Actually, it is fairly hard to find a single CD going for $18 today. Five years ago that might not be the case, but today, most CD's are listed easily under $15, and they are priced under $10 when on sale. As for new released video games, illegal price fixing is not the case. The cause for most video games being released at $60 today is profit maximization. New PS3 games, dispite their quality (replay value, graphics, storyline, ease of play) are priced the same. A great game such as Call of Duity is priced the same as a bad game such as GI Joe. Companiescan get away with pricing their games at $60 and even the bad games will do that in order to maximize their profits.
