depending on what state they are in, and it isn't included in the price. That's ignorant, mate. EBGames, selling a game for $100, is probably making about $30. Tops. Compare with anywhere which sells books. They sell a book for $30, make something like $25, iirc. There's no money in games compared to clothes, books, and other cheap-to-produce things. You're actually wrong on this. Working in the publishing industry myself, I can tell you than a store selling books will typically only be making 30% of what they're selling the book for, even the larger chains.
