Quote from: soopahflythere was uproar about paying Ã,£30 a game back when the MD and the SMS were out.

Granted, it cost more to produce a cartridge than a CD, but I still think they are taking the piss.

hardly - main cost is the software development - give how much more work has to go into it these days and how many more people are invloved/employed for projects we are actually getting a better deal than we used to.

There is the cost of the media and development, todays games tend to be a lot more graphically complex than older ones.

Ã,£549, Play.com and Sony can go and fornicate themselves.

SF2, Special Championship edition was pushing Ã,£65, easily... i remember the absolute pandamonium surrounding that game when it was released, you also had to shell out Ã,£15 for the six button controller... An incredible game at the time, though.

The price of the hardware itself is utterly ludicrous.

Street Fighter for the Neo Geo

exactly what a large number of people have said.  Even with a "trade" discount a lass i know can only get one for Ã,£450.  Shes ordered one to sell on instantly to the moronic.
