PSP Go is going to retail at £224.99 so not quite the same price, but I agree with the point. Its over priced.. more expensive than the original hanheld and its not even a true successor.

I was in Poland Last week... you are looking at over 1500 zł for a PS3... which is over £300 and a 360 premium will set you back over £200 there.

Maybe i was looking in the wrong places, was in Empik and Media Markt but electronics on the whole seemed expensive.

Not necessarily, it depends on what the adverts are and how they are used. Currently when I bring up my dash I have a few of the windows dedicated to "In stores this week" and such like... all of which point me to demos with the aim of getting me to buy games... in saying that I've ended up playing demos for things i hadnt heard of and enjoyed them, this has also been used for the arcade...

So lets see how they do it and then if its not to our liking we can lodge our complaints and scrap our live subscriptions :P until then lets not make too many assumptions.

You could also set your machine to game straight to the disc and not the dash if you dont want to know about whats available on the marketplace and such like anyway

Not really, Castle crashers has been available on XBLA for quite some time now, where as FFVII was a recent addition and has sold 100k quite quickly (although im suprised its not more).

Castle crashers is a great game and deserves a lot of credit. I bought it when I had mates round and we couldn't decide what to play, 4 player co ops that people can just drop into are rare in boxed form :) so we went to the arcade and picked this up... great fun all round.

that bears absolutly no relevance when discussing development costs and royalties for the ps3 though
