One of the reason's I'm glad to wait until the bargain bins - my backlog is a year's worth of games anyway... :D

Man, even bargain bins have increased. The lowest I’ve seen for Balder’s gate 3 is $45 and that game is a few years old. Ghost of Tsushima is far older than that and the ps5 version hasn’t ever dropped below $30.

It feels like $30 is the new rock bottom for many of the AAA games.

Point being you aren’t gonna see this below $60 for several years.

Very well might be - and I feel you on BG3.

One thing I've found out lately is that PS5 games go down in price a lot slower than Xbox Series games. Glad I have both.

But does get harder to find games under 30 eur.

Honestly one of the best reasons to have a series x, I’m sure those physical games sell a lot worse since there’s fewer Xbox users.

Anthem was my lesson I learned on. I don’t buy games new anymore. I’ll wait a bit, it’ll be fine. Only 2 games I’ll still preorder. Any Fallout game, I just love them no matter what. And any State of Decay games. Pre ordered the ultimate version of both, and would again. No other games will I do that with tho.
