[quote name='sadakou']The problem isn't $50 being too much "for a handheld game." Handheld games have been offering experiences with just as much depth as console games for years now.
The real problem is that $50 is too much for console games.
Luckily, we have CAG to let us know that all games drop to $30 a couple weeks after launch.
The only reason companies try to release games at "$60 standard" prices is because people are either inpatient, uninformed, or both.[/QUOTE]
Actually, it's quite the opposite. We at CAG are so spoiled that we can get games for cheaper than the launch retail price that people like you expect it. $50 for a game is NOT too much money. Even for one that's not very good. For the amount of time and effort that it takes for these to come into fruition, and the amount of time most games "entertain" you, video games are some of the cheapest entertainment mediums in the world.
I'm very cheap, but you just sound whiny.
