This is true for sales tax but I don't think it's true for the price of a game. I mean, if a game costs $20 at EB in San Francisco, doesn't it also cost $20 at EB in New Jersey?
But I agree about the dollar not going as far. My last year in college (1999) I paid $1000 for a 4-bedroom apartment in Providence. I swore to myself I would NEVER pay more than that for an apartment. 3 months out of college I signed my lease on my first place in SF - $1200 for a studio. :eek: Housing prices have gotten better in the past few years, but other cost of living stuff has stayed the same...

ps Cap'n Blondebeard, where in Cali are you?
ps2 To get back on topic - good buy on the used game, Coop! I hardly ever buy new anymore unless I'm getting a REALLY good deal (like Missing for $10 the other day at Circuit City). But I am usually buying older games, too. I am willing to spend a little more for new ones just so I can play them while they're still relatively new...
