Really? I could swear that the top PS1 games were around $60. Granted this was about 30 years ago when I was a kid, so I could easily be mistaken, I just remember my parents bitching about them being expensive lol
I stand corrected, thanks for the nostalgia
I think "around $60" is still accurate. They're above $50, and they still say that's the price "*after coupon".
In fairness that looks quite late on in the lifecycle of PS1.
I remember games coming down in price later on, like they were around £45 and came down to about £30 for new ones.
I remember the greatest hits (green sidebar label) ones being about $25-30
Yeah, they were called Platinum over here. £20 each. Ideal for a younger me, who could never justify full price games and frankly wanted to play the older ones first anyway.
Shout out to my millennial homie!
