$60.00 will put quite a sad face of many a gamers' faces. Plus now it'll be harder for kids to get their parents to buy them games, lol.

In the UK the average price of a new console game is about £40. If they're rasing the prices in america what will be new cost in the UK?

In Australia games already cost $100 a copy.
If it's raised in the US, it's going to be around $110.

That's life, if it goes up here, it's gonna go up everywhere, cause the cost of getting it to you isn't going to change.

What's $100 Aus. compared to US outta curiosity. Cause if it's 1 to 1 then that's a lot of money.
