Comment on Have video games become expensive now?
Peffse@lemmy.world 10 months agoI always saw the higher $60 games were cartridge-based games, while the CD-ROM equivalent was cheaper. When everybody switched away from cartridges it dropped back down to $50 being the norm until around 2005-2006.

Really? I could swear that the top PS1 games were around $60. Granted this was about 30 years ago when I was a kid, so I could easily be mistaken.

I stand corrected, thanks for the nostalgia

In fairness that looks quite late on in the lifecycle of PS1.
I remember games coming down in price later on, like they were around £45 and came down to about £30 for new ones.

I think “around $60” is still accurate. They’re above $50, and they still say that’s the price “*after coupon”.
