Games are so damn cheap. It's insane how cheap games are now. Final Fantasy XVI is going for 50 bucks on Steam and that's an expensive release. Yesterday I bought several Disgaea games for like ten bucks each and those are a good hundred hours a pop. The top seller list on Steam right now includes multiple games cheaper than 20 bucks. And that's not even counting all the free to play stuff and the constant sales.

There are great looking and playing games out there that cost less than a movie ticket and a bucket of popcorn. I had to save for six months to get a game when I was a teenager.
