Video Games

I recently got a 3DS. It's a great console, I'm enjoying having it a lot.

But in order to be able to afford it, I had to trade in $180 worth of games and consoles. And now I'm looking at game prices and realising the only reason my brother and I had games for our DS as cool and as recently released as we did is because our parents brought them.

I want a brand new copy of Nintendogs. It's going to cost me $50. The game came out soon after the console did- at least a year, if not two years ago. I brought a game today for $59 which was released today. And the $50 price is in one store- another wants $68 (the same store actually, that I brought the game today in).

I'm trying to find the logic here. I'm failing. I thought prices decreased as time passed...
