You were basically buying a memory upgrade every time you bought a game. Paying for all the silicon involved, and for it to be soldered together. Then they moved on to CDs (50 cents) and now downloads (ie free manufacturing/distribution/storage). ClayGuida posted... We've devalued things significantly over the last 30 years though, from movies to video games to music to TV. Like, a 14" black-and-white TV used to cost hundreds of dollars. These days you can get an 80" TV for the same price. Too fucking right things get cheaper. <cite>DarkDoc posted [p:979037786] in Video game...
