Actually I agree with the original poster. While initial release prices are often much as theyve always been prices seem to drop very quickly. A game like Alan Wake for example can now be picked up new for under $35 AUD. It seems brand new releases are lucky to hold thier price for any more than a month these days. Not just this, but games that have only been around for 6 months or so are already sub $25 aud games almost without fail. In addition to this there's always various deals around, on both new and older games.
Slightly off topic, but I found a nice resource for ps2 and xb1 games for $2 or less recently,.... going to have to splurge on payday 
Where are you? PC games sure seem high to me, normally $59.95 on release and for 6-9 months or so after release. Certain stores like Best Buy might have a sale on newly released games for $39.95 if you pick them up the week they come out, but that is not with every title. New games still seem very high.
