I'm Canuckian, so our prices are *slightly* higher up here - maybe an additional $5 to $10. So this reflects that somewhat:

$20 -- Actually, I like this price point. I am willing to take a risk on this price point if the game looks good from the box art and synopsis. I'll buy this price point without "research".

$30 -- If it got decent reviews, and is a genre I enjoy, then this price works for me. If the game looks REALLY good by the synopsis/box, I may purchase without research.

$40 -- Same as $30, but I'm a bit stickier on how good the review/word of mouth is. Definitely would not buy without researching, no matter how good it looked.

$50 -- This is the price I expect to pay for a game that I've really been waiting for, or a sequel to a game I absolutely loved. Definitely would not purchase unless I knew it was something I was going to enjoy.

$60 -- There are a few - VERY few - developers that I would pay this price for. Working Designs does such a great job with their releases that this price isn't even an issue for them. Hell, I've spent over $100 on their game and strategy guide, and would again! Honestly, if Blizzard charged $60 for their games, I would pay it as well. I just know that I'm going to get my money's worth out of their games - and then some! Diablo 2 saved me a small fortune because that's all I played for a few months - and didn't buy one other game during that time.
