Second hand games can be scratched and in poor quality, and they still are not cheap. I really think that games should be a lot cheaper, and more people would buy more. I would definetly buy more than one games if they cut the price even buy a small amount. The best place to buy them is the ... more

Games, consoles, accessories...all much too expensive. You can afford one or two games, and then you are broke! example: £44.99 for a NEW ps2 game. There are a few games which I would like, but I cannot afford them when they are new. Yes, when games have been out for a while, the price does drop, but not that much.

You cannot afford not to read this! Well maybe you can, but lets just assume that you can’t, so keep reading! Thank you! Games, gaming and games consoles, what would we do without them? When it rains, how would we soak up the time if we didn’t have our trusty PlayStation’s to hand?

You see as the quality off the games gets higher then that means that they are costing the manufacturer more to make, say I wonted to make a high quality game for the playstation 2 then it would roughly be about £10 each but then you would have to pay for the packaging, the peoples wages, shipping etc. So by the time that the game reaches the shop it would probably cost the manufacturer £15-£20. After all that you have to make a big profit to make the task worthwhile and this is why the games are getting so costly. I’m ...
