I have never heard of a $60 computer game. Am I becoming nostalgic?

A PC game lists at $60 if its gone gold--I remember Civ4 was $60 after it won tons of awards and went gold. As far as H2V being $60, there is no actual evidence to it. (Oh, and for those who are bent on proving me wrong, Amazon, Gamespot, and all those other websites teeming with word on H2V is not official if it's not from Microsoft, Hired Gun, or Bungie.)

Assuming that H2V hasn't gone gold yet, it wont be $60, correct?

I doubt it will sell over one million copies, so, no, you won't have to pay $60.

Fifty bucks at most, sixty dollars if it's a special edition or something of that sort.
