Electronic Arts' Price Gouging at Its Worst

GameStooge is outraged by Electronic Arts' Xbox Live Arcade price gouging.

Excerpt: "Electronic Arts has taken out the price gouging gun and shoved it straight in your face, in an outrageous and stupid way.

Apparently, Hasbro Family Game Night is a 235MB host to buy each of the games. Separately. For $10 each.

Yes, you have to buy each game of the bundle that Wii and PS2 owners get for a single price. Considering there are going to be seven games, that means you're going to be paying $70 for something that costs other systems $30. That's a helluva price jump for Achievements - and not all of the games are available yet. Boggle, Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders will be out sometime in the future.

No, seriously, Connect Four and Battleship for $10 *each*? Someone on XNA can whip up a 99 cent clone of them, and probably make them interesting."
