It's a bargain comparatively in fact.
Super Mario 64 came out in 1996 for $60. Adjusted for inflation in "today money" that is about $125.
To do the inverse, buying a game today for $80 would have been less than $40 in 1996.
Now don't get me wrong, Super Mario 64 was (and still is) incredible in 1996. But for the price of games to stay effectively flat at $60 (<$30 in 1996) up until now with talks of it jumping to $80 - and we've been getting games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption and and and... We're overdue!
