[PS3] Playstation 3 games costing between $59 and $99?

So from the three pages of reading, I gathered this much: not many people are able to read very well.

That Sony rep clearly said ...

So, the quick answer is that we want to make it as affordable as possible, knowing that there is a set consumer expectation for what software has cost for the past twelve years. That’s kind of the best answer I can give you. So, if it becomes a bit higher than $59, don’t ding me, but, again, I don’t expect it to be $100.

"I don't expect it to be $100." Taking in the knowledge of the past, there are some games (sup Magna Carta, PD0 Coll. Ed.) that are released with higher price tags. But that has little to do with anything regarding the console itself, but more with the developers. They chose to add this extra content or make it a little more expensive, not Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo.

Next, about that third-party shying away. In a fairly recent interview with Gamespot, Sony announced they had sent out 10,000 dev kits to 208 developers, more than the PS1, PS2, or PSP. See brief article - http://www.mozlapunk.net/homepage/?p=773

From what I've read, Sony has more developers on hand than any previous console iteration, they've shipped out more dev kits than any previous launch (in another article, I read that at this time last year, Microsoft had not sent out nearly the same amount of dev kits to their developers, and I don't even know the Wii's position on this), and the games are not gonna be $100 anywhere in the near future. The preorder list at Gamestop has two or three dozen PS2 titles, none of which are higher than $59.99.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
