The most I ever paid for a video game was about $75.00-$80.00.I got Dance Dance Revolution for my Xbox. I got two games and 4 dances pads in a bundle on Ebay. I think it was worth it.(:

It was both DDR Ultramix and Ultramix 2. Me and my friends stayed up all night playing with that thang. My Xbox is broke now, so I can't play it no more. ):
Stupid Microsoft..:P

That is a bit pricey my friend,and I would never pay that much for a game,I would say that the most I have ever payed for a game,was fifty or sixty bucks,and that is because I used to buy games when they first came out ,especially games I really wanted,and I would say the most I have payed lately for a video game was like thirty bucks because I ordered a used copy of Splinter Cell:Double Agent for the X-box off of Gamestop.com because they never had a copy of it in the store.

Yeah, I should've got it when it first came out for $50. I'm sure I won't do that again, unless I decide to get Rockband for Wii, which is supposed to cost even more at about $170. I can't really afford to pay for any games at that high a price right now.

I hope you never spend that much for a game again, and yeah I have heard that Rockband for the Wii is supposed to cost and arm and a leg,and I know what you mean,not a lot of people can afford high priced games due to the high gas prices and expensive food prices,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting my friend.

The most I have ever spend on a video game was close to $200 and that is with the taxes of course. I bought Rock Band for my fiance cause he wanted it. Let me tell ya it is worth it. You get a set of drums a guitar and a mic. All the basics that you need to play the game with.

I bought it at Best Buy. Rock Band now runs around $169 before taxes.

The most I have ever paid is £40 and this was for someone else. I just bought my boyfriend "Metal Gear Solid 4" and it was down to £40 where I got it from. I also bought "Dancing Stage: Hottest Party", which was £40 but I went half with my sister, so personally I only paid £20. I think that those are the only two games that I have ever bought. I am not a big buyer of games.

That is about $80 as dollars are roughly double the number of pounds, therefore half the value.

The most I've ever paid is the current going price for PS3 games at 59.99 plus tax. Games cost more, but the real blockbuster great games are few and far between.

I think the most i've ever paid for a videogame was $65-$70 and I felt kind of desperate at that point. The most I would pay now is $35-$50 depending on the game. Most of the time i'm patient and just wait till' the price drops. I don't really see the point of getting a game right away other then to maybe show it off to your friends.
I'm a collector as well, I love the box-sets of games. I think the best deal I got for one is the Diablo Treasure chest for about $10-$15. I remember when DiabloII by itself was worth like $35+. The really great thing about this Treasure chest set that included all the Diablo's was that I got it around the time that DiabloII was still popular. It still.. sort of is, not like it used to be though.
Oh, I have a site you might be interested in if you're really truely a collector. I could hook you up if you're interested? Or well, you could check it out or whatever?

I think the most I ever spent was $40 for Sims 2 shortly after it came out. I think you can get it for $20 now but I couldn't wait. Usually I wait until games are less popular before buying them. But then I mainly play PC games so I think the prices go down faster on those. We will see if I spend more money once I have an XBox or a Wii.
