The reason I seldom buy new games at release is because the $60 price point is way too much for me. I understand why publishers have to do it but the economy isn't currently built to sustain that price point. Obviously some companies are doing better than others. I remember during the PS1 days that you could actually get new release games for free by trading in three or four used games at EB. I miss those days. But as long as two new release games total $120 then I won't be buying many new releases.
