While I can't agree with how protective Nintendo are of there ips and some other shitty descisions they make, $80 really isnt that bad for a complete quality video game. I can remember seing ps1 games in 96 for $40 - $50 bucks and thinking how cheap that was. Unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo is a video game company and selling software is really the only thing that keeps them going. They are certainly not the greediest company by being overly protective of their business. I say this as someone who gave up on them because of the virtual game card crap.
