Quoted from merccat:I'm glad we didn't see a spike in prices with the introduction of the lcd.
Well the introduction of the LCD was BM66. I'm surprised you didn't notice the spike in prices. Since then we have had 1 game with it (with the accompanying spike in prices on all games). I'd now expect our slow steady climb to 6k for a pro beginning. Oh, it's just a couple hundred more... followed by, oh, it's just a couple hundred more.
Quoted from Buzz:Supply and demand plain and simple. What makes dirt more here and less somewhere else. People stop buying games and prices go down and so do choices. Nobody works for free. Be careful of what you ask for you may one day get it.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Quoted from Rob_G:It's already happening elsewhere. Pro prices here in Canada just had another $400 increase last month for no apparent reason. Nobody wants to pay $8500 Cdn delivered for a pro game now. And nobody here wants to pay used prices either. To me, the Stern new and used market here is all but dead now (or on critical life support). The value just isn't there with super long delays in code releases and some games not getting updated at all. I am pretty much done after I see what Star Wars looks like. I expect another price hike/gouge for that title.
edit: The last price hike was by the sole importer of Stern games.

Thats bonkers. It should be $6910 Canadian by the exchange rate. Is $8500 the street price? Or MSRP?
