Sure, but there are plenty of great games available for less than $50. And if you can wait a year; you can probably get today's great game for significantly less than $50...

I know some super financially conscious folks who purposely stay one "Game system behind". Nintendo Switch is coming out? Buy a Wii U and collect games for super cheap. Hour of entertainment at a fraction of the cost.

Just don't buy more video games than you can play. Buy it when you actually intend to play it. Don't buy three $60 games on release day all in the same week. Buy one, wait until you have completed it before buying another. The price usually will have gone down for the others by the time you get around to them, if ever.

Most of them are just as enjoyable, if not more so, when you wait for the price to drop and the bugs to be patched, though.
