Magnitus: Also, software has so far been exempt from the worst price excesses of luxury goods (I don't think there is yet a software equivalent to a 2 millions bottle of wine).
Well, there are NES prototypes and some very rare game cartridges and the like that go for a few thousand dollars. And Final Fantasy 7 (PC) usually goes for around 150 dollars. But apart from that, not much notable.

Games. Games are my weakness. I'm pretty good at buying only what I need with regard to anything else.

LOL. Well, I don't know why this is but beer is crazy cheap in the store, but very expensive in the bar or pub.

Now I also understand why many non-U.S. people consider the games here to be still somewhat expensive. For me, it's barely the price of a beer + tip, for some others it's a whole night out! Weird how that works.

Yeah and once everything is virtual, there won't be any antique cartridges left to sell for ridiculous prices.

Good riddance.

They are digitised too already. Oh yea, and of course the remnants of lost eras always will go for high prices.
