Sometimes I feel like the crazy one for remembering when games were £35 new. Then they pushed it to £45, then £50 with some £60. It always came with bulshit reasoning.

Same with controllers only with no reasoning. Brand new official PS2 pad? £20. PS3/360? £40-50, wired 360 pads were in that band too so it's not like the price hike was wireless 'tax'. Steam pad was a comparative steal during the discontinuation sale.

To this day, I am still flat-out unwilling to pay more than that £35. The last new game I actually found at that price was RE2R and it wasn't worth it. In fact, I probably paid more for the original because of the pre-order and the included memory card (store deal, it was gold, still have it).
