Not to go too far off topic, but people seem amazed at the decline in the PC gaming market, and yet one look at the game prices in those retail chain stores will tell them why. Sheesh!

Agreed! I rarely buy many newer games anymore, because my interest in them is waning and the prices are usually around $45-50 for the more popular ones; too much given the fact I think too many companies are trying to produce the same type of game anymore (cookie-cutter RTS or mediocre sequel with only minor cosmetic changes anyone?) and not even attempting to be slightly original or unique (or bug-free for that matter, but that's a different topic altogether).
