I wish a label would pull a risk and sell a major artist's new album for $5 on iTunes/Amazon/etc and see how that affects the sales. The thing is that fans will pay $10+ for their fave's new album regardless, so is it easier for labels to keep the prices the same or cut them in half and hope to get at least double the normal sales, with the extra sales coming from the GP? It's questionable whether lowering the prices would actually do anything or if pirates would still pirate because it doesn't cost them anything.

Anything more is but yeah7.99 - 10.00 is good.
Remember people will play 60$ for video games

Because video games are much more work to pirate than a song/album. It requires hacking your console, putting the game on physical media/FTPing it onto your console, not being able to go online, etc. Downloading music is the same no matter which way you do it -- just drag and drop files into your iTunes.
