How much??!!

Halo 3 is reported to have made $140m on the first day of release. This is more than than any movie in history has made on its opening day.

Surely this is a prime candidate for the argument that games cost too bloody much. How the fuck can they justify taking that much money and not lowering the price of the game.

I'll tell you why games cost so sodding much to us, the punter, in one word: licensing.

Whenever a games company makes a game, they pay the console company a licensing fee, which is normally a percentage of the game price.

This is why console games always cost a tenner more than pc games, coz you have to pay the frigging licensing cost.

Load of shite eh?
