I'm okay with the prices simply because I wait until there's a sale to buy what I want. I don't really pre-order games anymore and I don't like paying the full price when I know it'll go down over time. Yes, prices can get a little steep. But, a lot of people are willing to pay, what I consider a ridiculous amount, for these games as soon as they come out. I get it though. I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL for Animal Crossing... So I can't really judge. ~sighs~
I just got my first expansion (GTW) in the last sale and haven't touched game or stuff packs yet. I'll be waiting for the next sale, obviously.
