Um.... without wishing to point the finger... you? Which side of the fence are you on? Do you believe high dev costs legitimise high shelf prices or do you think Sony are trying to take us for fools because if they don't get some money in quick the company is likely to have to start selling off assets next year?
Just curious.
F**k that I’ve never paid more than £40 for a game, ever. I don’t sit on either side, if I like a game I’ll shop around and get it for anything between £25 - £40 (x360 games). I'm happy to pay this and if that means the rich get richer well good luck and well done. I personally feel that if a team are going to spend anywhere between 2 - 4 years developing a game that I will like then its all good.
That cleared that up then. ;)

I dont think developers put more money into a game with the sole intent to sell it for more, but to sell more copies. one thing ive noticed that is becomeing more and more common is a special edition of the game comeing out with probably another $ for the shiny metal case, and a few more for the second dvd or the $.05 pewter figurines and charging more for it. This pulls alittle more prophit from the people attracted to prity shiny metal cases.
