally good value for money, such as the Saints Row II 'Gun pack' which I bought much cheaper than the original RRP advertised, which was then dropped as soon as news of the recession hit

GTA IV CE was also well worth the extra high premium, as too were Bioshock (Gift set) and Fallout III (Lunchbox), although I think the biggest let down was the Halo III Legendary Edition, which I feel was slightly over-priced
