Three-dollar horse armor, $15 monthly fees, $600 consoles, and $60 game titles: this was the decade that video games became expensive.

Here we are, three years after the release of the Playstation 3, and multi-platform games are continuing to receive shoddy ports. What gives?

In an effort to keep the number of discs down to a maximum of 3, the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII appears that it will have to make some unpleasant compromises.

If you’re one of the few PS3 owners who have not picked up Uncharted yet, and you’re in need of another controller, this new bundle may be just the thing you’re looking for. Amazon is offering Uncharted and a Dualshock 3 controller for just $60. Shipping December 15th, this could be a perfect gift for someone for the holidays.

A few days after the release date has been officially announced as March 9th, 2010, the game is now available for pre-order. Better yet, Amazon has already taken 5% off both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. You can now pre-order it for just $56.99.

Cheap gamers know to wait a bit to buy all the knew games.  If you held off buying Uncharted 2, now is your chance to dive in – Amazon.com has just slashed the price.  The game first retailed for $60, but it is now just $49.99.  Games often take half a year to drop from their $60 price point, so if you’re looking for a deal, there is no better time than now to take the plunge.

The God of War Collection, which releases on November 17th for $36.99, features some of the cheapest and easiest trophies you will find on the PS3. The collection, which houses God of War and God of War 2 in high definition, includes two platinum trophies. Since the combo is being sold for so little, which amounts to under $20 per game. Since platinum trophies are usually reserved for full-fledged $60 retail games, this is one heck of a deal.
Not only are the trophies cheap , but …
