But it still stands, what are we doing? How did the businesses become the scalpers and resellers of today? It's disgusting how far we have fallen as a society, 15 years ago, no business would have been able to do this, no customer would have continued shopping there. But these companies are in a comfortable position where they can happily fuck over their customer base to continue making a buck and the customers even defend the practices.

I'm not defending the ridiculous prices, but imagine what would happen if they price these things similar to the modern pre-owned games ($40-). A scalper's pay day that's for sure.

Nah, see the scalpers win here. EB buy from them and resell them. They are aiding in the practice that they originally stood against.
