I sure hope PSP and DS games aren't $49. Thats too much for portable games.
I hope there $29 like GBA games are now.

To be frank - $29 for a GBA game seems way over-priced. They're
considerably smaller in scope that console games, and must surely only
require a fraction of the cost to develop. Anybody have any evidence
that contradicts my assumption?

Unlike CD's or DVD's, they are pretty expensive to manufacture, and it's
difficult to make new cartridges quickly if a game takes off. Apparently
the new DS card format does not share these problems.

Chipsets. You find a cheaper way. GBA prices are pretty much
written in stone. And, reasonable, considering the amount of FUN
you have playing them. Now, put a price on FUN.

Agreed, but they could afford to if push came to shove, which is
what will really matter when it's competing with the PSP/

I was just putting a price on fun...as you asked. I don't know what chipsets cost. I do have fun
playing my GBA it just costs me more than 15 cents.

Really, I have a feeling a great deal of the employed gaming population
would probably buy both since there is such a large release gap and they are
two different entities.
