I think the issue with the price thing is that it's more the rule rather than the exception. Back then maybe you got a super deluxe for 70, now 70 just gets you the base game.
In any event: the Apple Vision Pro is one. Apple puts out a VR headset that essentially does what any 800 dollar headset does for much more money and everyone loses their shit saying how revolutionary it is. It's not.
If $70 got you the full game, I wouldn't even be as opposed to it, but it's always $70 for the standard edition and oh, also, there's $200+ worth of DLC and microtransactions to buy, as well. Back in the 90s, you got everything for that price.
Were games $70 in the 90s? I feel like they were like $40. $60 at the most.
40-50 was the standard price.
60 didn't come until 2000s
well they said an add so it could be something like ff10 delux that comes with the massive guide book or a figurine or such.
Yes.

Sonic 3 came out in 1994.
I've tried the vision pro and the quality is definitely impressive even compared to other headsets, but the quest three does colour passthrough well enough that unless you have zero interest in games and money is no object, it makes no sense to buy the vision pro.
Yeah, the market is flooded with cheap VR headsets with eye and hand tracking! Stupid Apple! /s
