Most things in the US are overpriced
The problem with your reasoning, is that most people have figured out that DVD's, games, CD's, etc. are VASTLY overpriced.
Most companies spend about 1 million dollars to make a video game, then sell it for 50 dollars to start and rake in 1 million sells. That is 50 million dollars they take in, a 4900% profit!
There is NO other business that makes that much money other than technology-related business, music and movies.
That's why I don't like to hear companies complain when some poor person infringes their copyright or patents.
If they would lower the price, those poor people would be able to buy their products WITHOUT going bankrupt in the process.
