It's really sad, because if you calculate in inflation, videogame prices have fallen since they were first introduced. I may have mentioned this in this thread already, but an NES in 1983 would cost over $400 to buy today. Now, you get a 20 GB HDD, ethernet port, wireless controller, HD capable video output, DVD player, music player, etc. all for $400. The original NES could play games. That's it.
