I've found this all pretty interesting. For the record I paid US$10.50 and bought a few copies for gifting within that figure. I've never played any of these games and quite frankly know next to nothing about any of them and have no idea if they are any good. Plus I'm not a huge fan of...

This is where the problem lies. The reality is that people aren't willing to quit their jobs and have to go without just to make a point. Of course when there are so many people out there and so few jobs you can understand why people take what they can get. But in doing so everyone devalues...

I don't think it helps that most of the time re-releases are treated like B-grade products. For instance New Super Mario Bros Wii is selling buckets, yet I bet a ton of people who are buying it never played Super Mario World. I already own it on SNES, but for those that don't its an absolute...
