The most I ever spent on a game was £49.99 on (

The amount of hours I spent playing it though, I reckon I got my money's worth.

Fallout 3 Collector's Edition, $79.99. :(
And with the GOTY edition which I'm buying for the DLC, tack on another $49.99.
... I only spent about $80 on System Shock 2.

Just so you know, the first computer in the US to sell under a $100 was actually made by a British computer company:

(Sinclair Would later go on to make the (

What has that got to do with anything?

Didn't realize about the tax. That explains a little bit. Guess otherwise it's just price gouging.
And yeah, of course you can get things used/cheap, but even that seems more expensive than here, where it's not uncommon for me to pick up a game for $5.50 (including tax!).
