$5 off coupon for various games at TARGET (b&m)

Man I just can't stomach paying more than $20 for a game. Its highway robbery! I don't condone piracy but its just INSANE how much games cost. Think about it. Take an average american, accoding to the 2000 Census they make $20,000 per year. Now that's only $1666.7 per month before taxes, and roughly $1200 after taxes. Now that means only $300 per week to spend on EVERYTHING. So $50 for a video game is 1/6th of that person's income for the week! How does that make sense!?! Now assume that they want to stay current on their rig, $100 per month making it $1200 per year! Someone please counter argue because I just can't stomach it any longer!!!

Spend a buck or two of that $300 on a jar of vaseline, and it won't be as painful...

I can afford the 50 buck game but will not buy it strictly on principle.

I do believe that many new videogames are in fact works of art.
