All the "Halo 3: ODST costs $60 because..." theories are forgetting about three important things. First, labor. I know that could be part of the reason why the campaign would cost $30, etc., but still. The developer needs to pay the people that work for it. Second, profit. The publisher wants to make money. The developer wants to make money. The retailer wants to make money. Third, the cost of the disk, case, and manual. Think about how expensive ink is. All the manuals that are printed, the cover on the game case. The company that makes that needs to be able to pay for the ink, plastic, and disks. Also the labor for the people that run those machines. Most people don't think about all the money that goes into games. If I am dead wrong, please tell me.
Thanks,
