Video games are too expensive nowadays

>video games are too expensive nowadays

Literally no one says this outside of poorfags and third worlders

Who are you quoting?

Only the poor and casuals tell this.

but think about those poor austrailians

>Poor
Nah, they have a higher minimum wage so it balances itself out

That Madden '97 would be nearly 100 bucks in current dollar value.

Taking inflation into account, a dollar in the 90s is equivalent to two dollars nowadays. Double the prices on the picture and you have the idea how much they would cost now with our current purchasing power.

$140 for NBA Hang Time. Bargain.

So 90% of Sup Forums

Must have been horrible in US. EU SNES is superior in every way

NoA decided to have their own design so the console and gamepad looks more like a VCR and less like a toy. Just like the American Genesis.

Also it looks like that picture is from pretty late in the snes' lifespan (it shows DKC3) so it is probably after a couple price drops too.

The carts were expensive as shit. Same with N64.

PS1 and Saturn had games at 40 and 50 because CDs were way cheaper

>60 dollars in 1997 is now 90 dollars in 2016.
>2016 games are 60 dollar base and 30 more for season pass to get the whole game

>there will never be a time like this
>you will never be a pioneer by getting something as outlandish as a camcorder, VCR or even a discman.

fuck.

Which makes the console only $260 and first-party controllers only $30. That sounds awesome. $120 for a game on the other hand....

...

>double
Not quite. That's probably in 1996, so it's closer to 50-60%.

Why aren't you paying $3500 for a HDD to store that image on user, you fucking hypocrite!

God, I miss the 90's.

but they have lower median wages, higher cost of living, and lower purchasing power so it manages to unbalance itself again
